I created several drawings based on the architecture and experience of Hart House, and developed the drawings ino experimental musical scores. I had no previous experience with music composition or piano performance.

The scores including Song for the First Floor, Song for Table Ornament, Song for a Game of Pool, and Song for Snow - were installed in the Music Room of Hart House, and they were† interpreted and performed by three pianists, Lyn Tieu, Gavin Ouyang, and Mimi Mok.
