She Says
Composer Anruo Cheng writes: “She Says is an electroacoustic composition based on the topic of anti-violence against women. The intention of this work is to speak out for female victims of domestic violence and others who have suffered from the most recent mass violent crimes against women in my home country—China. For multiple reasons, these female victims' voices are muted in Chinese mainstream media and social media. As a woman, I feel sorry for them and don't want their suffering easily forgotten or wiped out. As a composer, I think writing this piece is what I can do to best to support them.”

She adds: “In this work, you will hear heavy percussive sounds every 7.4 seconds throughout the piece, representing the domestic violence happening to Chinese women. I also use the twisted Chinese ancient folk tune Jasmine flower (originally praising women's purity and nobility) as a metaphor for the victims and twisted facts people are facing. Many other sound objects manipulated by electronic techniques are also inspired by these incidents, like the sounds of chains, metallic percussive sounds, and sounds of broken glass bottles.”
