01 Asagiri
Composition work
When listening to this piece, you can imagine yourself strolling through a mist-covered forest just before dawn. Two modulations signal shifts in the colors of the sky and the surrounding scenery. This composition blends elements of both instrumental and electronic music, incorporating instruments including Vibraphone, Glockenspiel, Piano, Strings, Bassoon, Drums, and electronic instruments like Chord Synthesizers and Experimental Sounds. This piece was performed in Nov.2023 for Emory music department composition showcase.
02 Cetacean
Composition work
This piece is composed in 2024, for Harp, Guitar, Organ, Synthesizers, uses recording techniques- Foley Sound, and mixed via Logic Pro.
​
This piece creates a contrast between what’s happening above the water and beneath it.
In the first half, representing the “above water” section, a foundational harp melody is gradually built upon by adding new instruments and harmonies layer by layer. In Logic Pro, as each sound region and track stacks up, it forms a triangular structure—what I like to call my “triangle composition method.”
As the sound effects intensify to signal entering the water, the second half shifts “underwater,” introducing electric guitar and different reverberation effects to evoke the ocean floor's deep, weighty atmosphere. One of the most intriguing features is the whale-like sound produced through synth and mixing effects.
