about

All sounds of this composition used only field recordings from Balinese Gamelan (Baleganjur) in Ubud, Bali.


"In 1580, Sir Frances Drake recorded a brief encounter with Javanese natives in the ship’s log of the GoldenHind that made explicit reference to a traditional musical practice: “[the natives] presented our Generall with his country musick, which though it were of a very strange kind … was pleasant and delightfull.”

While the gamelan is not expressly referenced in Drake’s commentary, its ancient origin prior to the establishment of the Hindu-Buddhist culture of Indonesia — already long established by the time Drake arrived aboard the Golden Hind — would not have precluded it from being present. It was not until 1885 that A. J. Ellis began to formally archive and analyze Javanese gamelan repertoire, conducting research on laras (tuning systems) including the slendro and pelog tunings (5-note and 7-note scales, respectively) of the instruments in this ensemble. His research was incredibly important to comparative musicology and established the notion and notation of “cents” for measuring music intervals.

Ellis’s writings, however informative, appealed more to the academic and philologist than the musician, and did not directly promote an increased popularity of this music among amateur European audiences."
