Tim Byard-Jones
Tim Byard-Jones fell in love with gamelan during a concert tour of Indonesia in the 80s and in his efforts to play as much as possible on his return became a founder-member of both the Oxford and South Bank gamelan.
From 1988 to 1990 he studied gamelan and shadow puppetry at Institut Seni Indonesia in Yogyakarta, and liked it so much he went back to Yogya to live for several subsequent periods.
In 1991 he went to SOAS to study Ethnomusicology, writing a PhD thesis on the musical accompaniment of wayang.
He is currently employed as an Indonesia analyst at BBC Monitoring, which he combines with the teaching of gamelan and puppetry and the writing of occasional articles as a "gentleman amateur" scholar.
