"At the door: A Shanghai Lilong Soundwalk" offers a 360-degree acoustic exploration that captures the fluid dynamics of Shanghai's lilong neighborhoods. Over the course of 30-minute, the piece seamlessly intertwines the past with the present, the near and the far by weaving together lilong soundscape in various locations in Shanghai, and four sets of interviewees’ narrative of diversed living experience in lilong compound from 1960s to 2021. This sonic journey serves as a captivating and poetic documentation of Shanghai's lilong, inviting its audience to experience the memories woven into these historic neighborhoods through the medium of sound. The piece is originally mapped onto an abandoned lilong space near Laoximen Station in Shanghai.
