Gamelan Concert

I am a little slow on posting about the HMC Gamelan concert I attended over a week ago. On the program - Lou Harrison, John Cage and Bill Alves. Bill teaches at HMC and composes for gamelan (and other instruments), often accompanied by visual media. The second half of the concert showcased one of his newest works.

Here is a video of one technique used in the John Cage work, Haikai, which I found particularly interesting.
