Premiere: Milan Hibser, organist "Orguljaske veceri u pozeskoj Katedrali"Organ Evenings at Pozega Cathedral," Croatia. (October 11st, 2018)
Traversing is my imaginative process when an object passes through space and time approaching the speed of light, and subsequently everything around would appear to be distorted and time will even be slowed down. Thus, the music describes the conjectural process by means of various techniques such as juxtaposition of different repetitive diatonic materials in different rhythmic parameters simultaneously in the first section, contributing to an interesting totality of sound effects, and yet, this section shows minimalistic influences. The central section displays substantial contrasts, reflecting time is in a suspended manner. The last section exhibits the superimposition of the sparse chromatic materials with the repetitive scalar materials in which they transform continuously. The music ends in an extreme high register.

Traversing 穿越 (2018) for organ (excerpt)

Premiere: UNT Trombone Consortium; conductor, Tony Baker. UNT Ensemble Recital. Voertman Hall, University of Northern Texas, United States. (March 27th, 2019)
Dilating is a scientific phenomenon in which space and time dilate when approaching the speed of light. The music is delineated into three parts, in which the first and last parts share resemblance in terms of gestures and styles—minimalistic texture dominates where each line interweaves with each other and displays repetitive figuration in association with rhythmic variance and transformation. The middle part displays substantial contrasts in character in which sustained and long notes characterize the texture for generating meditative atmosphere. The whole piece begins with a single pitch, and it gradually unfolds by means of addition of different pitches, interacting with other layers for generating different tone colors. The music again ends with the single pitch E, fading away mysteriously and unnoticeably.

Dilating (2018) for trombone choir (excerpt)

Moody and mysterious with a nostalgic UK Garage, track blends deep, textured sound design with shuffling rhythms and haunting vocal cuts. Built for late-night drives and foggy dancefloors, it balances raw energy with emotional depth, a modern twist on classic garage vibes.
