Saan Yaam《山音》

In Saan Yaam, I present my 2022 commissioned work, Wind Piano, on stage.

Wind Piano is an installation art piece — a wind-powered electronic piano and more importantly, a sculpture of the wind, which attempts to challenge the boundaries of nature and art technology.

Saan Yaam (in Cantonese, the sound of the mountain) brings together music director Alan Kwan, new media artist Henry Chu, and jazz saxophonist Scott Murphy in a cross-disciplinary exploration of Hong Kong’s mountainous essence.

Chu’s kinetic installation gives shape to the mountain’s tangible contours and traces the invisible paths of the wind. Kwan and Murphy’s original jazz compositions, inspired by Kowloon’s Eight Mountains, intertwine to form a virtual soundscape—an “artificial canyon” where music and visuals merge.
