盧森堡藝術家森姆．厄佩丁（Sam Erpelding）自2025年12月初，在台北C-LAB臺灣聲響實驗室駐村期間，以生態聲學與電腦音樂為核心，持續推進其博士研究，踏查陽明山國家公園、阿里山圓潭生態園區，以及高雄附近的雙溪熱帶樹木園等地的聲景。這些田野錄音行程是和台北市蝙蝠保育學會及中央研究院合作進行。他持續藉此創作多件沉浸式電聲作品，讓人能聽到這些脆弱環境中細微、甚至人耳難以察覺的聲音。本次發表會將呈現藝術家基於上述素材創作的作品，以及與臺灣傳統器樂演奏家合作的作品，並舉辦藝術家座談。

Whisperings from Uncle Butterfly & The Unheard Spells of Biān-Fú: Compositions of Taiwanese Wild Soundscapes
Presentation by Sam Erpelding (artist in residence)
Time: 19:00, December 13, 2025
Venue: Spatial Audio Field (C-LAB Taiwan Sound Lab)
During his artist residency at C-LAB Taiwan Sound Lab since early December, 2025, the Luxembourgeois artist Sam Erpelding furthered his doctoral research in ecoacoustics and computer music, investigating the soundscapes of Yangmingshan National Park, Yuantan Natural Eco-Park in Alishan and Shuangxi Tropical Arboretum near Kaohsiung. These excursions were conducted in collaboration with the Bat Conservation Society of Taipei and Academica Sinica Taiwan. Several immersive electroacoustic compositions were and are being created to make subtle nuances and inaudible voices of these fragile soundscapes perceptible to our human ears. This presentation features works based on the aforementioned materials, works developed with traditional musicians from Taiwan, and artist talk.
