Film by Astra Huimeng Wang
In Time's Ruins began as a film directed by Astra Huimeng Wang, which I joined as a sound artist to compose the original score. The film opens with people shooting a piano. Carrying its damaged body, they travel from a Nevada ghost town through the Arizona desert and into downtown Los Angeles.

The piano was my entry into art through classical training. In 1990s Chongqing, it also carried a family's aspirations for an ideal life and an imagined West. The funeral procession asks how we part with a familiar cultural symbol when the ideals invested in it begin to lose their hold.

Drawing from the third movement of Mahler's First Symphony, the score shifts through jazz, gospel, electronic music, and gothic rock as the landscapes change—genres that, over the course of music history, gradually displaced the cultural prominence of the classical piano. 

The work was first presented in 2024 as a two-channel video installation at Make Room in Los Angeles:

Polite Infidelity (Astra Huimeng Wang’s solo exhibition,), installation view, Make Room, Los Angeles, 2024. View the full film at Make Room.
This work is intended to be experienced in person. A 10-second preview is presented here. 
In 2025, the work was expanded into a six-channel spatial sound installation and live performance at Headlands Center for the Arts:

    • In 2026, it was further reconfigured as a site-specific spatial video installation at Djerassi Resident Artists Program:
