![]() I asked each composer to illustrate his own piece. This CD presents the works in alphabetic order of the composers’ names. Naturally, the musicians were entirely free to conceive and realize their compositions, and working as a group with effective communication and collaboration they succeded in producing a set of pieces which offer a wonderful variety of musical languages and sounds, while being excitingly innovating, each in his own direction. The arrangements, initiated in April 2008, were rather straightforward, and the recording of the pieces took place in September of the same year. Joko Purwanto acted as a coordinator, and he has to be thanked for this role. They operated as an artistic group, benefiting from the consequent synergies of the situation. The creations, each less than ten-minute long, are the result of a commision that I proposed to the musicians. Six compositions by six musicians, all faculty members of ISI (Institut Seni Indonesia), Surakarta. Cover photo: Centre ceiling of Main Pendopo ISI Surakarta
