Tabuh Kreasi Loloan (2004)
I Dewa Ketut Alit

The beginning is on a beautiful mountainside filled with sounds of nature. Thick forest stands still in the sprinkling rain that creates a river. Mountain water runs through the land. Making all sorts of curves as it flows, it eventually reaches the end, Loloan, the meeting of river and ocean.

This tabuh kreasi (new instrumental creation) was developed from a 2003 composition, Puyung Maisi (Something From Nothing), created in collaboration with Colin MacDonald and Leo Pedersen of the Vancouver gamelan troupe Gita Asmara. Jeff Purmort created this new arrangement.

Very good music. I like it!

the trumpet should not be used. it is out of tune for the scale of the gamelan. the cello and violin can be used because they are fretless, but the trumpet is stuck on a western scale.
