The reason why I choose ruins is because I think that the ruins are everywhere they're all around us. But nobody looks at them actually. Also, the cityscape changes all the time in Shanghai. So, I try to record these buildings before they are destroyed or changed.

First of all, it wasn't to record the sounds in the ruins but I wanted to use the sounds that I had collected in the city many years ago and have it reproduced in the ruins. So this was actually by using digital technology to reproduce the whole spatial sense and resonance of the ruins.
