Category / FieldNotes 考察中
研究生的考察範圍、指向，是世界的未來的形骸，新知識的風向計，對現今時代的把脈。起家立說之前，往往是轉瞬即逝的珍寶 — 直覺、對問題的「肚腹」般的反應。我們要好好留著。完整的辯說，碎片，靈光一閃，大小故事，所見所聞，理念層次的穿線連點結網…。「在地」、「尋檔」、「書寫作為思考」等陸續有來。A network of ideas from doctoral researchers whose tentative thinking may value as much as well formed writings. Hear their voices. Michael Leung’s “ON LAND,” Vennes Cheng’s “THINK-PAD,” Lim Yeon-kyung’s “ACTING OUT” and more are arrivals…

Elliott Wan / HK’s Indie Music Scene (10): a way to conclude 暫時總結
"To sum it up: if the strongest shall fall, what can survive?" asked Elliott Wan, in search on more thorough research in his graduate studies. 「最強的也會倒下去，那麽能生存下去的可以是誰？」溫啟朗在完結篇留下了這問題，看來，繼續深究是必須的。
Elliott Wan / HK’s Indie Music Scene (9): the Economy of Independent Production and Distribution 香港獨立音樂場景系列之九：獨立製作和發行的經濟
An Ancient Greek proverb says, “Society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit.” If immediate profits are all that we care about, the same mainstream-Vs-independent split will repeat itself. 若要擺脫活在西歐和亞洲區的陰影下，就得重注孕育年青新一代本地獨立音樂創作人，現在就得改善土壤，為了不太近的未來。
Elliott Wan / HK’s Indie Music Scene (8): Independent Vs Mainstream 香港獨立音樂場景系列之八：如何獨立

Elliott Wan / HK’s Indie Music Scene (5): Distribution Methods 香港獨立音樂場景系列之五：發行方法
As part of his undergraduate thesis, Elliot Wan examines the shifts in HK indie music's modes of distribution. Online-streaming and virtualization has been a growing trend, even before COVID-19 arrived. 獨立音樂的生產與傳遞趨數碼化、善用虛擬平台已成大勢，卻並不單由新冠狀肺炎所起。
Elliott Wan / HK’s Indie Music Scene (4): Indie music and local identity 香港獨立音樂場景系列之四：本土身份
What specific shape has localism taken since 2009? What role has HK's indie music arena played? In part 4 of his 10-part report, Elliott Wan makes the connection between between several activities and incidents. 本土精神強調本地生活、經驗的累積是身份認同的資源，自主生活的底。獨立音樂佔了個甚麼角色？

In the 3rd of his 10-part essay, Elliott Wan accounts for 5th-generation Hidden Agenda's encounters to profile the shape of localism this live-house project has illustrated. 從 Hidden Agenda 衍化為 This Town Needs，2008-2020 並不是香港獨立音樂的完結篇。新冠肺炎從天而降，或是另一種生機的萌發。
