RECORDINGS:

SEKAR ALIT - My third recording features 12 new compositions for Indonesian Gamelan. The CD features resonant, meditative music played on the beautiful bronze instruments of a Central Javanese pelog Gamelan - large and medium-sized gongs, metallophones, and gong-chimes. All tracks were recorded on the instruments of Gamelan Kamala Shanti. 12 tracks.  LISTEN | BUY

WATERWHEEL - My debut recording combines the improvisation of jazz, the lyricism of classical, and the rhythmic drive of world music. These three traditions come together on ten original tunes to form an exciting and spontaneous blend. Ken performs on a wide assortment of hand drums, including doumbek, riq, djembe, and tabla. John Scott and Don Palmer are featured on cello and soprano sax. 10 tracks.
