Noise Project is an ongoing sound and live performance by Leslie Yao from 2018.
The collective memory of childhood in Dazhongli in Shikumen, Shanghai, allowed the author to avoid most of the noisiness in the urbanisation process of Shanghai in the late 1990s. The importance of the fried eggs, the croquet and the child king in the alley is far greater than the skyscrapers that emerge from the yellow sheets on the second floor of the aunt.

After the author returned to the town and his mother's life, when he grew up and met Shanghai, that was another sky. The visual extinction has become inevitable, but the medium of audio, like poetry, creates the Aura that is indelible. The sound of the car in the memory, the alley is selling, lingering.

Around the long-term use of the body as a medium to create a time theme, Yao will use the sound medium as the main body in this performance, and the body will be attached to the action. The audience, who is sitting or squatting or meditating, is the direct feedback of the Burnout Society as described by Professor Han Bingzhe (de). So far, the activity centred on the theme of “Space and Collective Memory, Collapse and Fear of the Old World”, with “urban noise genus” and visual output as the main creative medium to explore and reflect on the position of the younger generation in the process of urbanisation.

​The noise properties of different locations and environments are presented in the form of a musical journey designed to provide busy urban life with time and space for self-examination, to create sound and people, people and people in a “meditation” common journey. Resonance in between.
