Red Packets & Lion Dances

Wed, 19 Feb 2025 05:15:10 +0000

Chinese New Year is the biggest holiday in Singapore, and a major theme is prosperity. It ranges from giving hong bao (红包), red packets with cash, booking a lion dance troupe or going for the mega jackpot at the national lottery. To mark the Year of the Snake, I'm going to track down a troupe and record a full performance. Will I manage to find one during the 15 days of celebration?

Rain, Rain, Go Away!!!

Tue, 14 Jan 2025 01:30:00 +0000

Traditionally, December is the wettest month of the year, but 2025's January is proving to be very different with a month's worth of rainfall in a day (Jan 10th) and non-stop rain thereafter. The continuous rain is good for watering plants and filling reservoirs, but the monsoon rains are really good for helping you destress and nod off to dreamland.

This episode is an hour of blissful rain recorded in a quiet residential area, from 3am - 4am, with a calming blend of rain and cicadas. Bookmark this episode to use again whenever you need an assist to get a good night's rest

You Otter Go to the Night Safari!

Tue, 03 Sep 2024 16:00:00 +0000

The Night Safari in Mandai is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and the big draw has always been to see animals at night; lions, elephants, rhinos - the bigger, the better, you might think when it comes to entertainment value. And yes, when the lions roar, it's a sound that inspires awe and terror at the same time. But on my trip, the best sound I captured were Bubble and Squeak, two playful otters swimming and scampering around their enclosure. Be prepared to fall in love!

Murder Most Fowl

Out and about again with my parabolic mic, I decided to track down a single cicada and record it going through a full cycle of the iconic cicada song. Alkaff Mansion is a good spot to get away from the city and record cicadas... but there are also plenty of crows there. Crows happen to be a natural predator of the noisy critters... and mayhem ensues!

Flamingo a Go-Go

Jurong Bird Park, featured in early episodes early in 2020, shifted in January 2024 to Mandai, to be next to Singapore Zoo, Night Safari & River Wonders. So, it was time to visit my feathered friends in their new digs, and get up close to the American Flamingos. The way the old place was laid out, you couldn't get that close. Now, in the Crimson Wetlands, I was just a few metres from them and finally heard the noise that the stars of the Miami Vice opening sequence sound like: it's not what you think!

Speak Solid English - No.1 Passport In the World

Tue, 27 Feb 2024 16:00:00 +0000

Founded as a port, Singapore has grown into a leading SE Asian hub for trade and travel and welcomes visitors for both business and pleasure. It's a two-way street, though: Singaporeans also LOVE to travel, and the Singapore Passport was recently ranked no.1 because it grants holders visa-free travel to 196 countries across the world.

Speak Solid Singlish - O$P$

Mon, 19 Feb 2024 16:00:00 +0000

Singaporeans love to abbreviate things, and illegal loansharks have popularised O$P$ - short for Owe Money, Pay Money. With credit companies popping up, getting your hands on quick cash no longer requires you get in bed with gangsters, and the legacy of these dodgy dealers is now stuff of stories kids are told to warn them to be financially prudent!

Till We Meet Again

Today, January 23rd 2024, marks a year since I lost my brother, Paul. He & his wife loved to travel, but because of his illness and the pandemic shutting borders, he never got to see Jewel at Changi Airport. So I spent a few hours grabbing sounds he would have heard at T1, T2, T3, and Jewel. The sounds in the episode are (in order)

Roadside drop-off (T3)
Pedestrian Crossing Jewel <-> T1
Electric Cart for Custodial Staff (T2)
Split-Flap Display (T2)
Changi MRT Station (T1-T3)

RIP Paul; Till we meet again.

The oldest Hindu Temple in Singapore is the Sri Mariamman Temple on South Bridge Road, in the Chinatown district. It's famous for the annual firewalking festival and the daily poojas. More low-key and intimate is the Archanai, a personal pooja performed by priests to bestow the blessings of the goddess, Mariamman, on the devotee.

Entry is free, but footwear is not permitted inside. The temple provides shoe racks outside.

In the heart of the downtown core of Singapore is an open field where many historical events took place as Singapore bloomed from British Colony into the vibrant, thriving, independent city-state that it is today. It's big enough to accommodate five football fields, and there's a public path through the middle that's always open. I went to the middle of the path to record the sound of a site that is up for consideration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site

699816 Things That Go Bump in the Night

Tue, 24 Jan 2023 16:00:00 +0000

Asian horror films like Ringgu, The Eye and Shutter revolutionized the genre, with Hollywood studios remaking these classics for English audiences. One common trope is cemeteries, which made me think: what does an actual Asian cemetery sound like? I went over to the cemeteries at Chua Chu Kang at midnight... and managed to come back out with a tale that will chill you to the bone!

