Gamelan Shokbreker
London Jazz Festival 2006 [no label, 1CD]
Live at the Union Chapel, London, November 11, 2006.

What happens when Norwegian free jazz meets Indonesian gamelan? The result, though decidedly more gamelan than free jazz, is a cross-cultural experience that is simply captivating.

Gamelan is an ancient and beautiful form of orchestral music that has long been a source of inspiration to artists in the West, including Steve Reich, Philip Glass and Brian Eno. Its fluid rhythms and intriguing shapes reveal surprising parallels with the minimalist beats and ambient sounds of Nordic contemporary jazz and electronica, as profiled by the likes of Nils Petter Molvær and Bugge Wesseltoft.

Performers at this concert included 10 gamelan musicians from the acclaimed SambaSunda orchestra led by Ismet Ruchimat, including mesmerizing young vocalist Rita Tila, and from Norway, Patrick Shaw Iversen, DJ Strangefruit (aka Paal Nyhus), Steinar Værnes and Peter Baden.

Ismet Ruchimat and his gamelan ensemble are very much in demand and have toured throughout Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, China, America and Europe, performing with Hariprassad, Chaurassian and Trilok Gurtu among others. Ismet is also a highly sought-after composer and teaches at the College of Traditional Music in Bandung/Java.

Patrick Shaw Iversen has worked with Sidsel Endresen, Arild Andersen, Bugge Wesseltoft and Nils Petter Molvær among others. He has toured throughout the world and has previously collaborated with Ismet Ruchimat in Norway and in Indonesia.
