it strongly evoked a kaleidoscope and an antique shop, for some reason.
don't worry, i like kaleidoscopes and i respect antique shops.
but really, i gotta get some gamelan. it would be killer stoner music.
but don't worry, i don't smoke weed.
but seriously, i don't. and i do want some of this antique kaleidoscope music.
OH! IT'S LIKE NEEDLES!
but don't worry, i like needles.

However, sometimes there are lots of audience who doesn't know about music at all, comes there to watch and gives inappropriate responses to what are going on. Those are audiences who doesn't have understanding to the arts.

You know, that is the fact how the Balinese audiences are. We, Balinese, wasn't bothered with all of that. Both of you are right!! Balinese audience just loves to express their impression directly when there are something good or bad that are going on in the stage. Especially in the Gong Kebyar Competition.

Understandably, there may be some gamelan musicians who might be bothered to a certain extent. However, according to Wayne Vitale in his CD featuring Pak Windha's works, the players must "maintain a high _mental_ (attitude) in the face of screaming and sometimes malicious spectators". In other words, if a musician is so freaked out by this charged atmosphere, it's better for him/her to quit. So it's not the most ideal environment - but it's there anyway. They just have to deal with it.

SiKedek is right but wrong. Yes, Gamelan musicians like to have feedback and yes they would hate a silent audience. HOWEVER, when they perform in competitions and to their own people, the response is appropriate and relates to what they are hearing. This audience would whoop and holler is someone came out and made farting sounds. There is no understanding or discernment in their response. The Audience noise is just for their own amusement and to impress their friends, not to show understanding. |
