Composed in New York October 23 - Dec 31, 2006, Mixed at 23 windows Brooklyn January 7, 2007

This is a minimal techno album made with Indonesian Gongs and insect samples. Wisma Langit was made in the reflection of returning to New York City after years in the rice fields of Indonesia playing music daily on bronze metalaphones and gongs. The bass lines and kicks are made from the gong agung from central Java and Bali. The highs are usually Hindu prayer bells from Bali, high pitched metalaphones, and insect calls cut into short percussive samples. The mids and melodies are almost all from gamelan instruments. Snares and other things marking breaks are mostly sourced from sticks striking bamboo, hand drums, and slamming of doors.

This album was made from a live recording at the Rumah Budaya Tembi December 23, 2005. 11 compositions featuring the sounds of Gamelan Jawa and Gamelan Sekaten from Yogyakarta, Gamelan Belaganjur, Gong Gede and Genggong from Bali, Kalimbung ensemble from the Batak region in Sumatra, and Sapaq from Kalimantan; performed with field recordings from Mentawai, Sumatra, Java, Bali, Flores, Sumba, Sawu, and Roti Islands. The sounds of the instruments and field recordings were compiled into a sampler and then were sequenced together into interlocking layers, similar to the theoretical process inherent in Gamelan and shared by modern electronic music. The scores were pre-composed in pieces and then performed as a live arrangement with sampler and effects. The majority of the scores were also written in an Indonesian cipher notation (Sistem Notasi Nusantara).

Released in September 2006 at Gubuk Damai in Kutuh Kaja Bali as a CD.
The scores were composed through the first half of 2006 and then compiled and/or re-created in July and August before being mastered as a CD.

This album featured 2 compositions made solely on the sacred Gamelan Selonding from Bali as well more experimental "click and pop" tracks combined with a minimal approach to Javanese court gamelan and high energy beat manipulations of Balinese Belaganjur with dense layering of cicada samples from Borneo. Compositions abstractly based on the 2nd Volume were performed live with Ableton software and gamelan instruments, sampling and mixing with prerecorded material.
