Synopsis

Album Description
"Wonderfully fragile, childlike recordings: beginner's mind or luck, backed by a fierce determination not to produce anything remotely resembling traditional Indonesian music." - THE WIRE Metal Notes resuscitates a long-lost, decades-old cassette only release by the great New York collective Gamelan Son of Lion and brings to the fore the incredible metallic drones of a group whose innovative minimal music has rightfully earned them a place among the likes of La Monte Young, Tony Conrad, Steve Reich & Charlemagne Palestine - to name a few. At almost 80 minutes, this collection of eight songs is nothing if not totally spellbinding & hypnotic. Features founding members Barbara Benary (early collab w/ Philip Glass), Fluxus pioneer Philip Corner, David Demnitz, Daniel Goode, Peter Griggs, Michael Byron, and half a dozen other composer/performers.
