This thesis focuses on my own work Gaze, and discusses how I am influenced by the compositional techniques or conceptual ideas of the composers I researched. I also analyzed my own work Gaze to show how the above-mentioned influences were transformed into the specific techniques and compositional thoughts in the actual music. This thesis consists of four chapters. In the first chapter, I will talk about the research motivations, methods, and purposes of this thesis. In the next chapter, The Compositional Thoughts and Techniques Influencing My Own Work, Gaze, I will analyze two pieces by two composers, Luciano Berio (1925-2003) and Anton Friedrich Wilhelm von Webern (1883-1945), in order to illustrate how the techniques they utilized made an impact on me. Furthermore, I will discuss the two main compositional thoughts in Gaze, the theory of gender performativity proposed by Judith Butler, and the comfort women system in World War II. Then, I will demonstrate the commonality between the two main thoughts in my music composition, Gaze. The third chapter, The Realization and Composition Techniques of My Musical Language, concentrates on how the compositional thoughts and techniques discussed in the previous chapters have become important inspirations for me. And, I will show how I transformed and interpreted the historical event-the comfort women system, and the theory of gender performativity, into my sonic world. In the last chapter, I will elaborate on what I have gained from writing this thesis along with my reflection on it, and tie it back to the motivations and purposes discussed in the first chapter to conclude.
