is my chamber opera, with librettist Catherine Filloux that was presented by the Asia Society, Music From China, the Museum of Chinese in the Americas and Meet the Composer/New Residencies, in the fall of 2001. Inspired by my experiences performing in Anthony Braxton's opera, Trillium R, Shala Fears for the Poor and Henry Threadgills's oratorio Run Silent, Run Deep, this opera is based upon both personal and community history. New World Records released the double-CD of The Floating Box this past April.

Bending Duration, Breathing Distance (erhu, accordion, cello, vibraphone) and Interior Migrations (erhu, viola, pipa, bass clarinet) were through composed works exploring ideas later incorporated into The Floating Box. Both works, along with the opera, were created with the support of Meet the Composer/ New Residencies. Flight of Whispers composed for Music by Homemade Instruments, employs both notation and improvisation.

Unbroken Thread and Wake Up Call were both commissioned by the Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company.

At the rough-cut stage, the director, editor and I develop concepts for the score. Then, with sequencing software, as the editor locks "scenes spotted" for music, music is composed, timed precisely to picture. A demo using sampled sounds is produced for each cue, allowing revisions to be considered before the final recording that employs musicians.

is a poetic documentary film inspired by ideas about Asian American identity developed from my experiences at Basement Workshop, and numerous conversations with my mentor at that time, Will Connell, Jr.
