Inspired by the Taoist concept of Five Elements that govern the interactions of all known existence, Five Waves consists of five audio recordings. Each of the tracks directly corresponds with one of the elements, namely metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. By incorporating the sounds of these natural elements with electronic notes, Lim has created a contemplative and serene soundscape that invokes the notion of “harmony” in Taoist teachings. Five Waves is also available for streaming and downloading from the Biennale’s website.
