Enigma
in The Veil
(2024)

Enigma in the Veil, completed in 2024, is an electroacoustic piece that explores themes of mystery and abstraction.
 
In this work, sounds flow independently of rhythmic constraints, creating a unique "veil" around the music. Hidden harmonic details within the layers invite the listener into an emotional world concealed behind a shroud of sound.
 
The concept of spectral projection, especially when visualized live during performance, aims to offer an experience that transcends the music itself, drawing the audience into a deeply immersive encounter.

Amorphous (2023)

Amorphous, completed in 2023, is a string quartet that explores the idea of music as a fluid and organic structure, free from a fixed form and in a state of continuous transformation.
 
In this piece, sounds interact through melodic and harmonic motifs that morph into one another without adhering to a defined structure. This interaction creates a wavering, shapeless texture that forms the core of the composition.
 
Amorphous aims to immerse the listener in an ever-evolving and elusive sound world, offering a musical experience unrestricted by fixed perceptions.

An Unquiet Mind (2023)

 performed by  SoundIcon 

An Unquiet Mind, completed in 2023, is an ensemble piece that delves into the turbulent inner world shaped by intense emotional and psychological states.

 

The composition captures the unpredictable swings between moments of stillness and eruptions of energy, reflecting the restless and often chaotic nature of the human mind.

 

Through dynamic contrasts and shifting textures, An Unquiet Mind seeks to immerse the listener in a visceral experience, portraying the tension, vulnerability, and resilience that arise from navigating these internal landscapes.

This composition portfolio showcases
a selection of my recent works, created
with a focus on merging acoustic and
electronic elements through advanced
techniques.


Each piece is an exploration of the
relationships between natural and
synthesized sounds, utilizing AI
tools and custom spectrograms
for harmonic visualization.

These projects represent my creative
process, technical skills, and conceptual
interests in sound and technology.

About Me.

I explore immersive sonic landscapes that balance the familiar and the unknown, where sound and silence converge in subtle tension. My recent works bring acoustic and electronic elements together with innovative real-time visuals like spectral projections, creating multisensory experiences that invite introspection and exploration. Through blending tradition and technology, I continually seek new ways to redefine the role of sound in modern life.

 

Though I began my musical journey later than many, I quickly found my way into composition, driven by a passion for abstract thought and complex structures. With the support of a Fulbright Scholarship, I completed my Master’s in Composition at Boston University, where I broadened my understanding of contemporary music and laid the groundwork for my explorations at the intersection of art and technology.

 

Growing interest in artificial intelligence and neuroscience, I have expanded my approach through advanced studies, including deep learning courses at MIT. These experiences sparked a focus on neural networks and AI-driven music generation, which I now integrate into my creative process. My work reflects a balance of technical expertise and artistic innovation, blending AI-synthesized soundscapes with contemporary techniques that push conventional boundaries.

 

As both a professional composer and academic, I aim to contribute meaningfully to the evolving music landscape, not only through technical mastery but also through thoughtful consideration of art’s philosophical and ethical dimensions in an AI-driven future. I envision my compositions as living, breathing entities—an ongoing dialogue between intuition, logic, and boundless creativity, representing my dedication to exploring and reimagining the world of sound.
