Pitamaha
was recorded on location at various parts of the island
of Bali. The Gamelan groups were recorded by David
Baker, one of the foremost engineers in chamber music
ranging from Grammy winning jazz CDs, to classical and folk
music.
This CD is an attempt to offer the listener a totally non-scholarly
approach to some of the music of Bali. Here you find no
explanations of modes, notation, or rhythms. The music contained
within the disk is a good example of what one might find
if they were ambling about the countryside on any given
day.
