The instrument is really prevalent in the soundtrack for Akira.

Exactly what I though about when I was watching the video! It's almost like you listen to some trip-hop(ish) or abstract electronic stuff. It's amazing.

Listen to some Jon Hassell if you are further interested into that concept of futuristic tribal music, although it is to be understood that he has an outside perspective on the music he references.

@@mirkanduvarci6126 thanks for the info, I'll check it out.

This sounds like the Whole Tone scale as if somebody with not a novice just playing the scale. Probably what Debussy heard in it.

what is the impressions about the music..and how d instruments help express the mood of piece...ty

I'm doing a project on gamelan and needed to know the name of this piece. Thank you so much you're a lifesaver

I thought "Ubud" as soon as I saw/heard them. Great skills.

Danke für diese Information sagen der Musikkurs des Archenholdgymnasiums Berlin und Herr Karlsen.

Thanks!

just get a really good audiophile grade speaker on an acoustic treated room, if u dont want to hire someone to play gamelan for u or travel to indonesia.

Live performance is always electrifying in it's immediate impact and intimacy. The very texture of music is different in live performance, and these people are great performers. Wish I could go there. I've heard beautiful recordings of all kinds of music, but there is no substitute for being there.

The gamelan specifically the higher notes on it have varying pitch by just a few hertz so it creates an auditory “wurble” so to speak. This “wurble” is often used in meditation music and was discovered by the Monroe institute in the 80’s to be an extremely effective way to synch the hemispheres of the brain.

@@Weenmeen this is the 'nerd' explanation that i need. lol. Thanks.

Pretty sure this is specific to the Balinese gamelan, as opposed to Javanese or other variants, since in Bali pairs of identical instruments are intentionally tuned somewhat different from each other

Thanks

I'm from SG but my grandma Balinese, fr I'm proud on their behalf this music is magical and soothes the soul

Yes it is. There's two different kinds of scales for gamelan. Pelog and slendro scale for anyone's interested in going deeper.

Many musical cultures have their own distinctive types of scale tuning

Idunno, I've only ever really listened to Western music all my life and I still think it sounds pretty

I don’t think you really know much about western music. Different scales are not uncommon, even as far back as European classical music we have been using different scales. In fact universally all music has different scales, you hear it in all music, like polyrhythms and such. We have things like drum and bass and techno which switched up generic scales or things like math rock which switch up the scale and timing as the music is being played. So this traditional music doesn’t sound off, it just sounds normal. In fact it is basically just arpeggiated and switched the tempo which again European classic music does the same so to western ears it just sounds normal.

@@FredbearsDiner No it's not that it sounds bad, it's just it's in a different key.

Me too! I'm writing an article about Debussy for my University and right I am listening to all gamelan I can find to lean more about it.

I'm a complete layman. May you please explain how he was influenced?

@@meusisto playing on black keys on the piano, even though it's not an exact reproduction of Asian scale systems.

@@meusisto listen to Pagodes by Debussy. One of the main melodies uses a pentatonic scale (5 note scale). Gamelan music uses two main scales, slendro(pentatonic) and pelog. Slendro is the pentatonic scale that Debussy was inspired by. The repeated fifths and fourths also evoke an eastern sound.

agree very much

not a music major so i never figured out the right adjectives to describe southeast asian music, thank you for this comment!

That is great..nice to hear that,,hope you succed with that,,come to my place,,there is some example of traditional instrument music from indonesia,including gamelan Bali-Java and sunda..

not only in music, the sense of time also cyclical in eastern tradition

You know, listening to Gamelan music always brings a smile to my face but I never seem to understand what people mean when they say that western music is linear in contrast to the cyclical nature of, say, gamelan music. I might be a bit thick in the head but I've listened to plenty of western music and I find a vast number of works/styles that are either more cyclical than linear (whether in its tonality changes, harmonic progressions, phrasings, use of ornamentation, melodies... even in its philosophy, not just in its form), or are a mix of both. From christian, "pagan" and shamanic traditions to composers and styles from the middle ages, renaissance, baroque...to more modern styles, either blues or rock, electronic or ambient, metal or ethno revival projects. In all of these it is hard for me to pin point what makes something cyclical and what makes it linear as I seem to find elements of both concepts in most things. Even Gamelan music kinda sounds to me like a mix of both with a very clear beginning and ending which mirror each other but also with many segments adding or substracting different elements. There might be a problem with the concepts themselves, at least for me, as a cycle is something which by definition has a beginning, a becoming and an ending and linear time is more how we describe and measure the succesion of historic cycles and events, and not really something absolute. But its way too late for this kind of thought, so I might be rambling a bit :)

In Bali, you can actually hear and FEEL the vibrations across the rice fields (if they still exist). The gong vibrations travel far and wide.

What module? 😊

I immediately also thought of Secret of Mana! Totally unique and distinct sound.

Hey, that is a GREAT game I grew up with too! It was so cool to see our culture represented, even in a super small way as a kid.. It means even more to see that it resonated with other nerdy kids enough to adulthood and that they're still enjoying it today :)

Justin Klotz actually they look at each other to connect while playing

_egas calybird of course, it’s a very good way to connect. Also, they do it not only to stay in time, they have a whole different conception of their music and when you are playing you are asked to hear and be aware of every other instrument and every other person that is playing with you. It is actually part of their way of playing to look at each other.
