Ride Info This was a fun little ride on the riverbed near Laochijia village. There’s a gate barring the way to the village here: 22.440228 120.695503 The gate is no longer there as of 2019. It get’s a little hairy around here: 22.433164 120.709214 You might be able to...
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...
It has been some time since my last post. Unfortunately my SPS200 developed a major noise problem. It happened when I was testing my gear before going out recording.

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 found mention of this Kickstarter project on The Music of Sound blog. For $1 you can have the recordings of over 60 firearms to add to your collection *if they meet their $7000 goal*. Why not head over to Kickstarter and back them for 5 or 10 bucks?...
