She has since collaborated with Alvin Curran, Fred Frith, Carla Kihlstedt, Joelle Leandre, Meredith Monk, Ikue Mori, Pauline Oliveros, Kazue Sawai, Elliott Sharp, Cecil Taylor and many others.

Her first CD for Tzadik presents a variety of pieces for ensembles, including a fabulous composition for percussion and Chinese traditional instruments and several solo pieces for piano, percussion and guzheng. Soulful, lyrical and powerful music from this remarkable young composer/performer from Beijing!
