Bakan Public Radio interview on gamelan musics
I was the guest on Florida Public Radio's call-in show Perspectives, with Mark Simpson, on May 10, 2007. The show (just under an hour in length) dealt with gamelan musics of Indonesia (mainly Bali) and included lots of musical examples: kebyar, Kecak, joged, jegog, enggung, contemporary Balinese pop, Central Javanese court gamelan, plus a piece of my own for scratch turntable soloist and Balinese gamelan (featuring DJ Charles Tremblay with FSU's gamelan group).
For those of you using the book World Music: Traditions and Transformations, there are lots of tie-ins to Chapter 7, musically and otherwise. Having students listen to the interview in conjunction with their study of Chapter 7 would be a good supplementary resource/extra credit opportunity.
You can listen to the archived version of the program by taking the attached link, then clicking on the "Listen Now" button for the "05/10/07--Gamelan Music of Indonesia" program at WFSU-FM's 2007 audio archive page.
