about

Among Bali’s many sanggar — private arts organizations — Çudamani stands out as one of the most vibrant. It was formed by a family of young musicians in the village of Pengosekan, a rich center of gamelan music, dance, painting and sculpture. The virtuosic musicians of Çudamani, led by Dewa Putu Berata, play on an unusual type of hybrid gamelan orchestra created in the 1980s. With seven tones rather than the usual five, this gamelan semaradana allows the freedom to play in unusual modes, derived from older court and ritual gamelan. Combined with the powerful resources of modern kebyar style, Çudamani is able to create and re-create a wide range of music and dance works—from Taruna Jaya, an explosive early 20th century dance in a riveting new arrangement, to Geregel, a seven-tone instrumental work that has opened entirely new vistas in contemporary gamelan music.

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
