About

'Nusantara' is the ancient name of Indonesia and simply means "archipelago". The solo piano part was written for the Indonesian musician Ananda Sukarlan. The work contains elements arising out of musical areas which he found fascinating and which are the result of a mixture of soundworlds where the geography is as much of the mind as of the map. Nusantara employs a pentatonic scale typical of gamelan music so this composition travels all the way to Indonesia and back continually.
 
Nusantara is the result of a crossover, something inevitable in an age like the present when the western idea of a "history of art" moving constantly forward in one direction is replaced with the notion of a mosaic guided solely by the character of the artist.
 
The Concerto for violin was written in 1997 and calls for far larger forces than Nusantara. Despite this, the overall sound is generally leaner and tends towards the more chamber-like in orchestration.
