Informed by themes of urban change, the human condition and the natural world, his work has been described as ‘deeply Australia-focused’ (Limelight, 2022), while also drawing links to his Chinese heritage.
Characterised by lush textures, rhythmic flair, and a distinct minimalist/maximalist synergy, Oscar’s work has been premiered in leading venues including the Sydney Opera House and the Melbourne Recital Centre.
Most recently in 2025, he was commissioned by Jasper Ly to compose a new work for cor anglais, piano and percussion – scheduled for performance in 2026. Other collaborations with Jasper include the premiere of City Loops at fortyfive downstairs (2023), described by Limelight as ‘setting the scene perfectly’, and its subsequent single release (2025).
Oscar’s screen composition credits include original score and sound design for over a dozen short films, and in 2020 he won Best Original Score for his dark-synth score for the horror short film He Who Walks Among Us in collaboration with Swinburne University.
