Pak Ahum with iron and bronze bars
Ir Himinn, Groenn (2013)
for three percussionists and prepared piano
Ir Himinn, Groenn is a piece for three gamelan-type instruments and prepared piano, all tuned in Just Intonation. The instruments were built and tuned by the Sundanese gamelan-maker Dede Ahum.
The piece was premiered by Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, and has been released by the XKatedral label.
Before casting the set in bronze, we made a demo in iron (seen here).
