Taiwan Soundscape

I've started teaching in my department from today. Although it last only one term, it is a start! The course is called Phonography.

It has taken me two weeks for preparation. When finishing the first lecture today, students' actions seemed to be fine-- when they left the room, they came to me to say 'thank you'! I guess that means that they'll come back again to my lecture, right?!

What an opportunity that makes me happy! I feel great! Hope you can share my joy, too!

At last, after 3 months, this CD is finally completed!

For those participants who have not given me their correspondent addresses, please do so soon when it is popping hot!

Thank you very much for your support and participation. I hope you'll enjoy listening to it!

Since Yam and Webs-tv mergerd last Nov, I have not been able to log in to make any new post. Despite of making complains via e-mail, no staff has taken action to help me out. When I was about to give up, I tried to log in through Roodo today and surprisingly I succeeded! I am really happy about it. However, it's a shame that the blog address has been changed and old web-friends would not be able to find me. sigh~~

It's not easy at all-- the late CD is finally out! Thank every participant's support and patience. I have to thank also to everyone giving me this opprotunity of editing and producing. I really cherish and appreciate it! The CD will be sent from the UK on next Monday. People can receive it approx. in 1 week later. Please inform me once you have received it. ^_^ I hope you are going to have a happy listening! You are very welcome to share your thought on the blog after listening! Picture 1, Pictire 2.

^_^ Happy Happy! Counting since September, this blog has reached 1,000 visitors today! Thank you all for great effort and kind support! Hope you will continuously use this space to share the enthusiasm of environmental sounds of Taiwan with many other people! Everybody Go Go Go! Yeh! (sounds of firecrackers!!!)

I have changed a brighter layout for this blog, hope you like it. Perhaps you are curious about the little girl in the photo? ^_^
On that day we were taking a friend's car to go to the beach. Because the little girl did not understand that I was recording sounds, she asked me why I wanted to have the microphone when I went out. In that moment I had no idea how I could make her understood, I thus told her that because I loved singing! The lovely girl seemed to appreciate my answer very much, she grabed the microphone from me and started singing her favourate soungs! (quite a few!) Of course, I recorded them all! ^_^ When she grows up, I will play these recordings to her!

Having noticed that under the message of [The Founder], of our Chinese site, people have responded with quite a few valuable experiences and knowledge which are worthy of revisiting and discussing. If you feel it is accessible, why don't we adapt this feeback space as the discussion board of the blog? Hope you can come often and have a chat about sounds!

Today Cheng-Shian points out that this blog is too academic. It is difficult for the public to acccess. I wonder if anyone can give some advices for improving this blog and let more people to enjoy this blog?

Thank Cheng-Shian's advice.

To make sound art, knowledge and skills of electroacoustic music can be very helpful! Now a column is created specifically for 'electroacoustic music' in this blog. Hope you will enjoy it.

Time flies. This blog has been up for 1 month. However, it seems to be a bit 'cold' here. Nevertheless, I will do my best to maintain and develop this blog. When I see some links that are useful, I will add them into this site. Hopefully the blog can be helpful for the people who have the similar interest. ^_^
