The Harvey Mudd College American Gamelan is an ensemble of instruments from the classical Javanese orchestra known as the gamelan, but which plays new works by composers outside of that tradition. While these composers may be informed by traditional Javanese works, they have adapted this ensemble for their own expression, a “tradition” established in the United States by Lou Harrison and Bill Colvig, who named their ensembles “American Gamelan.”  Current members of the Harvey Mudd American Gamelan include Bill Alves, Kristin Hunt, Martin Hunt, John Pham, Ansel Schmidt, Julie Simon, Mutiara Sandjaja, Kiattikun Tanapad, Gena Urowsky, and Darryl Yong.
