Recorded at the famed Wiswakarma Museum in Bali, Gamelan Yowana Sari's self-titled debut is much more than just a sonic exploration of a musical tradition that is beloved worldwide. While the location provided a wealth of inspiration and deep connection for the musicians — all of whom, under the guidance of GYS founder Michael Lipsey and co-directors Fred Trumpy and Ruka Shironishi, are students, alumni, and community patrons of the Aaron Copland School of Music at CUNY Queens College — what makes this album doubly compelling is the expansive range of the music.
