Teruna Jaya (gamelan animated graphical score)
May 17, 2024 4:21 PM   Subscribe

Stephen Malinowski is a youtuber who makes animated scores, usually of Bach's music, but today I discovered something completely different: his spectacular score for Teruna Jaya, a classic of Balinese gamelan music (12 min.).

He collaborated with Augustine Esterhammer-Fic, who published his own video, the story of this multi-year dream project (17 min.). It includes a backgrounder on gamelan music, an analysis of Teruna Jaya, and a description of his process of transcribing the piece to MIDI, from which Malinowski created the animation.

I hope people enjoy the music, visuals, and story, but if gamelan music isn't your thing, please feel free to move on without comment.
