The suffering pond is constructed from found frequencies inspired by stories of anti-colonial resistance in Taiwan. Like objects stacked to form a street barricade, the sounds in this piece are stacked to form an interlocking architecture of protection, porosity, and improvisation. Vocal recording of "Rainy Night Flower" by Jui-Lien Chou.
