The main idea is based on wanting to show the sound characteristics of the space itself, and what kind of sound experiment possibilities are there for the very large number of speakers? Is it possible to turn them into musical instruments? Not just as a playback carrier for sound content.

Before and after the soundscape of many different environmental spaces sounded, I operated the resonant snare drum sound wire, the vibrating tinfoil attached to the front of the speaker, ​and the metal percussion produced when the telescopic rope fence is rolled back etc. Let the attention of the audience return to the space itself.

In addition, in the reverberation-free space where the work was performed, the only sound reflection between the two metal doors was also recorded by me and used in the work (unfortunately, the audience could not hear it directly due to angle restrictions). This is a corridor constructed by traveling through the sounds of there and here.​

廊道施工中"Corridor under construction"是今年參與C-LAB臺灣聲響實驗室「聲徜實驗計畫」的創作成果,藉由他們的技術與硬體協助,嘗試創作於Ambisonics立體聲場演出的作品。

主要構想是基於想展現那個空間本身的聲音特質,以及那非常大量的揚聲器還有甚麼樣的聲音實驗可能? 有可能將它們化為樂器嗎? 而不僅僅是作為聲音內容的播放載體。在無數其他空間的聲音響起之前後,我藉由現場操作共振的小鼓響線、揚聲器前貼附的震動錫箔紙、伸縮帶紅龍欄柱回捲時產生的金屬敲擊,讓現場聽眾的注意力回到所在的空間本身。另外特別一提,作品演出的無殘響空間內,唯一會有的兩扇金屬門間的聲音反射也被我錄下並運用在作品中(可惜由於角度限制無法讓觀眾直接聽到)。這是一個透過在彼處、此處的聲音間穿梭而建構起的迴廊。

特別感謝C-LAB臺灣聲響實驗室、林育德及丁啟祐的技術協助、何承恩幫忙演奏了天井的金屬敲擊聲、李莉姝在行政事務上的幫助、鄧樂滔提供了演出宣傳用的照片,來觀賞作品演出的聽眾及給予反饋的朋友,還有為作品命名並同意擔任演後與談的楊雨樵。
