Personal Work
Original works beyond the screen. Including concert music, independent projects, and exploratory compositions.
LIGO's Ear
Music of Line Series No. 2
Flute and Guitar Duo 2018
A chamber work inspired by gravitational waves and the motion of cosmic events.
The composition turns wave behavior into musical form: expansion and compression shape the pacing, while the flute and guitar alternate between resonance, friction, and convergence.
Rather than illustrating science literally, the work uses instrumental interaction to suggest energy in motion.
Crypto Waves
Music of Lines Series NO. 1
A String Quartet 2017
An original work inspired by the volatility and constant motion of digital markets.
Rather than using finance as narrative subject matter, the piece translates patterns of fluctuation into musical form through pulse, contrast, and shifting momentum.
The result moves between compression and release, creating a sonic field shaped by instability rather than certainty.
Orphanage
Resonance of the Unremembered: An Art Song for the Forgotten
Orphanage
Federico García Lorca
(1898 - 1936)
And the poor stars,
Those that have no light,
are abandoned on a blurry blue.
What pain, what suffering!
Huaka'i Maui (Maui Trip)
Harmonies of Existence
Maui Trip: A Musical Reflection of My Hawaiian Journey
Composed after a family trip to Maui in November 2016, this piece grew out of a period of personal and creative transition, following Yu Shi’s departure from investment banking.
The music reflects the atmosphere of the island, spacious, calm, and gently restorative, and captures a brief but meaningful moment of renewal.
Wappapello Lake
Melodies Across the Waters
Wappapello Lake: Echoes of a Missouri Kayaking Odyssey
Original Work · 2017
Composed after a kayaking trip on Wappapello Lake in Missouri, this piece reflects the changing rhythm of movement on the water.
The crossing wakes of passing racing boats created sudden shifts in balance and motion, which became the basis for the work’s dynamic pulse and flowing energy.
