WATER POEM

"Freedom is not Free" is a high-energy Drum & Bass track set at 170 BPM. It kicks off with a haunting atmosphere, featuring distant vocal samples and a subtle, echoing melody that builds tension. The drop unleashes a barrage of sharp, rolling basslines, punchy drums, and intricate percussive elements. The track weaves between intense, driving sections and brief moments of calm, reflecting the theme of struggle and sacrifice. Layered with eerie synths and dynamic effects, the track creates a relentless pace, embodying the message that freedom comes with a cost.

《Freedom is not Free》是一首與台灣有關的高速能量鼓打貝斯音樂，節奏設定在每分鐘170拍。這首曲子以充滿張力的氛圍開始，背景中隱約傳來的聲音樣本和迴響旋律逐漸醞釀情緒。隨著節拍的下沉，銳利的滾動低音線、強力的鼓點和精巧的打擊元素被釋放出來。音軌在激烈推進的段落與短暫的平靜之間交替，反映出掙扎與犧牲的主題。多層次的詭異合成音和動態效果，營造出一種無情的節奏，體現了自由是需要付出代價的訊息。

Freedom Is Not Free

“Recall” captures the spirit of civic resistance in Taiwan—when the people rise against injustice and demand accountability.「罷免」紀錄了台灣人民在面對不公義與政治失衡時，走上街頭，發聲、奮鬥的心情。

我們衝出來

Hello Taiwan

Why is China holding private, closed-door meetings with democratic leaders — including in Ireland — despite growing warnings about CCP influence operations? And how does this secrecy connect to Beijing’s global effort to reshape the narrative around the Uyghur crisis?

In this episode, Irish anthropologist Dr. David O’Brien joins us to share insights from his time living and researching in Xinjiang in the mid 2000's. We explore how the Chinese Communist Party uses covert diplomacy, narrative manipulation, and state-aligned “human rights” organizations like the China Federation for Human Rights Development (CFHRD) to obscure evidence of human rights abuses against Uyghur Muslims.

Dr. O’Brien discusses what he witnessed on the ground, the impact of the 2022 UN Human Rights report and international sanctions, evidence of population reduction and forced sterilization, and the broader challenge China poses to universal human rights. We also examine how the United Front Work Department conducts influence operations within democratic countries — often out of public view.

This episode exposes the high-stakes battle over truth, transparency, and human rights in the face of authoritarian pressure.
