To have a true expert whos been collecting sounds mean come on over ten years and hes andrew ryan is currently a program host with afraid hell come when international and two will come to the pope i remember everybodys going to be willing to put it in half the pm a probe into the into one of the start of todays program asking you to tell is a little bit about yourself. Well i recently came to taiwan about seventeen years ago this time from the United States originally. And i came here and a fulbright scholarship it is this Service Guide to fit some co sponsored a taiwan and in the us government. And after being here for your doing researching and studying chinese. Ah um i ended up staying at was the guy who is staying a night you know a lot of people say you know did you know your stay as long as he did and had no idea i was only planning on staying here for you know maybe youre in the know it because it came in and then i know if you have that kind of outlook on things than you noticed it was especially together. You know strong personal connection with the place of course they will want i want off all the places that you couldve gone you want i want to know people ask me about all the time is the end obviously this has a lot to do with with having studied chinese um in alaska as canada line which race in in college and bombs i was always fascinated with the Mandarin Chinese and weeds with learning chinese indian which is part of the world as well. Indians in university i had gone to that china and id stayed in china for us somewhere in shanghai this is back in nineteen ninety four and sewing. I came to taiwan with my mind down on seeking a business in theres something about taiwan there really. He attracted the attention of relief you know in chinese is a good thing to sliced diced and a piano and they any good citizen test is often a probe that granting that it actually consists of a real connection then you feel a connection with the placement d dont ask me questions you can go with the universe is winning. You say you did above the years researching taiwan going to research what the time we were researching the feasibility of teaching english language in Elementary Schools in his back at that point on the english education started in seventh grade. Okay and so how was it was kind of dealing with this whole no idea do we get kids to start learning. Theyre great. Or is that too early. Of course that i want kids in such a full schedule and have to learn so many languages though. If your native tongue is his taco word no i dont mean i even own a mini speak mandarin in school and the new twenty first of three languages use for third grade as long as you know when i was a kid we need to learn secondly weve been told to high school. So we are studying the feasibility in it and working with kids in looking for ways of teaching kids that was the end of the most effective way and let me ask you what theres some of neils well with some of the major tasks that you have to thank bill for example language in an unfamiliar line its perfect today hell Mandarin Chinese is notable theres always more to learn. Of all fruits and the making some friends from kingswood with a new peace deal became the chief we know its its funny thinking back so far i feel like youre questioning and instantly transported me back to nineteen eighty six in its entirety remember what was going through my mind it at the ninety s but um you know obviously you have a lot of issues of Culture Shock home of different foods that might not be familiar be no tears up with their lot of students you know what i smell them the first time i come. Even simple things like radishes will fall like when i would smell that. You know the smell of a baddie with you if you turn me off. You know seventeen years later i actually cost of food for her and let all those both knew that i was afraid of in the beginning of all kinds of ive revisited them as im you know that somebody has to endure for a long time and in it you know you can use it as you learn to appreciate things that are going to be and exactly ok hold on to will for ever get serious its not that big hi to everyone that iran is the news of the u s but thats the extent of that stinky tofu the first time i have for you. Strangely enough i recently joined and then theres talk over twenty two now as i mentioned that the kenyan the pool then you run a program host revealed Taiwanese National our. But oh well provence to do at the rti and also in addition to rti. You have other programs available for example that pt testament to the syllables back with pretty upset when it is the reason i wouldnt slide i begin working. Back in the basin is called essential broadcasting system is unique i went to the big transformation mom and i that i was in nineteen ninety nine the diapers in working there it feels like every year ever and on the up and across three the year has seen our goal is to share taiwan with the rats the world. Which is very summit of the no usefulness of this program does is welcomed by the end to it and ive done everything from politics to doesnt mention food collecting sounds to tell telling stories. You name it anything about how one that we could into the side ive done in the program is very lucky this. And in addition to rti. He also holds a probe into started recently. On the hill from here to there and tell was hoovers about the program because thats when youll be the people the gift of note i want to tie ones sound and tell with all that well from here to there lactation pie star topper for telling our listeners too. I dont know the cure is dispelled any tga darkness that has the year and we could clearly hear this on to scuttle plans words on that basically with this program. I would be done is they paired me up with a visually impaired co hosts that was completely blind in a minute to us. Ive tried this old taiwanese car and from nineteen seventy nine is the nineteen seventy nine. It is a little older to me today of the button to go on from the seventies and id be the driving of course. Okay im here although my co host unit has been to one researcher. The next season to learn that until we take this cause we tried it you know all around taiwan. Its its its a typical kind of highway show with a road trip