taiwan soundscapes project 聲在台灣 
always enjoy your posts dj. they’re an inspiration, as is your commitment to learning amis (and taiwanese). i was just mentioning you to a friend yesterday. she’s based in taipei, but is from taidong and is researching 林班歌 in her home village. i mentioned your work on fishing boat songs, which as i understand it adapt the lin-ban-ge tradition.
