About the Author
Colin McPhee was a composer, pianist, ethnomusicologist, and writer whose work helped bring the intricate sounds of Balinese gamelan to wider international attention. Drawn to the music, landscapes, and cultural life of Bali, he combined careful observation with a musician’s ear and a vivid literary sensibility. His writing bridges travel memoir, cultural history, and personal reflection, offering readers an evocative portrait of a transformative artistic encounter. McPhee’s legacy endures through his influential studies of Southeast Asian music and his richly atmospheric account, A House in Bali.
