“Revelling is a vignette of impressions of Bali, Java, and spiced with that of Khajuraho. The period when I lived in Ubud in the 70s was that of discovery of the spirit of Balinese dances and the gamelan. Later, I met American composer Lou Harrison whose composition, inspired by Javanese gamelan, was the work I chose to express the awe I felt when confronted with the sensuality of the temple sculptures of Khajuraho.” - Ramli Ibrahim
