Chasing the Phantom

Released

Alit grew up in Bali, surrounded by gamelan music, and has developed into a composer of fearsome control. His ensemble, Gamelan Salukat, uses specific tunings and bits of percussion I feel like I’ve never heard. These two long compositions go through a wild number of forms and moods, with tons of unexpected developments. A ride along glimmering cobblestones of almost identical but not entirely identical width.
