Sample excerpt

Nadie toca solo aquí, ni siquiera es posible: la melodía está repartida entre veinte manos. Si uno falla, la frase se rompe entera, y por eso nadie falla dos veces.

Entre todos suena lo que ninguno puede, así se hicieron los templos y las casas. La música también enseña que hay cosas que no son de una persona.

Workshop noteImpersonal, presente, comunitaria. El gamelán reparte la melodía en técnica entrelazada: la letra debe hablar de interdependencia. A 100 BPM la voz entra en bloques cortos entre ciclos, nunca encima del gong.
