Cudamani ~ The Seven Tone Gamelan

This album presents music by Gamelan Çudamani, one of Bali’s most vibrant new sanggar, or private arts organizations. It was formed by a family of young musicians in the village of Pengosekan, a rich center of gamelan music, dance, painting, and sculpture.
The virtuosic musicians of Çudamani, led by Dewa Putu Berata, play on an unusual type of hybrid gamelan orchestra created in the 1980s. With seven tones rather than the usual five, this gamelan Semarandana allows the freedom to play in unusual modes, derived from older court and ritual gamelan.
Combined with the powerful resources of modern Kebyar style, this special gamelan has inspired Çudamani to create and re-create a wide range of music and dance works from Taruna Jaya, an explosive early 20th century dance to Geregel, a seven-tone instrumental work that has opened entirely new vistas in contemporary gamelan music.
