  • aku benci gamelannnn bnyinya sprtiii babiii

  • @MrBerdue inilah contoh manusia indonesia yg membenci budayanya sendiri...ya kayak babi jg mungkin ngk punya otak...

  • I got today an order to explain the meaning of my comentary .I wrote :there are sofwares who make that and more for millons of years (in the future) without repeating itselfs .What do you think you had there ? a super concert ?

    The name (is in Google) :Resonance ambient sound mixer binaural tone generator .

    I live in Nederland ,And im the best music man of the history .Don t even try to discuss with me.

  • @kbr7ly1 I'm from The Netherlands as well. You asked what the point was and I think people want authenticity. It's something people long for. Otherwise gamelan would be fully replaced by synthesis by now. And tell me why would the " best music man in history" spell synthesizer like "sintetaizer". You asked what's the point. Don't get mad if someone answers you.

  • ai-ya, just choked on my nasi goreng estimewa.

  • WE KNOW MANY  SINTETAIZER STATIONS WHO MADE THAT FOR EVER AND EVER.

    WHAT IS THE POINT ?

  • @kbr7ly1 authenticiteit knul

  • @TheCompanyRules

    What did you wrote ? authenticiteit ? don t be ridiculo . suposing you are right,you think that authentisiteit does not have algoritms ? So now ,you are in orbit around the moon....Can you identify authenticiteit in 300 people beating metals? Genial you are . ! Tell me are you from chile o Africa?

  • hardcore!

  • saya .. cinta Indonesia ..

  • [TRULLYY BaliI gamelan cultr (INDONESIA)

  • i want to start a gamelan band. video is cool but it must be way more fun to be in the middle of it and doing it.

  • i want to start a gamelan band.

  • Woow, i failed with typing: Game LAN and got here...

  • @Donnygast

    this is probably one of the best videos you steped too if you listen to more of gamelan you can turn this to anything

  • tokyo drift use this kin of thing

  • WIZKHALIFA IS INSPIRED BY THIS

  • macammm bodohhh jee gamelannn balii niii....berukkkkkk

  • @MrCenerai : karena malaysia tak punya adat milik ini. indonesia kaya budaya bukan rupa malaysia

  • their timing is flawless.

  • @Delayednoise The other thing that is amazing is that most gamelan players in Bali are not "professional" musicians. Many accomplished musicians who play at night are rice farmers by day!

  • @kungfujohnny82 i believe it. there's pure heart and talent in their playing.

  • When you combine passion with discipline, you'll always get something good out of it.

  • anybody know the name of the composition?

  • @DaZeuhlUndazir It's called "Sekar Jepun" (Plumeria Blossom).

  • @SiKedek thank you kind sir

  • they're so talented!

  • This is some psychadelic series music, awesome. If you click "2" on your keyoard repeatedly and then alternate with "8" it makes a funny tune. Wish there were more numbers too goof around this music. especially part at 4:48 :o

  • this is some mystical shit !

  • its like drum & bass, but with bells/bongos/gongs as the instruments

  • thanks for uploading, very nice!

  • This kind of music was send on a lp in the Voyager 1, for if extra-terrestrials would find it :)

  • gamelan is originally from INDONESIA!!

  • gamstep xD

  • weed+mystic=my hobby

  • fuck dupstep

  • @TheSoelter oh yeah !!

  • i love play sarong peking

  • super speed

  • whats up with these reyong players??

  • John Cage was deeply influenced by this musical genre, judging by the similarity of his compositions to this track.

  • @jarblewarble Yes, he was, by this as much as by Erik Satie. Cage had a suite of "Three Dances for Two Prepared Pianos" that very purposefully attempts to emulate the sound of gamelan orchestras.

  • perfect

  • it has some kind of magic in it, I think.. amazing!

  • the joys of snorting tree sap

  • indonesia

  • It is not the gong but the drummer who is "conducting."

  • It's almost like that song is natural, like it came directly from the earth. Amazing. This is when humans amaze me.

  • this is waay more hype than dubstep!

  • @jstaub1125 hype as hell

  • @jstaub1125 everything is more hype than dubstep u gonna grow and u will understand..

  • Blows my mind everytime.

  • so energic. it's BALI!!!

  • this shit is another dimension when you smoke some ghanja xDDDDDD

  • how do they keep time? that is so cool. 

  • @KindOfMaroon I guess it is the bass gong which synchronize them all

  • Great performance & interesting video. Gamelan is very unique, original & may be something spiritual, orientally Jazz. Thank & many thanks.

  • How unfortunate it is that there is no provision for improvisation in this BEAUTIFUL tradition of music! And how wonderful it is to see the musicians possess such a superb sense of understanding with one another so as to produce such a perfectly synchronized piece of music! It is even more wonderful to see the Gamelan, even-though being an oral tradition, being preserved till today in its pristine purity, HATS OFF to the youth!

  • 3:00 Break it down, yo.

  • awesomeness. gamelan gong kebyar always soothes the soul

  • this is hard to believe! thay all have fucking great sense of rythym and music in general!!

  • Amazing video. Their precision is incredible.

  • Amazing video!

  • @Jaikodragon

  • !! ❐❍▲ gamelan + weed = nxt lvl ▲❍❐ !!

  • @zakloyd gamelan + weed = what a tool

  • @zakloyd that's life..

    Once i was listenning to this music (album Gentra Pasundan) it was around 1pm (already smoked) and i've past all the afternoon sat on my sofa. And i realised that it was 6pm when my mom saw me on the sofa and told me, did you past all the afternoon just sitting here ? then i said : apparently yes...

    It was so intense..

    So this, in the morning with some weed and, i don't know in english "smell sticks or enscents" ? is the best of all the best on this planet..

