Deep within a hardwood hammock, a tree island surrounded by wet sawgrass prairie, Green House frogs (little squeaks like sneakers on gym floor), and Cuban Tree frogs, both invasive species, sing along with crickets and gentle breeze.

Tree Island Quiet Night

Decidí probar mis recién llegados micrófonos Clippy EM272 en un humedal urbano de la ciudad de Valdivia, Laguna de los Lotos, Parque Saval.
En la grabación se pueden escuchar un coro de ranas chilenas (Calyptocephalella gayi) y algunas aves (cachañas y treiles).
Es un pequeño extracto de prueba, un trozo libre de ruidos antrópicos. Luego hubo mucho ruido de vehículos y gente, por lo que decidí suspender la grabación. 
Fue una estupenda primera aproximación a los posibles resultados de estos micrófonos, que espero poder probar en condiciones más idóneas para un registro de calidad superior, pero estoy bastante conforme con el resultado.

Shakuhachi Flute Meditation in the Japanese Garden 

Japanese Garden / Shakuhachi Flute Meditation

"The Meeting of Immortals" represents an electroacoustic music endeavor that blends the principles of soundscape composition with electroacoustic music creation techniques. This work offers a novel reinterpretation of the traditional Beiguan fairy opera "Three Immortals " aiming to capture the essence of Beiguan opera in a non-traditional manner. While text and environmental sounds are recognized as vital materials in electroacoustic creation, the incorporation of multi-channel spatial audio technology enriches the sonic experience, adding a dynamic spatial dimension to electroacoustic compositions.

《仙上會議》結合聲景作曲與電聲音樂創作技術，以北管扮仙戲曲《三仙白》為文本基礎發展之電聲音樂作品，以多聲道概念呈現神仙視角的空間聆聽。為雙耳聆聽版本，建議戴耳機聆聽，但請勿調太高音量以保護耳朵聽力功能，並請勿長時間的聆聽。

仙上會議＿Meeting of Immortals

Adapted from Lin Wei's 2020 work "The Way of the Wind," the original piece uses the shakuhachi's melodious chants to describe Taoist concepts of qi and the flow of Dao. By utilizing the breath and blowing sounds of the shakuhachi, the piece creates a dialogue between bamboo and wind. The sound space techniques present the flow of wind, echoing and conversing with the shakuhachi's blowing sounds. Additional soundscape elements are incorporated, using recordings collected from Tainan National University of the Arts to depict the free and unobstructed nature of the wind, feeling both its tangible and intangible strength, parallel to the flow of qi.

The composition is divided into four sections:

- Dialogue Between Bamboo and Wind
- Wind and Wind Chimes
- Soundscape of Tainan National University of the Arts and Wind
- Prayer of Bamboo and Wind

改編自2020年林薇《風之道》作品，原曲以尺八吟唱的旋律描述道家的氣學與道運行。運用尺八吹氣聲與呼吸的律動，營造竹子與風之間的對話。以聲音空間技術呈現風的流動，與尺八的吹氣聲相呼應對話，加入更多聲景元素，混合在臺南藝術大學採集的聲音做素材運用，描述風的來去自如，感受其形亦無形的力量，與氣的流動並行。
樂曲分四段落：
竹與風的對話本曲
風與風鈴
臺南藝術大學聲景與風
竹與風的祈禱