shopping and selling the anemia see an Indian American tv in the mid scene shows were you know people go on the road in the whole concept of a road trip in and that so we do with this show something that the people im really done before in taiwan and so we introduce places around the rbc three sounds thats thats my baby is recording sounds to tell stories and my co host of course also relies on sound together. Believe me as to how we can conclude that this will be given and with the oval here today. Well hes going to address rona going to a temple know how this one. Well basically that the program each program is not based on one highway in taiwan so could be in a provincial highway number two on a knob which goes through you and in the northeast coast of taiwan taipei it so we would start off where the highway begins in taipei im in that we would travel all the way to soleil been all along the way im into the Production Team is an amazing job of helping us to find an easing of people and getting that their homework beforehand. This finding people to talk to people who have opted to a traditional Family Business people for doing things that ive never experienced before. Ive been so lucky i in my stomach i want ive been very very fortunate that a lot of different places in the week this program. I havent been to any place that ive been to before. Ok so that theres a fine three leak of fun places to go. In a really special parts about the program are what we read it to somebody that we were planning on reading into the wheel we come across a sound that we were expecting to come youll come across something in those things become part of the show moves or has this organic kind of traveling feel to it like were actually going there and see friends in a car. You know. We obviously do have a planned visit the pink and she of course just like a real human adventure with us sometimes. On the Standard Program to start it and then do you think is going to places like the state never been to before i took a meal to share with you some stories you told it was very touching. You know i know you miss some people they like the city didnt expect but there were some of the stories the hat. You know im always amazed by the resilience of the taiwanese people and i think that the people that we interviewed the most fascinating people that when we come across this are people who have gone through hardships have overcome them and they doing something fascinating. You know these people are very good. Ive met some the most inspiring people and misadventures of on tv one example we meet a nice three hour hearing impaired artists. One who works with rock and when you work with its marble. One who worked with a witty and went to work with metal. And they all create completely different types of art pieces when they are creating these are works they have completely different sounds and all three of them come from three completely different backgrounds different pop up bringing different commentaries experiences in unto them were aboriginal from different tribes. And so coming across them and hearing their story look at what they create as their part in ensuring that talk about their art. And in my car was seized near the visually impaired been communicating with someone who is deaf hoh so blind person to person to think about this. Have you ever seen a blind person to person communicate directly with one another not here not impossible. Is it time you could buy a computer due course but face to face. Its a very very bah. You know moving experience for me to be part of that view not that i dont i dont see myself as a personality. Im not. Im not somebody whos personally interesting but im here for other people to come and meet each other. This inferno for people at home or watching on tv to meet other people doesnt like to argue my rose colored like a condom use and so for me to be there while my co hosts and the stuart duff artists are communicating with one others you know it its its an honor for me i would use only very modest because santa will mean to the program for montanas party wanted to be a fascinating character youre very kind according to the first trade of promises it will be back. Is steve the sea the eye welcome back to the second segment of todays world and feel that while the compost report will continue our conversation with mr and to my Paralegal Program host with Radio Taiwan International rti. Angela talking about you know comic and sounds in town want you know i know you peanut feel the heat shield program host and rti for many years the twenty two first became interested in open in collecting stamps as well be a kind of the beginning of my intel fascination with sounds you can probably i would say in two thousand of our three lk two thousand street to the support and i had basically i had gone to china and had stayed in a gene for a year. And when i came back from dating back to taipei modern went back into my old job the Radio Station and buy i started hearing all of these sounds that i remembered from when i lived in taiwan before i come to china. A villain in many ways you know theyre in their similarities between taiwan and china but theyre a lot of differences as well. In a lot of those subtle differences or audio difference is really kind of struck me as i came back to my job in radio and i was going so i started to collect them. No not have to point out that there is some serious sound recording artists put out like professional equipment in use thats not me. I have to have to be a little bit you know here and its something im in i have Great Respect for them than that. Here are the ability to do field recording something i would love to do learn how to do but for me. Ive always a look at idea of collecting sounds is more of a hobby and then something that i can use to share with other people. So i always envision how is it so it can help me tell the stories that i went for an audience its never been here for. As i start off with that and then obviously this is spread out and everytime i hear something i might be enlightened to the recorded yet. Believe me and she let me you go around the city in making sounds with their different times of difficulty of people leaking a bit differently eagle was i going to look for here the