Just let me die a lil🩸

‘Feeding back with my own heartbeat. The vibration goes through my body, using my own body as the resonance box for the loud sounds. As loud as a church bell, as loud as your world could bear.

…

It’s like falling in love but we are stuck in the falling part.’

Just let me die a lil’ is a series of live performances and sound installation happened between 2025 January- April. This series of event was curated based on personal experience and the research about decaying, dying and falling in love.

The live performances used birthday whistles, feedbacks with a cone speaker, vocoder, star-shape tambourine and a contact mic on the performer’s heart to frame the whole scene.

Absurd funeral procession like vibe to create chaos in heaven. A fever dream style.

The sound installation used performer's blood, glitter and colourful threads chains on performer's face. While the death of a heart sound is vibrating in a car-speaker throughout the hours in the gallery.

<You Only Live Twice>

There is something beating

Inside my chest

for you

Everyday

There is something keep on

Falling for you

I love you

Glimpse of us

Burying our bodies

Glitchy memories of us

In the future

Bleeding kisses

Grieving my philosophy

On your lips

Kill me now

Please just let me

have my sweet suicide

Just let me die a lil

Reviews:

'"Just let me die a lil' was a surprise and just bloody brilliant. Mad, wild, moving, exciting, childish, dead serious.'

'...the wonderful, zany composition by percussionist Angela Wai Nok Hui. Just let me die a lil is extraordinary, a whole new vocabulary of sounds. The composer explains: ‘Feeding back with my own heartbeat. ...stuck in the falling part’. There is much beauty here.'
