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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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....
A few days ago my buddy Maks and I donned our riding gear and set off on a drive through the mountains on a pair of 250cc scooters for a little hot spring resort area known as Guanziling (關子嶺). The resorts were the last things on our minds, thank...
I wanted to talk about my current field recording rig – what I consider a pretty powerful, convenient and relatively small package. The entire thing can fit on a scooter and can be set up and taken down rather quickly. I’ve tried out several combinations of equipment and finally...
Yesterday I finally got the chance to head up to Bànpíng Shān for a recording. Over the years, I must have seen this mountain hundreds of times – it’s kind of hard to miss. But I had never realized you could actually climb it. It’s surrounded by industry,...
