Gong moves fluidly between academic computer-music contexts, experimental composition, interactive sound systems, and music-technology environments, treating each as a continuous extension of compositional practice. Within these settings, he often composes by designing systems that define relationships and behaviors rather than relying on fixed scores alone. He has used environments such as SuperCollider to rearticulate classical techniques like fugue through algorithmic form, and to translate culturally specific musical materials, including elements drawn from Northern Chinese folk and narrative traditions, into electronic and system-based works. Across these projects, diverse musical languages are approached not as stylistic identity, but as compositional material shaped through structure, process, and transformation.
