This music gives me some kind of peace of mind, it is very delicate and often pleasing. Reminds me of Arvo Pärt. Thank you for sharing. Bernhard schumusik (Bernhard Schumacher)

Seriously one of the very best 'contemporary' gamelan works I've heard. The compositions at times pull you very far from the gamelan idiom to create unexpected textures. I like that the instrumentation links all the pieces together, making this album more than a mere collection of pieces. Laurent Kolam Indah
