Yilin Wang is a composer, multimedia artist, pianist, and sound designer whose creative practice is shaped by more than a decade of professional experience in audio production. Before pursuing composition, she worked as a senior recording engineer at Hunan Broadcasting and Television Station in China, specializing in multichannel recording and mixing, spatial audio, radio drama, documentary sound, and live music production.

​

Her work explores how music communicates through sound, perception, and experience, with particular interests in timbre, resonance, gesture, and spatial listening. Often inspired by images, memories, emotions, or ideas, she uses these sonic elements to shape the expressive world of each piece. Her practice ranges from acoustic composition to electroacoustic and multimedia work, including real-time visual systems in which sound and image function together as expressive materials.

​

Wang holds an MA in Music Technology from the University of York and an MMus in Composition with a specialization in Music Cognition from Western University. She is currently pursuing a DMA in Music Composition at the University of Missouri–Kansas City Conservatory. Her recent works include Noctiluce | Neon, Echo of Gamelan, Pneuma, Moon and Star, The Echo, and Ink Drifts, Time Slips.

​

Her work has been recognized and presented through the Canadian Electroacoustic Community’s Jeu de temps / Times Play (JTTP), American Wild Ensemble, Compocon, LunART Festival Composers Hub, Arraymusic Composer Workshop, Tuckamore Festival, and UNESCO City to City PLAY!.
