Music from Bali

Today I am grateful for music from Bali because I had the great opportunity to perform Balinese music on campus today. The style of the music and vocal percussion isn't completely new to me anymore, but it was new to tonight's audience, and it was a pleasure to share it with them tonight. Balinese music is different, it is more about fullness of each person participating and making sound. Some music is carefully calculated and soothing, while other music is explosive and flashy. It all comes together to make a lovely whole that is a fullness of sound and sight.
