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. ...
This was just one of those random things. I was in my studio preparing for a voice recording when I heard this really loud engine noise outside. At first I thought it was the mosquito smoker guys (think leaf blower with smoke shooting out). Whatever it was wasn’t real...
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 September 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...

Ride Info If you want to do a little riding but don’t have the time to hit the mountains, you can stop by Gaoping Riverside Park for a little dirt trail riding. It’s mostly graded dirt roads used by farmers and gravel trucks. There are a few double track...
Ride Info This is a great group of scenic trails that doesn’t require a great bike unless you plan on hitting the riverbed. There are plenty of trails I didn’t try on this trip, which can be seen on google maps – if they can be believed. There’s a...
Ride Info This is a relatively easy ride down the riverbed near Sandimen to get to Xinhaocha village that was destroyed by typhoon Morakot. Only a sunken church remains. To get to the riverbed you can try and drive through the aboriginal cultural village here: 22.707003,120.652546 You’ll have to...
