Jonathan Besser: Campusari
Cd
About
Campursari takes its title from an Indonesian musical term used to describe music that combines Western and gamelan instruments. While Jonathan Besser has worked frequently with gamelan, this is the first time he has written specifically for them, rather than using them (as has been his practice over the years) in improvisational settings.
