Gamelan Sekar Jaya - Work Sample - 2007

4 video clips, featuring Sekar Jaya and renowned guest artists.
Total length: 3:30.
Part 1: Tabuh Telu Sikep Nyindang, performed by GSJ's angklung ensemble at
Julia Morgan Theater, Berkeley, CA (May 4, 2004)
Guest Artists I Nyoman Kariasa (guest music director, 2004)
This excerpt shows one of GSJ's four ensembles performing a work in classical lelambatan form that has been rearranged, incorporating elements of the dynamic kebyar style. The excerpt shows the quality of GSJ's ensemble playing, and interaction with a highly skilled young guest musician.
Part 2: Taruna Jaya ("Victorious Youth"), performed by GSJ's gong kebyar ensemble at the Jackson Theater, Santa Rosa, CA 2002. Dance: Ni Ketut Arini
In this excerpt GSJ's largest gamelan ensemble accompanies one of Bali's foremost dancers, who played a central role in the development of mid- and late-20th century kebyar style. The work performed is one of the icons of this style; older and more original versions of this work will be studied, contextualized, and presented in the proposed project.
Part 3:Drum demonstration, presented during a concert at the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts on June 10, 2006.Guest Artists: I Dewa Putu Berata and I Made Arnawa (guest music directors, 2006)
Two of GSJ's guest artists-in-residence demonstrate the complex interlocking techniques of Balinese drumming, which are integral to the kebyar style, which will be studied/preserved in this project. Note that Arnawa (seated on stage right) is the artist-in-residence proposed for the first period of the proposed project.
Part 4: Kebyar Duduk, performed by GSJ's gong kebyar ensemble during its 25th Anniversary Concert at Coventry Grove, Kensington, CA (Oct. 9, 2004). Dancer:Kompiang Metri Davies.
During the 25th Anniversary Celebration GSJ performed this formative early-20th century kebyar-style dance piece. As with Taruna Jaya (see above) older and more original variants of this piece will be studied, contextualized, and presented in the proposed project.
