    The Tones of Bangle
    (2023-06-29) Leibovic, Daniel; Chen, Shih-Hui
    This piece presents a conflict between gamelan music and forces that prevent it from fully emerging. The gamelan music is based on themes played by the ensemble of Bangle, Bali in their original composition and performance of “Tabuh Kreasi Baru” recorded in 2011 by the Ethnographic Museum of Geneva. I imagine some powerful energy from Bangle lingering around primordial metals. There is a conflict between the raw, unyielding metals and the Bangle spirit. The gamelan ideas try to bloom, but the resonating objects are heavy, disobedient, and vexing.
