Booklet
Gamelan Pictures at an Exhibition on Philip’s Corner
The brilliant idea by John Noise Manis (aka Giovanni Sciarrino) to organize this selection of “samples” from my gamelan-inspired musics following the order of Moussorgsky’s famous sound-picture gallery, makes particular sense here. Just as the original “Pictures at an Exhibition” makes sense of a variety of disparate sketches by turning them into an organic whole, here the all-too-evident singularities of the compositions chosen demonstrate how, on the basis of a unique and simple technical procedure, an extremely wide range of sound-possibilities may be made manifest.
