Composition Workshop: Music for Gamelan instruments
Tuesday 2 June, 12-2pm and 4-6pm
Recital Hall, Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities, Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, Woodstock Road, Oxford OX2 6GG
Musicians from Hammer & Bronze (contemporary gamelan ensemble) will workshop seven new pieces for Javanese gamelan instruments written by Master’s composition students from the Faculty of Music. Professor Martyn Harry will convene the workshops, examining the process behind writing for instruments from another tradition with a different tuning system, and in some cases combining them with European instruments or electronics.
With Rob Campion (bonang, gendèrs), Zack Di Lello (bonang, slenthem, saron, gongs), Isabelle Carré (bonangs, peking, flute, contrabass flute), Tom Bruges (guitar). In collaboration with the Bate Collection of Musical Instruments.
