Various Artists
Recordings found in a private collection stemming from a failed attempt at creating an indigenous market for gamelan music in 1928. The record series from which these recordings came failed miserably, but the performances themselves are quite well-done, and among other things provided inspiration for composer Colin McPhee (whose work is presented ...

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.

This compilation of sounds spans the majority of the gamelan-based sub-genres within the space of a single disc. Both the angklung (lighter-weight orchestras) and gong kebjar (more traditional) styles ...
