Percussionist Angela Hui, exhibition "Liquid Ground" @ Para Site & in the studio: WHIZZ

2021-08-25
Music probably began with humans noticing the sounds they could get from hitting or scraping objects in the world around them. Over time we created musical instruments to refine those sounds. Percussionist Angela Hui finds joy and creative potential not only in such recognised musical instruments but also in the sounds we can make from everyday objects around us.

For a century and a half, Hong Kong has expanded its coastline to meet the perpetual demand for more space, but the seas could roar back. The threat of climate change and the possibility that some cities or areas around the world could eventually be reclaimed by the sea has provided a starting point for the show "Liquid Ground", the latest collaboration between Para Site and UCCA Center for Contemporary Art. Featuring 11 new commissions and recent work by a total of 15 artists, the installations reflect on the aggressive land reclamation projects undertaken by many Asian cities, including Hong Kong’s "Lantau Tomorrow Vision".

The all-girl band WHZZ was formed two years ago when vocalist Wong Yu-shan and her three fellow musicians got together via Instagram. But the band did not just get together due to social media. They still use it to highlight their music and their slickly produced videos, as well as to interact with their fans. For them, it is one strategy they can use to maintain their musical independence and individuality. Earlier this week, they came to our studio to tell us more.
