Three sound compositions  (2008, 2009, 2011) by sound artist Yannick Dauby, based on field recordings of Taipei city and its surroundings.  Inspired by the Ghost Festival and the ambiences of Summertime, by the evolution and modernity of the urban environment, by the now extinct plain aborigines who once lived in the Taipei basin, these works are reflecting three ways of listening the urban soundscape of Taiwan’s capital.

法國聲音藝術工作者Yannick Dauby 定居台北地區數年來, 持續以台北市及其周邊環境錄音為創作素材。受到歐洲藝術節慶的邀請創作或於電台播出, 在2008、2009、2011年間創作了三個聲音編曲作品。其作品靈感分別來自於：鬼月- 農曆七月的夏日氛圍; 台北二零三零- 關於台北都會環境發展的近未來想像; 凱達格蘭- 對於曾經生活在台北盆地, 如今已然消失的平埔族原住民族群的聲音遙想。
透過這三個作品, Yannick 提出關於聆聽這座首都城市聲音風景的三種不同體會與角度。
因為一座城市, 需要一再被想像與聆聽：台北聽三遍。

Produced by Kalerne Editions and published by Atelier Hui-Kan in Taiwan, December 2011.

Since 2008, French sound artist Yannick Dauby is collaborating with HORSE, a taiwanese male-only contemporary dance company. During these years, he created the soundtracks for the following performances:
- Bones (2008, National Experimental Theater, Taipei)
- Growing Up (2009, Theater of Taiwan University of the Arts, Taipei)
- I (2010, National Experimental Theater, Taipei and Theater in Tainan)
- Faceless by Chou Shu-Y (2011, National Experimental Theater, Taipei)

The sound material used for these projects is quite unusual for dancers and it became one of the specificity of the shows of HORSE : recordings of animal voices, urban soundscapes, industrial textures, electroacoustic abstractions…

sounds of HORSE is a glamorous publication documenting this collaboration. Its two CD contains more than two hours of sound works, organized and remastered for a domestic listening, and a double-folded booklet with high-quality photography of the dancers with texts by choreographers and dancers Chen Wu-Kang and Chou Shu-Yi, and Yannick Dauby.

This double-CD has been published in collaboration with HORSE and Atelier Hui-Kan.

This blog has been quite sleepy… Mainly because Atelier Hui-Kan has been extremely busy since November, especially working on a collaboration project between Volume-Collectif and Horse Dance.
Volume-Collectif is an art collective, this time represented by Christophe Havard, Hughes Germain, Wan-Shuen Tsai and Yannick Dauby. Horse Dance is a taiwanese male-only contemporary dance company.
The project happened in Huashan 1914 in Taipei between 10 and 27th November 2011. Three different exhibitions, three different shows with a total of 12 performances… Check the website of Horse Dance for reviews and documentation.
