058793 Pooja at Sri Mariamman Temple
Listen to the mesmerizing soundtrack of a pooja, as a nadaswaram (long horn) and thavil (double-sided drum) add syncopated beats, drifting tempos and intricate phrases to the ringing bell as devotees seek the blessing of the Goddess Mariamman at the oldest Hindu Temple in Singapore. The Sri Mariamman Temple was completed in 1827, just 4 years shy of 2 centuries. Entry is free, but be mindful that
179861 The Padang
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
049178 Yum Seng
One of my favourite highlights at a Chinese Wedding Reception in Singapore is the Yum Seng, a toast to the newlyweds where going LOUD and LONG is great. If you've never been to a Chinese Wedding Reception, I'll give you a 3-item checklist on what you need to bring. Special thanks to Brendan and Junita for letting me record their Yun Seng, and to Jon Tee, the emcee who organised getting me into th
599938 Bukit Timah Railway Station
Has the search for the perfect sound spa for the ears finally found a winner? I visit Bukit Timah Railway Station, part of the Rail Corridor, and if you walk 500m from the road, you'll find yourself in tropical forest, teeming with activity, yet also soothing and peaceful.

169879 Pearl's Hill City Park
I explore a park that's right in the city, with a major expressway running along its western perimeter. It would seem a foregone conclusion that traffic noise bleeds into the park, and while that does happen, you don't notice it as much after a few minutes, because it's an oasis the the middle of downtown busyness. Listen as we wander around Pearl's Hill City Park Pearl's Hill City Park - NParks P
479266 Bedok Reservoir
Singapore has Four National Taps when it comes to water sources, and the cheapest is local catchment water, i.e. natural rainfall. Rain water is carefully diverted into the reservoirs around Singapore, and in the east, the biggest is at Bedok Reservoir. With a maximum depth of 18m and a shoreline of 4.3km, it's capable of holding 12.8 million m³ of water. It also holds dark secrets... *Trigger War
179618 Fort Gate
Covering 18 hectares in the heart of the downtown core, Fort Canning Park is an unlikely candidate for a quiet spot to relax, but the trees do an admirable job of blocking traffic noise. While wandering in the area behind Fort Canning Centre, I had a fortuitous meeting with a stranger who shared a secret of where to find an oasis in the city.
