Winter Sketches depicts two pictures of the winter: the quite snow scene and the running squirrels on the snowy grass.
I was inspired by Chinese contemporary Artist Guanzhong Wu’s three paintings and therefore composed the three movements in the suite: 1. Bird Calls in the Empty Mountain; 2. A Foggy Stream; 3. The Great Wall. I tried to express my impression of the three paintings in my music.
Letters is a three-movement composition for solo cello. Its three movements depict different feelings I go through in a relationship: sketch of the first encounter, the anxiety in the relationship, and the sweetness of love.
Waves was composed in 2020, for two percussionists and fixed media.
This composition portrays my heart beats goes with the waves of the sea, floating in the dark. In this work, I only wanted to depict a simple mood of stillness of mine.
Dreams in River was composed in 2023 for percussions, string quartet, and Chinese instrument Qudi.
The piece can be heard with many imaginations. Just feel and think it as whatever to your mind, just like dreams.
