唯一稱得上是田野錄音的經驗， 是跟朋友去陽明山的夢幻湖， 錄下陽明山暮蟬的聲音， 牠們會集體鳴響， 聲音一波波的很像海浪拍打著空氣。
這個聲音後來也播放在與朋友們的展演之中。
那個時候的穿著已經有點忘了，大概也是好活動、輕便不怕髒的。 陽明山夢幻湖也不是難去的地方，應該也沒有穿得太機能性。 唯一比較記得的是有穿防曬的薄外套。
關於紀錄，會想到主客觀之間的互動。 不管是聲音、影像、文字。 在紀錄的當下， 會開啟日常與非日常之間的縫隙。 當投注與意識到關注之後， 彼此之間產生了互動與聯繫， 意識到了一個行為，而如何與這個行為產生回應。
消融於環境或許能夠更好的保存想紀錄的當下。 但是當開啟了想紀錄的念頭， 進而與想紀錄的人事物有了一種互動， 覺得這個聯繫是特殊的、主觀的， 並持續地在之後產生一些漣漪或變形的依附反應。
我感覺在面對人事物時難以只有思想上的認知， 感官總是會對任何的接收有感受上的反應， 客觀的紀錄或許在起心動念的那一刻起， 就加諸了意念的參與， 而在之後也慢慢沾黏上了其他情緒與思緒。
The only experience I can truly call field recording was a trip with friends to Menghuan Lake on Yangmingshan. We recorded the sound of the cicadas at dusk — they would call out in waves, their collective chorus resembling the sound of ocean waves crashing through the air.
That recording was later played during a performance we did together.
I don’t remember exactly what I wore, probably something comfortable, easy to move in, and okay to get dirty. Menghuan Lake isn’t a hard place to reach, so I likely wasn’t dressed too functionally or with technical gear. The only thing I clearly remember is wearing a thin sun-protective jacket.
When it comes to recording, I think about the interaction between subjectivity and objectivity. Whether it’s sound, image, or text — the act of recording opens a kind of seam between the everyday and the extraordinary. When attention is given, when awareness is engaged, an interaction or connection begins to form. We become aware of the act itself, and how we choose to respond to it.
Dissolving into the environment might be the best way to preserve the moment we want to record. But once the intention to record arises, an interaction begins between the recorder and the subject. This connection feels special and subjective, and it often leaves ripples or transformed attachments in its wake.
When facing people, things, or places, I find it hard to remain in a purely conceptual or mental mode. My senses always respond — there is always a felt reaction. Perhaps a so-called objective recording, from the very moment the intention arises, is already shaped by consciousness. And over time, it becomes entangled with other emotions and thoughts.
