My interest in constructing sound elements by imitating the development of hieroglyph, oracle bone script, and pictophonetic characters in the ancient Chinese etymology. The newly constructed "sound words" become living organisms that move, live, prosper, decay, and die.

"Drifting Moon," written for Grafenegg Festival Ink Still Wet and the Tonkunstler Orchestra is no exception to this aesthetic research path. All the sounds are constructed attribute to the movement and the sound of riding traditional Chinese flatboat on the river. And these sound materials tell a story: "If Dharma is the boat we ride on to pass the river of life, we won't need it when we get ashore. Though before we might have a chance to get ashore, we see the moon drifting with the wrecked ships, centuries after centuries."

HÁO 豪||毫 (2022) - for Ensemble

Fay(tr)/fault; A fault is a fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock. Faults allow the blocks to move relative to each other. This movement may occur rapidly, in the form of an earthquake - or may occur slowly, in the form of creep. Most faults produce repeated displacements over geologic time.
The aim of this piece is mainly create polyphonic texture with a solo instrument. The main material has explored in the piece with it’s inharmonicity and the textural and rhythmical aspect of it’s granular quality.
