Kantilan Karangan (2008) for 5 players
pno, e pno, glock, vibes, mar
Duration: c 5 minutes
The title is taken from two Balinese words: ‘kantilan‘ refers to the intricate patterns or ‘flower passages’ in Balinese gamelan, whilst ‘karangan‘ describes a piece of work which is assembled or constructed. The technique of interlocking parts is an important feature of Balinese music, for there are two ‘voices’ that run in counterpoint – two different rhythms, positive and negative, that fit together to form an unbroken swift arabesque.
First performed by Sound Affairs at St Donats Arts Centre on 17 February 2008 with Semra Kurutaç (piano), Kate Halsall (electric piano); Hugh Wilkinson, Dave Danford, Nick Baron (percussion)
