Shifting Shadows (2012) is inspired by Stockhausen’s Mikrophonie 1 (1964), in which the sounds of a tam-tam are manipulated in real time by the movement of hand-held microphones and through electronic filtering and diffusion of the amplified sound.

In my work three traditional Javanese gamelan instruments – gambang (xylophone), slenthem (metalophone), and rebab (spiked fiddle) – are activated by an array of household materials to generate sounds. In live performance I intend for additional ‘players’ to create other layers of sound using a microphone as a musical instrument. The recording attempts to convey this layering of sound.

The character of Shifting Shadows was inspired by the idea of the ‘familiar spirit’, which in old European folklore is a supernatural entity, sometimes taking the form of an animal or human figure, to assist witches and other cunning folk. The sounds used in Shifting Shadows are eerie, intimate and gestural, giving the impression of an unknown creature.

In these pieces for a ‘chamber grouping’ of just three gamelan instruments, I used as the basis for composition a combined scale made up of pelog and slendro. The first piece combines a repeated ostinato and melody in a laid-back ‘bluesy’ kind of way. The second piece is a wholly serial composition consisting of a repeated cycle; the three performers play each note of their instrument once only (making a complete cycle) before again the notes are played in the same order, although the ensemble can be varied in the subsequent repetition. Written for Wellington’s Gamelan Padhang Moncar to perform at the Beat International Festival of Gamelan held in Wellington in 1999, and recorded on CD by them on Portal 1001/2.
