#3: The sound of the last hour at Lloyd Center
1h 26’
Documented through a 1-hour and 26-minute continuous recording of a walk through the mall before closing on its final day. From the sound of the pinball machine to the crowd near the ice rink, there are no edits and no distortion. The long capture implies the Long Live for this place and for a day of community gathering like this.

“Qi's curated playlist for our program felt so intentional, personal, and of-the-moment. There were many songs I was familiar with and many new songs I got to experience! We hosted the event at the beginning of summer, and the music felt so perfectly summer-y. Thank you Qi for your curation!" - Envy, APANO Cultural Work Manager
