Description

The gamelan has provided the source of poetic and formal inspiration for my new piano concerto. The books on the Gamelan Gong Kebyar by the ethnomusicologist Michael Tenzer have given me the opportunity to immerse myself in the mechanisms of this music on which the entire composition is based. The percussive character of the piano clearly evokes the gongs and metallophones of the gamelan. In both movements, we can find the complexity of constantly varying interlocking parts, the time cycles interrupted by the low gong and the seven-note pelog mode. ‘Cara Bali’ could be translated as ‘Bali style’, but my objective is to create points of departure for the imagination and not to imitate the inimitable.
