​After studying contemporary music with composers Carlton Gamer and Stephen Scott, in 1992 I left to study traditional gamelan music in Bali, Indonesia.  Since then, I have studied and performed with a number of different gamelan ensembles around the United States and Indonesia, including Gamelan Tunas Mekar, the Cornell University Gamelan Ensemble, and Gamelan Kusama Laras.
