Penghu Archipelago ~ Taiwan Strait ~ Taiwan
« Winds of Penghu Archipelago, Winter 2008 »

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A group of volcanic islands located in the Taiwan Strait, swept by violent winds during the Winter time.
Some traditional habitats are - or were - remaining : built with blocks of dried coral, they follow precise rules of Chinese architecture and high level of craftsmanship.
Most of them were destroyed or simply abandoned to the invasive species of vegetation.
The recordings presented here were part of a personal survey of those constructions, which led to a book-CD entitled “Villages, Vestiges” by myself and Wan-Shuen Tsai.
