Heel erg bedankt dat je deze film met ons wilt delen. Ik heb deze muziek leren kennen in de 70er jaren en het was mijn "poort" tot Bali en haar cultuur. Helaas heb ik Lotring nooit ontmoet, hoewel hij toen nog wel leefde. Het orkest heb ik voor het eerst live meegemaakt in 1978. Het was en blijft een bijzondere gebeurtenis.

great!

i was looking for Colin McPhee's take on Gambangan, and your video was a direct result of that search! No McPhee but this is fine :)

(I have Lotring's Hommage CD - fantastic also)

@glitterballz Indeed, the Hommage a Wayan Lotring CD set must be one of the very best gamelan recordings ever. Quite fantastic. It was not easy to find, but it is a great prize.

@PieterdeRooijHolland do u play gamelan?have you watch all this video?is so beautiful!!!i have it at home in bali.thanks for upload it, i have repeated many times already....liar samas is so beautiful

@fastmallets21 : I played Javanese and Balinese gamelan for many, many years in the past, but no longer after 2003 I think. I also listened a lot and I have many recordings. I watched the 20-minute footage published by Jacques... unique material and yes, Liar Samas is a marvellous piece... probably my favourite Lotring-piece :)
