Introduction

Pau-dull's songs have been sung in aboriginal communities around the east cost of Taiwan for close to twenty years, but it wasn't until 2000 that he burst into mainstream public consciousness, when his first album Ocean won the Golden Melody Award. Soon afterwards, he moved to Orchid Island, a small island southeast of the main island of Taiwan. This island, with only a small population of indigenous people of the Tao Tribe living simple lives, is about as remote from the hustle and bustle of Taiwan's big cities as it is possible to be. Here Pau-dull could play his guitar with only the ocean waves and the cries of gulls as accompaniment. When he was asked by several directors to write soundtracks for their films, he obliged by writing and arranging instrumental music pieces all on his own, just using his guitar, pan flute and accordion, and recording it himself with simple recording equipment in his home on Orchid Island. The results are as simple and beautiful as the environment they were recorded in. As accompaniment to film, Pau-dull’s music was a perfect accompaniment, and it surely played a role in convincing the judges at the 2005 Venice Film Festival to select Small Station as Best Short Film and in Chronicle of the Sea, Nan-Fang-Ao’s success at the 41st Golden Horse Awards. But the music stands alone just as well, evoking the pure, natural ambiance of Orchid Island as well as the contentment the sailor feels as he returns home after a long time at sea. In it you can hear the sound of the ocean and the cries of the sea gulls as it takes you away from your busy life to a more peaceful place across the sea.
