Larry is a mastering engineer based in Taipei, Taiwan.

​

He's been working in professional audio since the late '90s, long enough to have seen the industry shift in ways most people only read about. His work spans mastering for commercial releases across pop, alternative, acoustic, and soundtrack projects, with artists ranging from major-label acts to independent voices across Asia and beyond.

​

The story begins in 1998, when he and his father Alan started Hsin Yao Recordings together. No shortcuts, no overnight success. Just steady work, honest relationships, and a reputation that grew quietly, one project at a time, within Taiwan's recording world.

During those years, he also handled DDP transfers and quality control for Universal Music UM3, contributing to releases like Carpenters Gold, Bee Gees, and LUNA SEA HDCD projects. Labels he's worked with include Rock Records, Magic Stone, Avex, BMG, Virgin/EMI, Sony, Sound Bridge, Himalaya, and Aurora.

​

When family came first, he stepped back from the studio but stayed close to audio. He moved into product management and R&D with international Tier 1 brands, and that chapter turned out to be its own kind of education. Seeing how early design decisions quietly shape what people actually hear and feel in everyday life.

​

In 2025, he completed a Ph.D. in Medical Neuroscience, with research focused on MRI-based studies of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases including dementia.

 

For someone who has spent decades thinking about how music reaches people, understanding what happens when that capacity slowly fades felt like something worth pursuing.

​

Music, for Larry, has always been a long conversation. He's still in it, still listening, still finding new reasons to care.
