It has been some time since I’ve had a proper post…and there’s a reason behind it: I’ve spent every waking hour (and some non-waking hours) building a tool. A tool you say!? What kind of tool!? A garden tool? A microphone preamp? The next best thing to sliced bread?...
Last week I took a three-day recording trip up north to capture high-speed rail trains and station ambience for my Taiwan train sound library. The highlight of the trip was the first day when I recorded the high speed rail train (bullet train) pass-by’s. Unfortunately it was quite a...
On September 28, 2015 super typhoon Dujuan hit Taiwan. In a brave move to record this dangerous natural phenomenon, tempting the hand of fate and having no regard for self injury or even death…I set up in the garage and recorded from the comforts of my own home. ...
Back in November 2013, I searched the Donggang area for interesting sounds. I found a little park after dark and went out on to the beach. After climbing over some concrete “wave breakers/things that keep enemy landing parties at bay” I found something interesting to record… There were a...
On August 8th, 2015 typhoon Soudelor made landfall on Taiwan. I’ve been wanting to record a typhoon for some time now, but haven’t thought of a good way to do it. Dangerous winds and rain aren’t part of a good recipe for a field recording! So I figured when...
I recorded some wicked sounding cicadas last week in the mountains. I got stopped by an old gate. When I took off my helmet to have a listen, MAN I couldn’t believe how creepy it all sounded. I’ve been recording a lot in the mountains recently. Partially because I...
[:en]It has been a while since my last post. It’s a busy time of year for our voice over business, so field recording has to take a back seat to that unfortunately. However, with more time inside, I’ve had time to create my very own sound map! I got...
[:en]I want to share with you some sites I’ve found related to sound in Taiwan. An interesting one is “Sound and Taiwan” run by Wu, Tsan – Cheng (吳 燦 政). There is Sound Map with a collection of nearly 2000 recordings around Taiwan. The Sound Map is integrated...
Turtle Hill is a somewhat unknown hill near Lotus Lake, Kaohsiung. It apparently used to be a military base, but now it’s a park. I had some spare time after the New Year’s celebrations and figured I’d have a look. I had originally planned to record around Lotus Lake...
[:en]I’ve had a string of “boring” recordings lately–meat & potato type of stuff–so I thought it was time for someplace a little more interesting. Not too far from me there’s an island known as Cijing (旗津). It’s basically a long strip of land just barely detached from the mainland....
