Hong Kong Sound Library Demonstration Ambience

In Hong Kong, I received a message from a fellow sound recordist on Instagram who lived and worked in the city. He suggested that I should record sounds at the upcoming protest, and I knew immediately that this was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.

As I arrived at Wan Chai Station on Hong Kong Island, I could feel the tension in the air. The crowd of protesters was chanting, and the media presence and police starting their rounds. Despite the sheer number of people there, everything seemed peaceful, and I felt no sense of threat.
I walked through the crowd and listened to the powerful speech of an organizer, even though I couldn’t understand it (as I don’t speak Cantonese). It was clear that his words were stirring the people, and I could feel an electrifying energy in the air.

But the mood started to change, and I knew it was time to leave. As the protest formally began and the crowd started marching down the road towards Central, the police began blocking and obstructing the main street. With nowhere to go on the side roads and the sheer number of people pressing against the sides, many people fled into a nearby mall.
I found myself at the front of the march, and soon found myself in a situation where I needed to get out as soon as possible. The pressure of the people coming from behind, and the shift in energy to chaos, made for a tense moment. In this intense situation, I recorded all the screams and shouting, capturing the energy of the moment.

Although it wasn’t easy, I managed to escape by getting to the pedestrian bridge behind the roadblock, where I hastily walked to the mall. As I approached the entrance of the mall, my eyes started to burn, and I knew that tear gas had been released.
A smaller crowd of scared people ran towards me, shouting something, and asked me to come with them. The mall security opened the door, and we were all let inside. These recordings are also included in this library.

It was a heartbreaking experience, witnessing the protests and the use of force by the authorities. Hong Kong is a city that is loved by so many, and it was difficult to see it in such a state. But even in the midst of this chaos, there was a sense of hope. The people of Hong Kong showed incredible resilience and strength in the face of adversity. The sounds I recorded during this time reflect this mix of emotions - fear, tension, hope, and resilience. This sound library is a testament to the power of sound in capturing and conveying the human experience.
