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.
