André Jaume / Sapto Raharjo:Borobudur Suite
|
 Gamelan music can only be compared to two things: moonlight and untamed water. It has all the purity and mystery of moonlight, and is forever changing, just like untamed water.

"La musique du Gamelan n'est comparable qu'à deux choses : la lueur de la lune et l'eau vagabonde. Elle est pure et mystérieuse comme la lueur de la lune et toujours changeante comme l'eau vagabonde." (Claude Debussy)
J'ai pris un plaisir énorme à m'impliquer dans cette musique. Les musiciens indonésiens jouent à tour de rôle de ces instruments différents, si bien qu'il est impossible de dire qui utilise quoi. C'est là une véritable musique de groupe.

It was a real pleasure for me to take part in this music. The Indonesian musicians take it in turns to play the different instruments of the Gamelan, in such a way that it's impossible to tell who's using what. And that's what I'd call a real group music.
