	NGA JIWA was a performing ensemble that used microtonal constructed instruments and found percussion objects. A sort of music-based performance art, each event was a costumed tribal ritual inspired by gamelon, Harry Partch, industrial music, and Tibetan sky burial. Using micro-tonal pitch structures, and rhythms at times based on odd numbers of beats, the music was both primitive and experimental.		'''NGA JIWA''' was a performing ensemble that used microtonal constructed instruments and found percussion objects. A sort of music-based performance art, each event was a costumed tribal ritual inspired by gamelon, Harry Partch, industrial music, and Tibetan sky burial. Using micro-tonal pitch structures, and rhythms at times based on odd numbers of beats, the music was both primitive and experimental.

	NGA JIWA was essentially [[Scott Harris]]'s project, but many of his players were drawn from some of the more interesting bands in Chicago Punk. Harris would spend more than 18 months between performances constructing all of the instruments and composing the music. Along with strictly composed sections performances also had structured improvisational sections.
