His compositions have recently been performed at such venues and occasions as Smith Square Hall (London), Conway Hall (London), O. Festival (Rotterdam), the 20th World Saxophone Congress (Harbin), French May Arts Festival (Hong Kong), and on Radio Television Hong Kong. Commissions have come from individual performers, ensembles, and orchestras across the continents, and his projects have also been funded by the National Lottery Project Grants. His key sources of inspiration include queerness, diaspora experiences, literature, Buddhist philosophy, and Cantonese text-setting.
