Recordings found in a private collection stemming from a failed attempt at creating an indigenous market for gamelan music in 1928.

by Evan Ziporyn

New music isn't easy, but Bang on a Can member Evan Ziporyn has a very light touch in these four compositions, especially "Drill," which often seems to float on squirming little wiggles of melody, with Ziporyn himself playing bass clarinet. The moods among the four pieces here vary tremendously -- "The Ornate Zither and the Nomad Flute," for ...

This compilation of sounds spans the majority of the gamelan-based sub-genres within the space of a single disc.
