Notes:
Bill Colvig was a wonderful musician, instrument designer and builder, mountain climber, and collaborator with his life partner Lou Harrison. Like many, I was charmed by Bill's energy, good humor, love of the earth, and his puns. Upon learning of his death last March, I was moved to write an elegy in his honor for gamelan, the same sort of orchestra that he was famous for designing and building.
Recording: Here is an excerpt from the premiere performance by Gamelan Sari Pandhawa.
