Tsai-Wei's Sound Journal: December 2005
http://tsaiwei.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Starting from June 2004, this is my sound journal for the PhD research at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Friday, December 23, 2005. My mum's childhood name. She felt that she is in the childhood again. After she shared with me about the experience, she started to recollect her childhood memories, the living environment. When I grow old in the future. who is going to call me Shiao-Wei? I will miss this name very much because it's only called by my parents and relatives. Links to this post.

Tsai-Wei's Sound Journal: March 2005
http://tsaiwei.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Starting from June 2004, this is my sound journal for the PhD research at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Wednesday, March 09, 2005. In my room, New Cross, London, 7am. Back to my room, where sounds of airplane can be heard very frequently. This time, these sounds do not remind me of going home or endless travelling between Taiwan and London. Surprisingly, they remind me of the floatplanes in Vancouver and Victoria! Posted by Tsai-Wei Chen @ 3:20 pm. Links to this post. Monday, March 07, 2005.

Tsai-Wei's Sound Journal: March 2007
http://tsaiwei.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Starting from June 2004, this is my sound journal for the PhD research at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Thursday, March 22, 2007. The sound of snow falling. In the afternoon of 20 March at Goldsmiths, it suddenly snowed. It last for less than 30 min, I guess, and no snow was accumulated in the street to be traced. Seeing snow falling was a very nice experience. It was very beautiful. However, I have never heard any sound from snow falling. Take a tape of the sound of snow falling. For those p...

下次寫日記時,不要只記下“所見“,也記下一些“所聞“吧. 一個是英國Salford大學做的聲境的質化分析 Sound Around You. 另一個是英國國家廣播公司BBC做的 Save Our Sounds. Long Range Acoustic Device)是利用指向性的長波大聲的向遠方的敵人喊話,當其不聽勸阻時,可進行可怕的嚎叫震到敵人的耳朵受傷。 聽 台灣 / Hear! 讓我小聲說一下 我被他們邀請當 達人 ,在他們的活動網站上放了一個 開胃 短片. 有一個人很可怕,一直很想在手臂上裝一隻耳朵,後來好不容易找到醫生肯幫他裝,竟又想裝一個麥克風在裡面,好讓大家可以聽到他身體裡的血管、器官的聲音…哎…夠了,自己看 原文. 好不容易買了張音樂廳的票,想要撈本 光聽音樂哪夠 美國有一位聲音藝術家 Christopher DeLaurenti. 他趁開場前和中場休息時努力聽更多的聲音,還偷偷地錄下來,呵呵 一般是禁止的,還是別做的好 觀眾的笑聲,音樂家的調音聲…下次你去音樂會時,記得要盡量聽喔. 一、您對某個時期 如 小時候、唸書時、結婚那天…等等 所懷念的聲音。

Tsai-Wei's Sound Journal: September 2006
http://tsaiwei.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Starting from June 2004, this is my sound journal for the PhD research at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Thursday, September 28, 2006. Mum called from home to inform me that my auntie's situation of liver cancer has turned really bad in the last few days. She was taking mafin to ease the pain. When the effectiveness of mafin was gone, she would scream and kick for the killing pain she had to take. She was such a caring and generous auntie. The power of such an imaginary sound.

Tsai-Wei's Sound Journal: April 2007
http://tsaiwei.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Starting from June 2004, this is my sound journal for the PhD research at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Thursday, April 19, 2007. Missing a sound of London. Recently, just before returning to Taiwan, I noticed the beauty of birds' chirps from the flat I lived in London. They were very clear and crispy. From the texture of the sounds, I could also feel the freshness of the surrounded air. I enjoyed listening to them when I got up, when I studied and when I was about to go to bed. A few days ag...

Starting from June 2004, this is my sound journal for the PhD research at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Monday, September 19, 2005. Kids in Tesco, Leytonstone. Posted by Tsai-Wei Chen @ 1:33 pm. Links to this post. Sunday, September 18, 2005. 1 Week after moving to a flat in Leytonstone. St John’s church in Leytonstone has many kinds of bell ringtones. I cannot figure out what means what. Is it for wedding, service or practice? Posted by Tsai-Wei Chen @ 1:31 pm. Links to this post. The two te...

Tsai-Wei's Sound Journal: January 2006
http://tsaiwei.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Starting from June 2004, this is my sound journal for the PhD research at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Thursday, January 19, 2006. Still thinking about the experience in the Job Centre Plus. Having the thoughts that English speakers are ethnocentric, I think that I am ethnocentric, too. How can it be possible to expect all the people I meet in the UK to be able to speak Chinese and pronounce my name nicely before they meet me? Posted by Tsai-Wei Chen @ 11:57 am. Links to this post.

Tsai-Wei's Sound Journal: October 2006
http://tsaiwei.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Starting from June 2004, this is my sound journal for the PhD research at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Monday, October 23, 2006. It's the day to attend my auntie's funeral. It's a ceremony full of Taiwanese sonic culture- traditional Chinese musical instrument playing, monks and nuns chanting, words family saying aloud together as part of the ritual, and family members' sobbing sounds. I am glad that I have had her voice recorded. She has a very caring and joyful voice. Links to this post.
