Performances, Projects and Research

This archive traces my work across composition, performance, research, teaching and collaboration. It brings together premieres and subsequent performances, residencies, talks, publications and projects developed with musicians and artists across disciplines.

Recent and Upcoming

Dayung Mimi for piano and winds
Premiere scheduled for November 2026 — Ensemble Ten Ten
ACL-Korea New Music Concert Series, Prugio Art Hall, Seoul

Dayung Mimi takes the circulating melody associated with Dayung Sampan and Tian Mi Mi as the starting point for an exploration of musical recognition. Canonic time shifts, transposition and the redistribution of melodic fragments across instruments allow the tune to emerge, become obscured and return in changing forms. The work asks how a melody retains—or changes—its identity as its parts shift through different musical contexts.

Veiling Time Shift Laboratory
Multidisciplinary work for viola, guqin and immersive haptic-visual environment — 28–29 August 2026
With Christoven Tan (composer-performer) and Yeo Ker Siang (immersive environment design)
Asian Civilisations Museum, Singapore

Veiling Time Shift Laboratory explores a cycle in which a performer’s movement generates visual material that another performer interprets in making music. The interactive system, MIMI, responds to movement rather than sound. The project investigates how gesture, visual mediation and interpretation reshape the relationships between performers, and how audiences experience the resulting interplay of movement, image and sound.

 

演出、项目与研究

本档案记录我在作曲、演奏、研究、教学与合作创作方面的实践,包括首演与后续演出、驻留、讲座、出版成果,以及与不同领域音乐家和艺术家共同发展的项目。

近期与即将举行

Dayung Mimi,为钢琴与管乐而作
计划于2026年11月首演——Ensemble Ten Ten
ACL-Korea 新音乐系列音乐会,首尔 Prugio Art Hall

Dayung Mimi 以流传于 Dayung Sampan 与《甜蜜蜜》之间的旋律为起点,探索我们如何辨认一段音乐。通过卡农式的时间错位、移调,以及旋律片段在不同乐器之间的重新分配,曲调时而浮现,时而隐去,又以变化的形态返回。作品由此追问:当旋律的各个部分在不同音乐语境中转换时,它如何保有或改变自身的身份?

Veiling Time Shift Laboratory
为中提琴、古琴与沉浸式触觉—视觉环境而作的跨学科作品——2026年8月28至29日
合作:Christoven Tan(作曲家、演奏者)、Yeo Ker Siang(沉浸式环境设计)
新加坡亚洲文明博物馆

Veiling Time Shift Laboratory 探索一个循环过程:演奏者的动作生成视觉材料,另一位演奏者再通过解读这些材料展开音乐实践。互动系统 MIMI 对动作作出反应,而非对声音作出反应。项目探讨手势、视觉中介与诠释如何重新塑造演奏者之间的关系,以及观众如何体验动作、影像与声音之间的相互作用。
