The composer of this piece is I Dewa Ketut Alit, one of the great young composers in Bali. He originally composed this piece for Angklung, but they would not allow it in such an arrangement for the competition in the Bali Arts Festival. So he re-arranged it for Gong Kebyar. This is the performance during the Bali Arts festival, summer 2005 and the group is the childrens group from the region (state/province) of Gianyar, Bali.
Interesting.....My goosebumps up when listen to it....Get inspired....Tat was good....
Comelnya budak-budak ni main gamelan. Penuh perasaan dengan lenggok kepala nya....Suka saya tengok.
Aransemen musik yang luar biasa...👍👌👏
Amazing chords, textures, variations and counterpoint are skillfully realized by these artists as they build one scene on another.
thomante
salam dari orang yogyakarta yang tinggal di los angeles. bagus gamelannya. regenrasi yang baik sekali. di yogya sendiri sudah jarang anak kecil main gamelan. bravo.
Yang aa di daerah lu sekarang terorist bangsat yg ngelarang orang hindu bangun pura dan melakukan ritual di yogyakarta!! Lu tahu jawa itu milik leluhur kami hindu tapi setelah datang iblis islam jawa seperti neraka yg penuh keburukan!!
inthefade: are you a QOTSA/Gamelan fan too? Thought I was the only one!!
Posters: Thank you SO much for this! I always get all emotional listening to Gamelan, I'm not sure why, my guess is that it is beautiful and familiar to my soul on a subconscious level.
And these children are awesome cool -- catch the kids in one row spinning their little hammer things between parts. Reminds me of the horn section in "The Blues Brothers."
Ethereal! Like a well-wound clock mechanism. Magnificent coordination and artistry. Great Production.
mantep puniki vidione. salah kenal chandanata, tiang anak bali ring singapore, namun lacur ten bise megamelan..
You know, that is the fact how the Balinese audiences are. We, Balinese, wasn't bothered with all of that. Both of you are right!! Balinese audience just loves to express their impression directly when there are something good or bad that are going on in the stage. Especially in the Gong Kebyar Competition.
this video reminds me 7 years ago, I was a flute player who sat in the front position!
I can't get enough of this video.
I'm Balinese, and playing gamelan. I think it will be better if competition is only for the young and kids. For senior player it's better to do some kind of exhibition like in the jazz world, no competition no ego boosting. Cheers and jeers for the young and silent appreciation for the mature artists. Imagine! enjoying those ethereally beautiful sound in silent...
I am very proud to be a part of this art group, when I performed this performance I was only 14 years old and we are the winner.
Amazing story 😭😭
oh goodness. I got completely the wrong end of the stick :P Thanks for taking the time to correct me!
By the way, if you are interested in hearing more of Alit's compositions, check out the recorded work of the Balinese gamelan "Cudamani". Alit and his brothers founded that group and built it into one of the most innovative gamelans in Bali today. The have done international tours, so keep an eye out for Cudamani. Alit has also worked with gamelan's in Vancouver, B.C., and Boston, MA.
This some great music! To paraphrase the Beatles in "Let It Be": "Phillip Glass ain't got nothing on this figure..."
You got it all here. Time changes, dissonance, dynamics, a non-twelve step octave and repetition--and it's all traditional folk music played and directed by real people.
To us Amero-European composers using synthesizers, this is what we call progressive or experimental.
In a real since, we're just stealing from our past.
It's a concert...not a studio recording! As a musician or any kind of performer, you feed off that energy...
Thanks pjcbellora...!
WOW!!!
BRILLIANT!!!
wah, nice. ive never heard this style of mucic before. i read a research paper that said the unusual proportion of high frequencies found in gamelan music enhanced brain activity. :) interesting.
I wonder if I would've heard a similar audience at the Balinese dance performance if I hadn't been surrounded by tourists ;).
Cok Wira, ring dije niki mangkin?
tiang mangkin ring Vancouver, Canada.
salam kenal dari tiang (tiang assistantnya Cok Wah)
Unreal.
