Description

A House in Bali tells the story of Colin McPhee's obsession with Balinese gamelan music and his journey to experience it firsthand. In 1929, he discovered rare gramophone recordings that changed his life forever.

McPhee spent almost a decade on the island in the 1930s, immersing himself in the culture where music is an integral part of daily life. His writings and compositions helped popularize gamelan music in the West, but it was his own experiences that truly revealed the depth of this fascinating society.

This memoir offers a beguiling picture of a world where art and spirituality are intertwined, and where passion and obsession can lead to profound discovery. A captivating account of one man's journey into the heart of Balinese culture.
