Shadow Puppet from Strata by Oscilliard

More than any other track this is where the influence of my ten years of gamelan playing can be heard. My arrangement blends processed gamelan instruments gender and trompong with synthesised sounds and brass. The bass parts are from bowed and pizz double bass heavily processed and some more synthesisers. I always had Puja in mind for dancing this piece and was thrilled when she agreed. Top notch solos from Andre Canniere on trumpet and Sam Sharp on sax.

Oscilliard make dance music, or more accurately, music made for dancing. Strata draws upon a global, kaleidoscopic range of dance for inspiration; from Balinese to American Lindy Hop, from medieval steps to cutting loose at a warehouse party, from the height of disco to arabesques at the ballet. The project is led by bassist and composer Justin Foster.
