Reviews

In this innovative book, Tilley employs two Balinese gamelan-based case studies as the basis of a broadly cross-cultural examination of collective musical improvisation. This is highly original work that importantly expands the scope of research on gamelan, cross-cultural improvisation, ethnomusicology, and analytical approaches to world music. A game-changer! --Michael B. Bakan, Florida State University, author of Speaking for Ourselves: Conversations on Life, Music, and Autism and Music of Death and New Creation: Experiences in the World of Balinese Gamelan Beleganjur Both a closely argued and densely textured work on Balinese musical practices and an inter-/multi-musical exploration of collective improvisation as a process, Making It Up Together is a demonstration of and argument for music theory and analysis as a method for ethnomusicological and comparative research. --Gabriel Solis, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, author of Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall and Monk's Music: Thelonious Monk and Jazz History in the Making
