Xen harmonic
Gamelan
is a Detroit-based sextet that takes a contemporary DIY approach
to gamelan music. Many of the instruments are home made but functional.
The five- seven- and 41-tone tuning systems are the brainchildren
of bandleader, Clem Fortuna.
The music is
inspired as much by gamelan music as it is by minimalism,microtonalism
and contemporary classical. The results are simultaneously relaxing
yet engaging.
