Ensemble Nist-Nah

Ensemble Nist-Nah

Ensemble Nist-Nah brings together eight eclectic musicians, contributing deep experience and expertise to explore a fusion of gamelan and experimental percussion. Led by drummer and percussionist Will Guthrie, the group draws on a wide range of traditional Indonesian musics and gong-based sounds from Southeast Asia. Their work builds on Guthrie’s long-standing engagement with pitched percussion and resonant metals. Inspired by the suspended time of Javanese gamelan Sekaten, the intense repetition of the trance ritual Jathilan, and the shimmering acoustic textures of Balinese composer Dewa Alit and his gamelan Salukat.
