Select and play. Some pieces use traditional gamelan instruments, while others employ a much wider range of instrumentation. The selections are either performed live or realised in software. Topeng Keras is an arrangement of
traditional Balinese music on Javanese instruments. Enjoy.

Luminous Gamelan focus primarily on new music works. A great deal of it's repertoire has centered around compositions by Jon Keliehor whose interests integrate a wide variety of ideas from contemporary and traditional based music.
Before he began working directly with gamelan ensembles in the
USA and UK, references to Indonesian music began to emerge in compositions for London Contemporary Dance Theatre between 1971-1985.
In 1988, he started to write directly for gamelan instruments with Gamelan Pacifica in Seattle. Currently
he works with the ensemble Gamelan Naga Mas in Scotland
Keliehor's music focuses on world percussion. It is contemporary, and continues to
develop in surprising and unpredictable ways.

These pieces are evolving and may change from time to time. The music is interpretive and explorative, unique to the composers interests and shouldn't be regarded as 'authentically' Indonesian. Scores are available. Unless indicated all compositions or arrangements by Jon Keliehor © 1998-201 |
