A good starting place is the park by the Eastman school of music. I saw my percussion teacher there playing in a gamelan

I remember in high school I wanted to go see Gamelan Son of Lion, and my mother thought it was some sort of cult-related thing. She always was suspicious about the wrong things.

one month passes...

New book coming out looks like it could be good. (Though ABC-CLIO puts out are kind of mediocre as reference tools.)

Speaking of Gamelan Son of Lion, some (or all?) of their work is back in print as of this year. I had forgotten that both Philip Corner and Daniel Goode were members.
