"... a rich and rewarding musical experience that challenges as well as it soothes – and magically manages to do it on several cultural levels at once."
- The WholeNote

Vancouver's oldest gamelan group is named after Gamelan Kyai Madu Sari (the Venerable Essence of Honey), which was brought to Vancouver for Expo '86. All the pieces on the 2010 album Hive combine elements of the Javanese tradition with wide-ranging influences and inspirations, from morphing minimalism (Stream) to the English tradition of bell pealing (Symmetries) to the fusing of polyrhythmic frameworks, Javanese lyricism and structured improvisation (Inquietude).
