Inspired by the traditional music of
Indonesia, as well as its contemporary experimental scenes, Gong Gaada
is a Los Angeles-based trio exploring a hybrid form of gamelan with
electronics. Utilizing reyong (the arrays of metal gongs used in Balinese
gamelan), suling (bamboo flute), and modular synthesizer, the group lays
out familiar and creative patterns as a matrix for departure. The analog
electronics pick up and process the acoustic drama in real-time, the
modular output augmenting their sounds with newfound harmonics
and psychedelic flitter. Groove intact, noise rips and punctuates in step
with the hypnotic rhythms of their struck metal attack.
