NOTES

This recording is the product of a remarkable intercultural musical experiment. It contains five strikingly varied works, each one the fruit of musical cross-pollination between America and the island of Bali. The three American composers represented here-Evan Ziporyn, Michael Tenzer and Wayne Vitale, along with their peers in the Sekar Jaya ensemble-have, since 1979, devoted an extraordinary amount of effort, intelligence, and talent to the study and performance of traditional Balinese music. Their creative endeavors elude classification in cultural pigeonholes. Kekembangan recorded August 3, 1990 at the Cowell Theatre, San Francisco, California. Banyuari recorded July 9, 1992 at Homestay Ketut Madra, Peliatan, Bali. Aneh Tapi Nyata recorded July 13, 1992 at Televisi Republik Indonesia. Situ Banda recorded July 10, 1991 at Radio Republik Indonesia, Denpasar. Khayalan Tiga recorded September 20, 1991 in the village temple, Perean, Bali.
