De Leon

"De Leon" (2023) is De Leon's second album since 2018.

Elements of Javanese gamelan and minimalism are also present on this untitled second album, which features a wide range of source material, including Daniel Schmidt's Mills college gamelan and the spherical gongs on the album's cover, combining it with homemade instruments and faint, vaporous synths.

De Leon has incorporated the gamelan music of composer Daniel Shcmidt. Mills College, where Daniel Shcmidt currently teaches instrument making, is actually a prestigious women's college where Telly Riley once taught Indian classical music. This album makes you feel the connection between minimalism and gamelan to the present day (Ammel).
