Justice on the streets of Pailoucun, 1987
Aug 18, 09:39 AM
"Rain at night in big cities hits differently. Against the backdrop of neon lights, throbbing traffic and pulsating crowds of people, the steady beat of rain adds a deep cinematic quality to a city.
"This sound of night rain in Beijing has been reimagined with the soundtrack of a 1980s thriller/mystery in mind, as perhaps an intrepid detective pulls his collar up to face the rain and head out onto the streets in his dogged pursuit of justice. The piece is intended to be reminiscent of underscoring, perhaps in an early scene-setting fragment of this hard-boiled (imaginary) movie."