  • wooo tea pots FTW!

  • Never fail to astound me, this intricate and melodious assault on the senses...

  • ich gerate in Ekstase. ich liebe diese Sounds. Könnte ich den ganzen Tag hören.

    Es ist große Kunst !

  • the timbali is the ever reminder

  • the bridge in this piece is haunting

    

  • @bandguyz24

    The one at 1:48 ? lol... i thought that was pretty haunting.. spooky... mysterious... interesting..

  • Beleganjur is processional gamelan. Gong kebyar is an "explosive-sounding" 20th century style. They use cymbals in gong kebyar as well (called ceng-ceng) but since everyone is marching during a beleganjur performance, you will see more of the cymbals.

  • What's the difference between this and regular beleganjur? Is it the absence of cymbals?

  • I love YouTube, I get to hear sounds from all over the world.

  • wow

    

  • can't believe how tight the orchestra is. I love this stuff

  • Amazing! Simply amazing!

  • EAST WINS!

  • INDONESIA!

  • oh my god

    how far is western music from that....

  • Lo acabo de escuchar de nuevo, una basura.

  • At 3:30 it sounds like some kind of acoustic drum & bass!

  • Very exotic kind of music

  • no celebration!

  • bah, playing Chinese pots ... just kidding, very well

  • Wonderful Trip!!!

  • FUCK YEAH!

  • Que basura por dios!

  • A eso lo llamaria cagarse en el circulo de quintas

  • Comment removed

  • @frederickgauss: claramente no tienes sentido de la armonía alguno y muestras una gran ignorancia con ese comentario. El círculo de quintas sirve de base armónica para la música occidental, de siete notas por escala y temperamento igual. Esta música no tiene relación alguna con ello y nadie se está cagando en ningún círculo de quintas, ellos tocan en una escala pentatónica que tiene intervalos que no puedes reproducir con escalas occidentales, sólo escucha con atención...si tienes algo de oído.

  • Does anyone else hear similarities between certain parts of this and Sonic Youth?

  • This music is miraculous!

  • this is so cool....

  • good to see this video is still up

  • great

  • you know what's funny? i discovered this video in october 2007 and became totally entranced by it. i actually remember listening to this over and over again and drawing a detailed diagram of its structure... now two and a half years later i am a gamelan (balinese and javanese) geek playing in my school's ensembles and composing music using elements from both traditions.

  • @horncomposer That's awesome and inspiring, good on you

  • @horncomposer I wanna be a gamelan geek someday...

  • @horncomposer I'd love to see your diagram!

  • @horncomposer Great one! I had the same experience during my study at the conservatory. Is there any of your music online so I can have a listen to your works?

  • TETSUOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @MortiS86 Yeah i was wondering to. Does Japanese have also this kind of instruments or did they stole/sample it?

  • @lemn80 From my knowledge, there is one orchestra in Japan (Geinoh Yamashirogumi) that uses many Indonesian instruments in their songs. Their music style especially became popular when they composed songs for the animated movie "Kaneda". If you look up "Kaneda's theme" on youtube, you're bound to find one such song, it's worth a listen :D

  • this is the best ever!

  • Interesting music.

  • Awesome!

  • crazy

  • Bagoose!sweet sound im proud to be half balinese gamelan is amazing!love bali Kuta underground bitches n haters who dont no wassup with the harmony in bali peace out;-)

  • I like at around 3'30 when the drummer dude does that really slick hand motion right before the break down, like just to let you know he's about to break it down.

  • @OddHunter The director of our gamelan does that a lot. Just one of the techniques I suppose?

  • This is just so amazing.

  • I want more!

    where did you get this??

  • GOED 0.0

    APPELFLAP VAN KOEN :)

  • holy tacos! this is awesome

  • Sekar Jupung means Flower from Japan!!

    Magnificent!!

    And so well recorded and filmed!

    a masterpiece of human most achieved art form: music!!

  • It always amazes me when they play those fast passages in "hocket" - i.e. sharing the melodic line(s) amongst several players/parts...

  • haha 0:23 i love the guy in the bg rocking out

  • This is great!

  • this is way more interesting, groovy and hip than the dopest electronic music track

  • LOL hey look like elfs in sants work shop

  • where i can find traditional gamelan music ?

  • gamelan 4ever=D

  • Are these musicians from the village of Sebatu?

  • @PeaceLoveJoyWorld No, this is Tirta Sari from Peliatan.

  • This actually isn't the sort of gamelan that Debussy heard; it was a Javanese gamelan that performed at the Exhibition Universelle in Paris in 1889, a much more stately and "static" sounding ensemble. Balinese gamelan at that time was not dissimilar, but this more virtuoso "Kebyar" style didn't evolve until into the twentieth century, and is really much more a Balinese development. There's an amazing book my Michael Tenzer, "Gamelan Gong Kebyar", lots of history & structure, and has CD's.

  • Hi Ferretguru,

    Do you mind if I use a snippet of your film in a video clip I am making? The song is called "This world looks beautiful" and the snippet is to illustrate this statement. I would appreciate it very much and I will refer to the source in the description of the clip on YouTube. Thanks

  • I heard about gamelan in school. It's from Indonesia, I think. Influenced by Asian neighbors.

  • @CaitlinsComics Yeah it's Indonesian, but not influenced by Asian neighbors, it's it's own type of music it's different.

  • @Stealthanugrah

    well, yes, that is true-ish... there's also kulintang in the southern philippines, which is similar and are related by similar ancient roots.

  • @arceo77 the kulintang sounds nothing like the gamelan. the gamelan is a much more highly developed form.

  • this is gangsta man fuck techno they should put this in the discos man!!!
