about

This limited edition, cassette-only release is a compilation of recordings from our past 5 years as a band! Each of our live performances are vastly different from one to the next as we continually experiment with gamelan, electronics, and the resulting compositional possibilities. This cassette serves as a lo-fi document of these wildly unique performances, including our collaborations with traditional Gamelan group Merdu Kumala, experimental multi-instrumentalist Arrington de Dionyso, and Balinese virtuoso Danika Pryatna. Our personal favorite on this release is a excerpt taken during our performance residency at LAX Airport where our wild bronze-synth noise collides with the soundscape of Tom Bradley International Terminal.

The tape is 66 minutes long total with 6 tracks. This cassette release is imited to an edition of 25.

We will not be publishing these recordings online. The only way to hear this gamelan and electronics gold is by obtaining this special music object yourself.
