WORDS was commissioned by pianist and poet Ting Luo. It is a multimedia work with piano music, spoken words and visuals. The vocals consist of Miss Luo, reciting in Mandarin and English, a poem written by her, about the story of her grandfather, himself a composer during the late 20th century in China. Ms Lou also performed the piano part live in concert. The interplay between the poem, the video, and the piano, create a multimedia composition that immerses the audience in a blanket of enticing, reflective sound-visual experiences.
