PETER EDWARDS, presenter

PROGRAMME
Irama Mabuk is a composition for 25 almglocken I completed in 2018, which will receive its world premiere at the Sounding Now Festival on 17 April 2020. This presentation looks at the background of the work, the way in which irama in central Javanese gamelan is projected in the composition, and the compositional strategy used to make it mabuk – meaning drunk.
