Sound, gathering, and community with Soundpocket and Hong Kong Community Radio. With cohost Allen Huang of Awesome Agency Asia.
Soundpocket is a promoter, educator, facilitator, and gatherer. We work in the fields of sound, art and culture. We find sound in diverse and dynamic relations with many different art forms (visual art, installation art, music, theatre, dance etc.), and with a variety of cultural contexts that give meanings to our lives. We would like to work with all those who share this active interest in sound.
Soundpocket supports not just an art form, but ideas and possibilities that engage with aesthetically meaningful, culturally-grounded and publicly relevant sonic practices, which have a lot to teach about how we understand the world and the experiences yet to be valued.
‘HKCR was founded in the Fragrant Harbour in 2016 by Gavin Wong, from Hong Kong label Absurd Trax, and Davy Law, who runs another Hong Kong-based label, Neoncity Records. Its community however is made up of creative people, musicians, artists and supporters. While they aren't funded, they've grown rapidly with the aim of providing safe space for newcomers, outsiders and "those who are marginalised to create a voice of their all".’ -Mixmag Asia