The landmark of the historic Kampong Glam Malay Heritage District is Sultan Mosque that dates back to 1824. It was the first mosque in the world to use a microphone & loudspeaker system to amplify the recital, and because of its historical and cultural importance, the mosque was gazetted as a national monument in 1975. This episode features Fajr, the first call to prayer of the day, recorded on a Sunday morning from outside the main entrance at 3 Muscat Street

498991 On Silver Wings

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 16:00:00 +0000

In 2019, Changi Airport handled over 1,000 flights a day, which meant a take off or landing every 83 seconds. Then the pandemic took a heavy toll on the aviation industry, and Changi was reduced that to just 80 flights a flight, many of those carrying cargo. Air traffic is now back to 2/3 of what it was and climbing, and I head out to record the engine's roar at lift-off from the flight path from Runway 1.

Not all ice is frozen equally - solid carbon dioxide, aka Dry Ice, sublimes in air straight from solid to gas, which makes it critical in transporting anything that needs to stay cold. It also sounds insanely cool when you put a block in a bowl and pour water all over it

238859 Singapore in Mono Stereo Binaural

Wed, 16 Nov 2022 16:00:00 +0000

I visited several places in Singapore to record the same place using 3 different spatial techniques - mono, stereo and binaural. Use headphones for this episode, cos the binaural effect only works with headphones. The set-ups were a X-Y config for a Sony PCM-D10 (that gave mono-compatible X-Y stereo that I could get a mono sound as well as a X-Y stereo) and a 3Dio FreeSpace Pro II for exceptional binaural with its DPA 4060 omni capsules. The only thing I did was roll off the low end rumble (100Hz and below) and match the levels

Ella Spira is a Grammy-nominated British composer, artist and co-founder of production company Sisters Grimm.

The paintings are accompanied by photographs taken by Singaporean photographer Rebecca Toh and an evocative score composed by Spira. This score features Singaporean cellist Olivia Chuang and incorporates the sound of Rebecca’s Leica M10 camera click as well as the sound of Singapore thunder storms.

As soon as you reach the waterline, with the bubbly surf lapping at your feet, the sense of space is amazing. Alas, you also become aware of a sinister sound that pierces the delightful tranquility.

619230 Asian Koel aka Uwu Bird

Wed, 19 Oct 2022 16:00:00 +0000

It's the bird that everyone hates, because of its annoying call: the Asian Koel starts calling for a mate from as early as 5am, and it's wail has been described as u-wu / oo-oh / ooh-whoo: whichever way you spell it, Singaporeans aren't fans, and some 600 call NParks to complain every year. But did you know that the Asian Koel does do one thing that we should love it for?

But go behind and into the alleyway behind, and you'll come face to face with an army of air-conditioning compressors: noisy, hot and electricity hungry beasts.

160022 Aquarium Tanks

Fri, 07 Oct 2022 09:24:49 +0000

When I lowered a hydrophonic microphone into a 40 litre office aquarium tank to listen to what the fishes are hearing, I was expecting the kind of soundscape that I'd heard on films like The Abyss and Sphere. What I heard was *nothing* like what I expected. What might also surprise you, is the special relationship that ornamental fish, like goldfish, koi and guppies, have with Singapore.

179434 The Treasury

Wed, 28 Sep 2022 16:00:00 +0000

Singapore is a financial centre in Asia that handles a phenomenal amount of money every day, but it's still cash that makes the heart sing cha-ching! I bought a note counting machine off Carousell and recorded the heck out of it as it counted S$1k in the form of 20 x S$50 bills.

Long term investors know that a diversified portfolio makes sense, but a LOT of people still have readily available cash, and scammers are targeting Singaporeans via sophisticated schemes that rely on tricking victims into sending money electronically overseas, where it's impossible to get back.

Once bitten, Twice Shy - and cash again becomes King, to be squirrelled away at home in hiding spaces, only to come out once in a while to be counted.

298637 Bukit Brown Cemetery

Fri, 23 Sep 2022 06:11:18 +0000

This season, I'm looking for quiet spaces in Singapore, a city state with limited land that has to balance progress with preservation of green spaces. This episode, I'm at Bukit Brown Cemetery, a public Chinese cemetery established in the early 20th century but now considered abandoned.

The 213-acre (0.86 km2) site at Bukit Brown was opened on 1 January 1922 as a cemetery and was managed as a public burial ground by a committee led by committee leaders Tan Kheam Hock and See Tiong Wah–who was at that time comprador of the Hong Kong Bank. In the next few decades, this area will be redeveloped into housing.
