Balinese Gamelan on the Bass Piano

"Gambangan"
Colin Mcphee's Balinese Ceremonial Music - Piano Transcriptions (1940)
Played by Robyn Jacob and George Rahi on the 'Bass Piano', an instrument created by Andrew Wedman in 2016 as part of the Western Front's series 88 Tuned Bongos. Wedman, a musician and piano technician, tuned the piano down a full octave to A220, creating a unique tonal quality comparable to carillon bells and steel drums.
Recorded at the Hadden Park Fieldhouse, Vancouver on January 5th, 2017.

The high pitch notes got the timbre sounding amazingly similar to the gamelan

[@Usual821]

1:57 I feel so much listening to this part through the end. It’s hard to describe but it truly strikes me.

[@kriast]

didn't expect a piano could sound that close to gamelan 😲

[@dirmanbw336]

Seperti nya ini memang suara gamelan asli, yg dimasukkan ke instrumen piano. Jadi tetap gamelan asli, hanya saja tidak dipukul

[@qp4590]

@@dirmanbw336 bukan, nada pianonya diturunin jauh banget (satu oktaf, jadi senarnya sangat longgar), jadi warna nadanya berubah.

[@sekar9901]

​​@@dirmanbw336ini piano, bukan keyboard. 😅
Piano ada string2 kayak gitar didalemnya, harus setel/ tuning juga nadanya.

I love this I always get stuck trying to figure out music but it really helps to see it played

[@kokkeeboon]

Beautiful sounds.

[@stephenweigel]

Wow!!! Finally, someone put the beats within the timbre of the notes themselves! :D

[@Planthier76]

Amazing. I imagine that you neef to play with slight differences between the 3 strings of each notes to get this timbre

[@yoanitadharmawan]

Hi !! From #Malang #EastJava 💗

[@didinhrd6111]

are you using microtonal tuning?

[@Adam105001]

Its pelog

[@michael18276]

...and the string of the lowest key A0 isn't sloppy?

[@dne1869]

What's the title of the piece?

[@rainbowrotcod]

the title is Gambangan. there is information about the piece in the video's description.

[@zzasdfwas]

Time signature?

[@YambamYambam2]

Not exactly an answer to your question, but I think Indonesian music uses a different concept for timings. They also (or should I say we? maybe haha) layer all kinds of rhythmic patterns on top of each other to create a "greater" effect of flowing music... ;)
Check out this super helpful video by JJ Riordan! :)

[@JustFiddler]

[@ranatha]

Out of tune

[@user-zo8nl9be5l]

it's supposed to be tuned differently, that's the whole point

[@Neris-of-the-other]

Pelog tuning system uses different intervals, so it might sound out of tune if you're not used to hearing pelog music
