Trees endure time and memories. Revolving around trees, the environment and living beings form a collective life community. “Tshi\u016b-\u00e1 Siann<\/em>” Whispers of Trees<\/strong>\u00a0is a collaborative artistic co-creation of trees between composer CHOU Hsuan-Hung and film director WEI Zhao-Yi. Their recording, filming, soundscaping, and music writing in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, transforms into a multimedia musical journey of projected video, music, and live performance with the Seattle Symphony string quintet and pianist Li-Cheng Hung.<\/p>\nLayered with music, the swaying shadows of trees and the ambient sounds offer a sensory experience through which the imprints of life emerge. Like daydreaming under a tree, the environment of human activity and our state of mind unfold through the perspective of trees as a listener\/viewer, entering the enhanced rhythm of everyday life, reflects upon the interactions between fantasy and reality.<\/p>\n
