LONG BIO
Oscar Jenkins-Wing (he/him) is a Chinese-Australian composer, sound artist and performer based in Naarm/Melbourne.
His work draws on ecology and the human condition, exploring themes of environment, change, existence and connection through both traditional acoustic and electronic compositions.
Ranging from moments of deep introspection to immense, enveloping textures, Oscar’s concert art music is characterised by an intricate handling of texture and patient unfolding, evident also in the manipulation of musique concrète techniques within his sound art compositions.
Recent major works for 2026 include Mù (木) comissioned by Jasper Ly (oboe) which handles synthesis and growth with reference to the Chinese five elements and The Art of Noticing for orchestra which explores the fusion and de-fusion with unhelpful thoughts. His current major project is a 15-minute song cycle for piano and voice, which comments on a human desire to be amongst natural things and away from tech and screens.
Oscar has contributed original score, sound design, and re-recording mixes to over a dozen short films and ads, and one feature-length documentary.
Oscar was awarded Higher Education Student of the Year after completing a Bachelor of Applied Music (Composition) at Box Hill Institute under Dr Adrian Vincent and Dr Warren Burt. He is currently completing an Honours degree in composition at the University of Melbourne, supervised by A/Prof. Elliot Gyger and Dr Charlie Sdraulig.
He also writes for and performs on keyboards in the band Pardalote, exploring a blend of psych-rock and a Spaghetti-Western film score influence. Oscar co-produced and co-engineered their debut single, Sunstar.
