		Ziporyn asked Bresnick for Tenzers addressit was in northern Californiaand discovered that Tenzer was involved in Sekar Jaya, a gamelan ensemble taught by the great Balinese musician I Wayan Suweca.
		Ziporyn went to Berkeley for the summer to play in Sekar Jaya, and was so impressed that he eventually enrolled in the Ph.D. program at the University of California at Berkeley, where he could pursue Western composition while learning Balinese music in Sekar Jaya, thereby partaking of a double musical apprenticeship.
		Ziporyn is aware that his Western-trained sensibilities shape his perceptions of these models, but he cherishes the found meanings and partial coherences that result: Its a way of getting to a compositional place I wouldnt otherwise get to, as he puts it.

		Ziporyn's job was to write an interesting and exciting part for Heliphon and create parts for violin (Reynolds) and clarinet (himself) that provide a context for the robot.

		Evan Ziporyn is gradually building an impressive discography of his strong and subtle compositions.
		But with the exception of the beautiful Ngaben (a memorial to those killed in the bombing of a nightclub on Bali in 2002), none of Ziporyn's orchestral works has been available until now.
		The four works on this new Cantatoupe CD are therefore most welcome, and each is further evidence that Ziporyn is one of America's strongest and most original compositional voices.
