Prog. notes: Steve Hui (Nerve) digitally synthesized environmental sound as the four seasons, and modulate the representational sound into music as the three intervals in between. Jamsen Law (npool) turns the theatre into a site for visualizing networks of co-beings, and rejoice with the sound as one. While prompting associations and reconnecting memories of seasons, they also lead audience to another perspective of the reality. This is a journey traveling through the layers of invisibles. 

Collaboration between sound and visuals, never aimed at describing the same scenery, nor it was generated from one by another. Only by summoning them up, the whole landscape can finally be seen.
