Despite being a gamelan, we never played traditional Indonesian music. All of
our music was written by members of the band and influenced by both East and
West. Each piece of music had at least two difficulty levels so members of varying
musical abilities could participate. We had a large repertoire; from very
short pieces to longer performances including street
theatre,and two concertos.
Over more than 17 years the band developed a huge range of music to draw from.
"Compulsive Afronesia", by Dave Nelson, is a lively piece which combines gamelan sounds with jazz and samba. To download it in mp3 format, click the button at the left. This is one of the tracks on our CD, "Playing Up".
