Hi, I’m Cheng, a composer, sound artist, and sound designer.
My background bridges the precision of design-driven output with the open-ended experimentation of the contemporary art scene. Cooking within this spectrum allows me to create audio that not only shapes an identity but also invites deeper, often unexpected listening experiences.
