感謝李志豪老師的邀請， 我們與救世軍石湖學校的中四至中六同學進行了兩次聆聽工作坊。通過聆聽練習，提出關於聲音、聆聽、自身及社會的問題，鼓勵同學主動聆聽，主動創作。

第一節的工作坊，我們把日常物變成“聲音物件”，如：橡筋、膠叉、文件夾、水、紙、玻璃樽、鐵皮盒、筲箕等不同組合。一些同學負責“演奏家”的角色，一些同學負責“指揮家”的角色，帶點節拍地一起即興合奏。

第二節的工作坊同學在繪製聲音地圖時，發現各人對聲音的理解，演繹都是主觀和不同的，看其中三位同學表達的蟬聲就知道了：

最後，60個同學各選了在學園聽到又喜歡的一種聲音，重組救世軍石湖學校初夏午後的聲境。（咿~~很多怪叫的生物出來了!）

記錄聲音有很多方法，扮演聲音，與伙伴合作演繹聲音，也是一些記錄和創作的方式。

Thanks for the invitation by Mr. Lee Chi Ho, we held two listening workshops with F.4 to F.6 students of The Salvation Army Shek Wu School. Through the listening exercises, we raised the question about sound, listening, yourself and the relation with the society, thus to encourage students to become an active listener, also be active to create.

In the first session, we turned the daily mundane materials into “sound objects”， for instance, rubber band, plastic fork, file holder, water, paper, glass bottle, metal box, drainer etc of different combination. Some students took the role as “performer” and some took the roles as “conductor”, together with some beats, students jammed an improvised ensemble.

After the students made the sound map in the second session, they compared and realised each of them could have different interpretation of the same sound, it is very subjective and unique. Take a look for the following students to see 3 different ways of expressing cicada’s sound: (see above soundmaps)

Finally, 60 students picked an impressive sound they heard in the campus, and mimicking this sound together to reconstruct the soundscape of “early summer afternoon of The Salvation Army Shek Wu School”. (ooops, why so many weird and noisy creature had come out!)

There are many ways to record sound,  mimicking sound, reinterpret sound with a group is also a way to record and create.
