Gently lunging melodies combine to produce a bustling tapestry of sound. Turn literally turns over its phrases, varying upon each repetition. Once I decided to dedicate this piece to my mother, an inveterate knitter, it struck me: that’s exactly what a turn is in knitting, a reworking on top of an already established stitched pattern! On a larger level Turn pushes towards build-ups that end each time with a literal turn in direction. This in a major way constitutes the modus operandi of the piece.

  • The Three Forges Cork Gamelan Ensemble Dublin: Diatribe Recordings Ltd., 2015 DIACD019
    The Three Forges Cork Gamelan Ensemble Dublin: Diatribe Recordings Ltd., 2015 DIACD019 With The Three Forges, the Cork Gamelan Ensemble presents a collection of newly composed music for Javanese Gamelan, the traditional gong ensemble music of Java in Indonesia. The ensemble is directed by Professor Mel Mercier who in 1994 commissioned the gamelan instruments on behalf of University College Cork (UCC) and has taught the UCC Gamelan in the Seomra Gamelan (Gamelan Room) at the university’s Department of Music until his departure in 2016. Composing new music for gamelan is a widespread practice, both inside and outside of Indonesia. Two types of original music are distinguished: komposisi baru (new works based on traditional structures) and kreasi baru (experimental compositions, ignoring traditional forms and/or techniques) (Pickvance, 2005). Over the years, the UCC Gamelan has performed original music for gamelan alongside the traditional repertoire. With the establishment of the Cork Gamelan Ensemble by UCC graduates in 2013, an ensemble exclusively aimed at composing and performing original music for gamelan was born. To date, the Cork Gamelan Ensemble has collaborated with various Irish artists, initial encounters which always begin in the Seomra Gamelan. The results of these joint efforts can be found on the ensemble’s debut album, The Three Forges. The album opens with the komposisi baru ‘Kelly and Andy’. It is based on the gangsaran, a traditional musical form with a persisting ostinato on one note. This ostinato, or repetitive figuration, features throughout this energetic opening song on the balungan instruments (metallophones which play the core melody). The other instruments, the higher pitched balungan instruments, and the chorus embellish the ostinato.

We document, develop and promote contemporary music from the island of Ireland. Our library and sound archive houses the scores, recordings and related materials of approximately two hundred composers at our base in Dublin and online at www.cmc.ie. We aim to create and facilitate opportunities for composers and performers in the performance of contemporary music and to develop an audience for and participation in contemporary music in Ireland and for Irish contemporary music abroad.
