Komodo Kolektif is a loose collective of veteran multi-instrumentalists based not in Indonesia as one might expect with such a name, but Glasgow, Scotland. Their name being a reference to the Indonesian gamelan instruments featured in their compositions. The instruments used, saron, gender, kempul belong to local gamelan ensemble Gamelan Naga Mas of which two of the musicians have been full-time members for around a decade while the other members are also loosely affiliated and have appeared as ‘guest’ musicians on various one-off performances and who are themselves well-known musicians in their own rights. Combined with an arsenal of vintage synthesizers, FX-laden guitar and traditional hand percussion the resulting concoction is a mystical brew indeed.
