“Minqi’s music bridges worlds — ancient strings, modern beats, and a rare depth of feeling.”— Mary George, Nuneo Entertainment
Latest Release: Ink of Vavine (2026)
Created with Renhe Yang and released through Vavine Sound, the game, film, and sound production studio where Minqi serves as CEO. Across five original tracks, pipa strings, electronic production, and a changing palette of musical influences meet in one shared sound world.
Its title draws on the traces held by tiles, eaves, old dreams, and Eastern visual culture, then follows the echo that remains when sound enters the present. Ink of Vavine does not reproduce a single tradition; it begins with familiar aesthetics to find a sound that belongs to now.
Playable releases and original studio works by Minqi Wang.
