I have also written a gamelan piece for my recital! It was actually premiered at FatCat (venue in the west village) on May 5th, which was very exciting. I wrote this piece during the Spring Break and it turned out to sound better than I expected, thanks to my friends who agreed to perform it! It’s called Meditasi terganggu which means disturbed meditation. To me, gamelan is very meditative so it was obvious that I’d write something mellow.

Here is the recital recording of it! –Warning: the video recorder fell towards the end of the piece so you will hear the music but not see the performance for a little it—
