Iwan Gunawan, Stefan Lakatos

In homage to the outstanding work of composer Louis Thomas Hardin, better known as Moondog, the Barbican and Europalia Indonesia present Moondog for Gamelan at LSO St Luke’s on October 28.

Gamelan, the traditional ensemble music of Java and Bali, and an integral part of Indonesian culture, predominantly features percussive instruments. Its far-reaching influence can be found both in classical and contemporary music such as the soundtrack to the 1988 anime film Akira, and the recordings of post-punk group The Raincoats.
