Classically trained in her early years, Law steered her focus towards electroacoustic music composition whilst studying for her master’s degree at Ball State University in the United States. Her doctoral research was on the use of gestures in electroacoustic music, in particular everyday gestures used by musicians and non-musicians alike, which Law manages to incorporate in some of her works by translating gestures into sound and images.
Law was granted the Fulbright Research Scholar Award in 2014 to conduct a 10-month research at the Louisiana Digital Media Centre. The research culminated in the Soft Instruments Project which developed prototypes of electronic music interface custom-made for people with developmental disability, such as down syndrome or pervasive developmental disorders, who are at higher risk of sustaining unintentional injury in music making process.
