The Gamelatron — Bukaan
Aside from a pot of steaming high mountain tea, gamelan music may be the best way to wake up in the morning, with all of the shimmering beauty of a “get up!” gong but none of the head-shattering side effects.
As it happens, I stumbled out of bed yesterday to these very sounds, a resonance conjured up not by dozens of human arms, but by those of a laptop-commanded orchestral robot called the Gamelatron, built by sound artist Taylor Kuffner aka Zemi17.
The occasion for this Indonesian wake-up call was a special live performance on Marty McSorley’s show on WFMU…well worth revisiting.
