Description

Gamelan instruments are arranged on a bed of white sand. Simple mechanical devices play the instruments. A monitor displays minimal images like a shadow play. Primitive but vigorous sounds of the instruments harmonize with sampled voices, musics and with the images, to create a coherence within the diversity.

The word "Nommunication" is play on the Japanese words for "drink" and "communication."
