BlueJam Composers Group

New Compositions for Kite Festival

 

BlueJam team members who are professional composers joined forces with practitioners who were writing original music for the first time to create 6 pieces for the Morecambe Kite Festival in July 2016.

The group had varied experience of working with the gamelan from years of playing and studying to one taster workshop with BlueJam so the compositions offered an interesting creative response to the musical world the gamelan encapsulates.

Here are some of the compositions:
