“Hồi Sóng” is a research and creative project undertaken by Vietnam-based sound artists, Nhung Nguyen and Zach Sch. Comprising archival material - including century-old, multinational sound
recordings from Humboldt University sound archive - and sound pieces created by the two artists, the project ultimately culminates into a website and a sound installation presented at Sàn Art space in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

This ongoing project aims to present previously inaccessible histories of peoples - specifically colonial soldiers and workers from Algeria, Egypt, Mali, Martinique, and Vietnam brought to Europe during World War I and II - through oral narratives (stories, songs, interview, in-situ recordings) intertwined with radio broadcasting methodology and the musical language of each composer. While hoisong.art will continue to store and present the research process, transcripts and materials of this project, its physical showcase also includes elements of audience interaction, encouraging the public to tune into the sound installation and interact with artifacts of their distant past.
