a question about audience: since long time i enjoy to listen to the quiet moments of audience stopping make sounds and starting to concentrate on concert. and of course and the sounds they make during concerts and the environment sounds everybody share, with music. i’m wondering how and when one turns himself/herself into the identity of an audience. or better say into part of the collective identity of audience. it’s a way of joining in a collective. but what kind of collective? is it the way we deserve to living together and building the world?
all materials are field recordings from concerts in different occasions during 2015-2017. most of the sounds were from audience members and environment. recorded by Yan Jun; using portable recorders, smart phones and hydrophones.
composed by Yan Jun; at DAAD residency studio, berlin; march 2017

Unconditional Love, a collection of two incredibly singular mixer feedback works, typified Yan Jun’s investigations into tonality and pitch. Having created a series of related works over the years, this piece perhaps summarises these concerns. Each of the extended performances pushes at the edges of our auditory capacities. Occasionally they fall beyond what we might readily appreciate and in those moments we are asked to consider our own physiology and its particularities.
