Gede Malik NEW
Bali Barong (Disjuncta - 000005) 1974, France

This LP was recorded by Jean-François Bizot (founder of Actuel magazine and Radio Nova independent radio) during the shooting of his film ‘La Route’ in 1972 in Bali. The technical team recorded Gede Manik, the world famous kebyar-style gamelan composer and choreographer in Jagaraga, the most important musical center of North Bali. The liner notes by Bizot quotes from Artaud Theater Of Cruelty. If you’re familiar with kebyar gamelan, you know what to expect: ultra fast gamelan percussion with occasional flute. This was recorded during an informal setting with Gede Manik conducting.