If you initially found the noisy audience annoying, a typical Balinese temple ceremony will shock you. In the same space, there may be as many as five or six ensembles playing at the same time - different pieces, different timbres, not to mention different tunings. A cacophonous situation for sure, but highly desired because the Balinese love a festive situation that is rame, or "lively, busy". Its antonym, sepi "silent, quiet", is an almost depressing situation.
Gamelan Cenik Wayah ??
God Bless Bali :-)
wow! Hammer Time!
However, sometimes there are lots of audience who doesn't know about music at all, comes there to watch and gives inappropriate responses to what are going on. Those are audiences who doesn't have understanding to the arts.

I Wayan Sudirana
Oh dear, not another one...
Just read my and chandanatha's previous comments, please.
this is great peforment
hey, the chinese culture also encourages cheering on the part of the audience when a particularly difficult part is performed =]
Lebih Rancak,,,itu yang aku suka dari gamelan bali,,,
I think there is a misunderstanding here...I really didn't want to judge anyone...I had only noticed that the audience was noisy and I just thought that this beatiful music could have needed a silent audience...I'm not american, I hope I didn't bother any balinese with my comment!
ndak ada gamelan baleganjur tolong diisi ya
The swastika is an extremely old auspicious symbol, long before its reappropriation by the Nazis.
In East Asia, one can see it in a particular lattice-like pattern in China, Japan, Korea, and anywhere within strong Sinitic (i.e. Chinese) influence - this was brought along with Buddhism. I've also seen this in on some headdresses from a few Native American groups.
wow,ur analysis seems little bit though for me. But, i enjoy the music.
Understandably, there may be some gamelan musicians who might be bothered to a certain extent. However, according to Wayne Vitale in his CD featuring Pak Windha's works, the players must "maintain a high _mental_ (attitude) in the face of screaming and sometimes malicious spectators". In other words, if a musician is so freaked out by this charged atmosphere, it's better for him/her to quit. So it's not the most ideal environment - but it's there anyway. They just have to deal with it.
Well, simply speaking: Balinese Gamelan is fast and Javanese gamelan is slow. But, is a lot more than that, if we want to distinguish them.
Just think of this like your average sporting event - with music groups as the competing teams.
for some strange reason the beginning reminded me of the old classic pc game LOOM
let's help out this fellow over here... the Hindu Swastika (with a K) denotes prosperity and goodwill. and if you are keen in enough in observing, you should have noticed Hitler's swastika is facing the opposite direction!
hillarious
No, you misunderstand - any traditional gamelan performance worth its salt will have audience outbursts like this, especially in a gamelan competition situation. That way, you know the audience is paying attention. A silent audience is definitely NOT DESIRED in Bali! And a Balinese audience will not reserve any judgment - if you're considered low quality, they'll be glad to criticize, laugh, holler, or jeer. It's just the name of the game in Bali...
Music is wordless.. beautiful and evoking..but seriously the audience is HORRIBLE...they really don't deserve this great music.
Did you even bother to look at my response to "hexachordal"?
"No, you misunderstand - any traditional gamelan performance worth its salt will have audience outbursts like this, especially in a gamelan competition situation. That way, you know the audience is paying attention. A silent audience is definitely NOT DESIRED in Bali! And a Balinese audience will not reserve any judgment"
In other words, Balinese gamelans like this noise from the audience.
Did you know what's the different between Hindu's Swastika and the one that Hitler had been use????
You should learn about it first before you give your comment about it! (in fact that your spelling is wrong too)
However, this performance is not related to that!!!
So, are you going to oversee the public censure of Bali and Balinese culture? Cultural suppression because of perceived cross-cultural misunderstanding? Yeah, that will go over really well...
lol you just judged Americans by assuming he was American. Nice hypocrisy.
It really annoys me how you can hear all these people in the background going 'WOOO YEAH! CLAP CLAP CLAPPITY CLAP!' at EVERY OPPORTUNITY. Why don't they just shut up and respect the gamelan tradition in the way it's meant to be appreciated... in silence?
