This is a supporting paper for the four works, including "Circle", "Shadow", "Inception", and "Boiling", of the author’s composition recital program. The thesis studies the creative ideas and techniques of compositions as well as computer technology applied to the works.

The five chapters of the paper are as follows: the first chapter introduces the motivation and the purpose of the composition, along with a brief history of the development of electronic music. Chapter two presents the main creative ideas of the compositions, exploring new timbres and new modes of performers/ machine interaction and their implementation in composing. The third chapter states how computer techniques, such as tape techniques, synthesis techniques, interaction and real-time processing and others, are used by the composer here. It is attempted to combine music and technology for new sound possibilities and offer them new timbres, new sound gestures, and new sound designs, presenting multifaceted features of modern technology application in music. Chapter four analyzes the four works on a segment-by-segment basis, investigating creative techniques adopted, such as instrumentation, notation, material, structures, and computer techniques. And the fifth chapter is the summary of the paper, accompanying an introspection of the composer herself.
