Pairs (2025 Nov) The exercise starts by looking down: shoes first, always shoes ... guessing who might be inside them. age, job, intention, a small story invented too quickly. Then the guessing softens into observing: who is wearing what, At this moment, in this place? Is there a trace to follow, or only a trend passing through? Sneakers in a performing arts theatre, leather shoes strolling through a park. and when there is a lot to walk— a march, a tourist route, an airport, on a bus... distance insisting on the body— What do they choose then? It turns out it isn’t really about where or when, It’s about who. The attention drops again, from shoes to walking. how they move, how they hesitate. one pair becomes two people, Four shoes negotiating a rhythm. some steps rush, some slow, some soles still stiff and new, others worn into knowing each other for a very long time. on and on it goes. listen to this step Who do you think it is? and then, quietly, These shoes start to remind me of where I was, and where I am now, step by step.

Cumulus (2024) Electroacoustic, Ensemble click to watch Cumulus began as a response to a Chinese ink painting — an attempt to translate into sound the quality of brushwork that moves freely across space, lands where it chooses, and finds meaning in the encounter rather than the plan. The music explores space and freedom: notes that fly, settle briefly against another timbre or colour, hold for a moment, and move again. Like ink on paper, nothing is forced into place. The score was selected by the Atlanta Contemporary Ensemble, who brought their own choreographic and visual collaborators to the work independently. What emerged is a different kind of collaboration — one where each artist contributed their full creative autonomy rather than a shared compromise. The result is a chemistry that only arises when no one is trying to control the whole. Composed by Priscila Chu Visual art by Krista M. Jones Choreography by Frankie Freeman and The Mighty Paul Atlanta Contemporary Ensemble: Charles Gunsaullus – violin, Brittany Ross – viola, Ben Shirley – cello, Gabriel Monticello – bass, Judith Klein – flute, Bora Moon – clarinet, Eric Fontaine – saxophone, Caleb Herron – percussion. Tracy K. Woodard – producer. Commissioned and performed by Atlanta Contemporary Ensemble at Core Dance Studio, Decatur, as part of SoundNOW Festival 2024, Atlanta, US, January 2024. "A fresh-sounding aesthetic... cultivating long, slow combinations of sustained sonorities that microtonally glided and departed with masterful grace. Creating a fresh-sounding aesthetic that aptly reflected the modernity of its related artwork. " — Howard Wershil, EarRelevant, January 2024.

Precisely Otherwise is a three-movement immersive work made for a specific city each time. The first movement watches how the city accelerates. The second movement sits inside what remains slow, a tradition, a ritual, a form of attention not yet optimized away. The third asks what digital efficiency might do with that slowness: not replace it, not preserve it, but think alongside it. Each edition belongs to its place. The series is currently being proposed to contexts in Japan, Taiwan, and China. Development correspondence is welcome via the Collaborate page.

A Dash (2024) Fixed Media/ Visual Click to Watch A Dash is a visual and musical experiment that explores the relationship between image and sound as coequal compositional languages. Created for the Singletary Center Visual Music Festival in the US, the work investigates how visual rhythm and musical structure can be composed together — each shaping and inflecting the other, rather than one serving the other. A Dash (2024) Featured at Visual Music Festival, Singletary Center for the Arts, University of Kentucky, Lexington, US, 2025.

Thinking of you/ Whiskered Pitta (2015) Fixed Media click to watch On Sundays, city parks become gathering spaces for domestic helpers—visible for a moment, yet often unseen in society. This collaboration by Priscila Chu and Man-chun asks: who are they, and what stories do they hold? Through conversations, fragments of lived experiences surfaced, often shared with hesitation. Rather than revealing identities, the artists translate these stories into sound and image. Priscila’s composition draws on the whiskered pitta—a rare, elusive bird from the Philippines—as an analogy. Layering bird-like sonic textures with traces of the helpers’ present environments in Hong Kong, the work moves between concealment and expression. Man-chun’s abstract visuals mirror these dual realities of presence and invisibility. Presented as a performance, the work pays tribute to those who sustain everyday life yet remain overlooked—inviting audiences to listen more closely to what is heard, and what remains just beyond reach.
