All of my musical pieces are born in the spontaneity of the moment by improvisation. I let my fingers and notes express thoughts that words can never amount to.
With a focus on evoking a sense of place and emotion, I aim to transport listeners to realms shaped by their own imagination of the emotional landscapes my music paints. I envision my compositions as cinematic vignettes, each song with its distinct narrative.
SOUNDSCAPE
Composed with Ableton LiveSELF COMPOSITION
Composed and recorded on Yamaha ClavinovaDIGITAL INSTRUMENTS
The focus of this project was to challenge conventional definitions of instruments and explore musical computer-human interactions. Drawing inspiration from innovative creations like mi-miu gloves, I created digital instruments that integrate the human body into the process of sound creation.
Using custom hardware, pure data, and python, I reimagined appearances of instruments such as an organ and pianos by juxtaposing traditional tones with a modern and scientifically inspired design.

︎︎︎Leap Motion Harp
Electronic harp that uses leap motion to track user’s hand passion and motion (e.g. clapping). Sound is produced if user’s hand crosses the threshold of the z in the xyz plane
