Incidental Music for a Balinese Shadow Puppetry Show (2010)

Jennifer Goodlander, then a theatre professor at the University of Kentucky, asked me to write music to accompany a Balinese wayang kulit (shadow puppetry) show she was putting on as part of the annual Asian Arts festival. The show itself combined elements of traditional Balinese stories with more Western ideas. (For example, the main characters travel to Kentucky.)
