Synopsis

Product Description
Composed by new music composer Bill Alves, electric and acoustic guitars join the gongs, percussion, and propulsive rhythms of gamelan orchestras in the premiere recording of the first-ever concerto for re-fretted classical guitar and a collective of gamelan gongs & metallophones featuring Grammy winning classical guitarist John Schneider along with the powerful Los Angeles-based Electric 8 guitar octet, two different California gamelans, and the HMC Electronic Music Ensemble create a combustible combination of acoustic and electric sounds, Eastern and Western music that breaks genre barriers and traverse delicate to wailing, gritty to glowing audio soundscapes.