temple was seeing those communities have collected this is a guaranteed every experience that all the time all the time in on end and i understand that because you know you know its not everyday you see some guy and especially if a foreigner is doing something quite unusual in your bets. Id try to be incognito about and who invited the stealth about it has been you dont record when nobodys watching because the problem with young people discovering we are doing is they say something. And then i record it is no panties in a witty doing ok well you know what we do just that i have a safe now. That is effectively covered up by winning two of this different from p taking pictures and you know when you take pictures. You may be asking when taking picture of but im still taking that picture there mean youre not in the picture so its its kind of cleansing to navigate through nine denied trying to be is the stealth about it is possible. But theres also other things to do things like. Motor scooters or toxic banks war or a cell phone rings and it seemed to permeate the entire collection of courts happens quite a bit of what we i mean it. It is the same everywhere is just different sounds that are affecting you record it on here. Im sure given the states youd also helped hundreds of cell phone rings mean you know if it means olivias hand to me when hed go around clicking sound certain people can ask you you know mr and whoa what you doing this and whats the purpose namely to do this i mean what they have been times that you fill pages to sustain on them looking for havent people to collect it in place from taiwan. May i state it feels good to go to iran like that. Days like this ever had. Eight sometimes i try not to state it because a lot of presence on the stage it is you can tell its not been good but it didnt happen properly test of whether we would in real life marketing example theres a very funny moment our very First Episode from here to stay there and we go into this market place in this is the love marketplaces marketplaces are awesome for collecting sounds in for meeting people in humans love to talk the best interviews the most. I included interviews with often happen the markets its very problematic. So we go into this market place and theres some that this wasnt enough maybe it is on the northeast coast. I think was in the teachings and come in and out. We go up to this day we were to record all these different sounds and we taught this. This one wonderful woman in jeans shes stopping me this is like me she sees me coming in i know i explain what im doing to so that she doesnt think its strange to have that video camera crew behind it. Im starting to know somethings up trend. And i can i explain that you know my co hosts the shoes the second time tonight. He loves to record some swap with two weekends ago and shes recording its not me this can of beer can alter the right and that he he he he i explained in his recording the sounds and hes getting this hour talking to me this is that although many images of extra topping Something Like this really nice to see takes the knife out and is no need of the top lock. It uses kind of like being the motion is unique in here because theres no need hair and is intended to be tough to get some of the sebring of the vegetables and fruits with a whole week we were partly we got her act a topping to be the beginning but it just goes to a lovely moment when she wanted to help out. Indeed i think the answer probably also realizes of the little bit different. We have learned of the engine has collected over two thousand files of different sounds in round one what was settled themselves a christian the most well at the decrepit state that goes to the other sounds. Not all of them are or arent bake actual thousand tv clips of people talking in interviews and so the news of the announcement of activity have yet to categorize them it wasnt that into big things of the csa this up win over thousands of them is awesome. And theres this fascinating sounds everywhere you turn. I love traditional sounds of love songs the temples of people doing you know traditional things lost arts in taiwan i love him more than a decade at the helm of sounds that are connected to people and says that if you hear a sound and then you automatically think of a person or you know his or her story. That makes it sound much more interesting example. I think the guys that sell the tv is usually a guide to the somewhat see that quickness rights of call centers in all of its one times the car will make this clicking sound to cut cut cut cut cut it in the aisle. Ill update as i love taking a sound recording and playing it for people in asking he knew what the sound its been a lot of times people didnt really remember it and then only one person on deck. I know that is thats it thats why the seller in and for me theres no more the seller was this guy mr wong who i use to be near the agents on the mrt station i havent seen him in awhile something. I am somewhat concerned of the dom does this with about ten years ago is already quite old but this time. But the note she told me about a story about hockey. It was richly doing business with a friend in them that this is kind of fell through. And then he turned to selling while she is in at the time he had no idea that the rest is like this could be spent selling its traditional dessert. When i heard him say or eat in and innocent you know this sound has accompanied him for thirty years. His head from what we did have a unit of the brewery had to be or you know that obviously is was on all the time is the point. An easy in and i said that this was the sound of broken dreams wrapping goodness rights. He notes. When you think of a sound is the thing connected to a person takes on a whole different level of meaning of course and internal note the following questions a fair question but what would you think your nail painting. This discount that this represents a lot of it a great question. New identity as im busy answering its hard to whittle taiwan down to one to one specific sounds awesome i have to get back to doha to have abounded in two segments of the year. Ronaldo has created. Over the years you know for collecting sounds from taiwan were some of the places that you feel yo
