Recent compositions by Chin draw inspiration from the narratives of film and literature, phonetic structures in text, and the use of idiosyncratic transcription and conversion methods that enable imaginative exploration of pre-existent musics. His works have been performed in South, Central and North America, in Israel, Hong Kong and in Europe by artists like Ensemble Recherche, International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), Ensemble Dal Niente, and others. A Costa Rican native, he earned a DMA in composition at Northwestern University. Chin is co-founder and artistic director of the Fonema Consort and currently teaches at Longy School of Music.
