This week’s transmission is an excerpt from our archive of field recordings done in Hong Kong in 2008. Though recent, many sounds captured in these few minutes reflect a Hong Kong of the past: due to development, the sound landscape of the city has changed drastically within the past few years, as Chinese institutions like the open-air food markets, or dai pai dong, disappear from the streets. This clip echoes the sounds of a Hong Kong that can no longer be accessed.
We hope you enjoy this third installment of transmissions.
