Hear some traditional and pop music from Indonesia, and the music it’s inspired on this New Sounds program. Dip into music by the Canadian-based contemporary gamelan group the Evergreen Club, along with some rare cuts by E. Koestyara and Group Gapura. Plus, listen to the singer Idjah Hadidjah, as accompanied by hand drums, gongs, and mallet instruments, from a Nonesuch Explorer CD. There’s also music that makes liberal use of gamelan orchestra by Lou Harrison, Evan Ziporyn, Patrick Grant, and more.

russ schleipman from NYC

I heard a wonderful piece of Gamelan inspired music around 11:30 on Sunday night, Dec 9th. It reminded me of Tubular Bells, and /or thje Exorcist soundtrack.

I'd love to identify the piece.

Thanks
