Duo Improvisation (violn/electronics/motorcycle)

43′

2022

Engraving is an improvisation between 2 performers (Wong Guy Shawn & Kung Chi Shing) consisting of violin, eurorack synthesisers and a motorcycle (Yamaha SR400). The piece was a response to a moment when the city was filled with oppression and frustration, a stagnant state following the 2019 social movement and during COVID. The motorcycle was frequently used during the period to navigate the dysfunctioned city, serving as a symbol to drive the whole performance.

The engine served as a system clock for both synthesisers and was filling up the room with exhaust gas towards the end of the performance.
