Collection: Digital Series, Gamelan of Central Java
The content of the present CD is very much connected with ‘Gamelan of Central Java. 15 – Returning Minimalism: In Nem’. This previously released CD presented three of a number of sessions (seven) inspired by Terry Riley’s landmark of minimalism – ‘In C’ – and performed by an 8-member group of outstanding Javanese musicians.
