The Girl in the Picture

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!

Discussion Board


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!

Is anyone there?

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. ^_^

The founder


Hi, my name is Tsai-Wei Chen. Currently, I am a PhD student in music department of Goldsmiths College, University of London. My research subjects surround Taiwanese sojourners' listening experiences in London.
I would like to use this blog to meet the people who are interested in sounds of Taiwan. Hope that discussions in this blog will realise the establishment of a Taiwan soundscape community in the near future.
