"I grew up believing musical boundaries to be porous, flowing into one another: my father playing chamber music and Gypsy violin, my grandmother's Yiddish chorus, my mother's Folkways collection, plus the radio, open-minded teachers, and my own garage prog-rock excursions. At age 19 I heard Balinese gamelan, I spent long periods there in the 1980s and started my own ensemble, Gamelan Galak Tika, in 1993. These pieces from the last five years live in the margins, between musical traditions -- classical and popular, western and eastern." -- E.Z.

Label:	NEW WORLD RECORDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	NW 80565CD

"Both works on this disc are extended pieces for full Balinese gamelan with various Western instruments. 'Tire Fire' is written for gamelan and electric guitars, while 'Amok' is scored for gamelan and digital sampler. In both pieces, Ziporyn explores the interpretation and blurring of boundaries which result from the interaction between Western technology and a Balinese gamelan. Artists: Gamelan Galak Tika, Robert Black (double bass), Eric Beyers, Mark Stewart (electric guitars), Yukiko Ueno (keyboard), Blake Newman (electric bass)."
