I was a member of Marsudi Raras (1993-1994) and I remember that this (Asmaradana) was one of our favourite tunes. No rehearsal was complete without Ladrang Asmaranda, it seems. Francis (kenong) and I used to sing the gerong.
baru kali ini saya mau mengucapkan banyak terima kasih , dengan ada nya gamelan seperti ini tiap hari saya mendengarkan lagu ini sambil kerja enak bener gitu, kalau ada banyak wah makin senang saya sekali lagi saya ucapkan banyak terima kasih.. hidup java
alangkah baguih jika gemalan ini dapat dimainkan semasa hari pekahwinan saya di rumah saya iaitu di melaka,malaysia sebabnya saya suka banar irama ini yg begitu halus rentaknya...
Wonderful. I am a Javanese gamelan player and I am aware of the subtle difficulties in playing harmonious gamelan especially the tricky instruments like kendang, gender and gambang. I am impressed how you guys can master the instruments. I miss the "Anjasmara arimami ..." in this clip. Thanks for posting.
There are recordings from the 1930s of Nyi Bei Mardusari which are quite interesting (coincidentally the gamelan group she sings with is also called Marsudi Raras).
Remen sanget nggih mirengaken Gamelan Jawi wonten in monco nagari (It is fun, isn't it, to listen to Javanese Gamelan while living in a foreign country = Senang sekali ya mendengarkan Gamelan Jawa sementara di luar negeri).
It is astonishing how from birth the majority of us are raised within our cultures listening to a certain genre/style/type of music with idiosyncratic structures/rules and then when we experience music from other cultures around the world, our minds, being used to only our own culture's music, dismiss what we hear as not music, when it most definitely is. I'm just saying, I'm taking an ethnomusicology class, and it has opened my eyes to just how incredibly varied the music of the world is.
Marilah kita Indonesian citizen utk sadar akan budaya kita sendiri, mari kita lestarikan dg memberikan motivasi kpd anak2 kita minimal mengenal gamelan.
I'd say this is a pretty strong argument for it not being lost, pre-internet how many people do you think knew about this type of music. It was available to some extent as I know of a few groups like king crimson that have had some influence from this style of music, but I would argue that it is much more accessible now than before. I would be about four fewer in my number of compositions if not for the internet allowing me to really discover and experience this music.
I am malaysian. For me Malays is getting all those indonesian culture and remix it and call it as malay's. However we, the Dayaks do have our own culture shared with those indo from Kalimantan and always have deep respect for our counterpart from kalimantan and acknowledge that we are part of nomad group of natives who wonder around Borneo before the forming of a Nation.
You can get the higher quality sound files from our web site (Marsudi Raras). The main problem in recording was the museum setting of our 100-yr old gamelan, I have really good gamelan recording from others.
I agree with you. It will be develop as soon as possible as "The Art of Self-Defense", and "The Art of Never Been Sins" I am sorry, I will support you that the art is the art as the independence's field and the audience was the intellectual-duder of art-perfomance.
You want it more? Please open my youtube account (key word: dwija laras SMPN 6 Kediri). Many title of song in some kinds of gending, such as Lancaran, Ketawang, Ladrang, Palaran and Langgam were played by my students of SMPN 6 Kota Kediri (sixth yunior high school of Kediri city) enjoyfully. I have uploaded more than 70 videos since three years ago. Some of them were played by teachers of the school.
Yang salah media TV kita kurang memberikan tempat untuk kesnian kita sendiri, malah kadang dianggap musik kuno sebetulnya ebih kuno lagi musik barat. Padahal gamelan di pelajari oleh mahasiswa di universitas2 terkemuka di dunia sebuat saja UCLE, Berkley, San diago, tokyo, Durham...di Paris. Belanda jerman , Itali, Kanada, UK.....Israel juga ada.
I'm sorry about my comment earlier. I really didn't want to spam the page nor be mean, I just felt that the person who commented about this "not being art" was being unreasonably cruel and not thinking of music with an open mind. Everyone has their own interpretation of what art is-mine is that anything can be an art form, provided it is in fact an expression or impression of something.
so if I told 99% of you that a white kid made this in Ohio you would think it was garbage (which it is) but since it was made in Indonesia everyone here is calling it beautiful what a culture! ( I love foreign music but this sounds like a preschool class was let loose in the music room)
kalian ini yg orang orang Pribumi masa nggak malu sih..(termasuk gw maksudnya) masa kesenian kita yg mbawain orang Bule.. malu dong.. tunjukkan dong ma Bule, bahwasanya kita juga masih perduli dgn kebudaya'an kita..
Hey, PUNK-DUDE or sound-silly UNDERWEAR METAL-DUDE's things, It's for ETHNICOLOGY to appreciate rather than "head-banker" or "head-banger" politician-actor *mripat e belekan apa ya*
WHY DOES MALAYSIA KEEP SAYING WE COPIED THEM! I seriously can't stand that. The language we speak was founded on the Island of Riau in Indonesia. Apaan sih kenapa harus bratam. Indonesia has its own culture period and so does Malaysia though not as diverse as us because of the lack of land and abundance of Immigrants.
so it true then, u indonesian also the ame sana sini, flores itu jawa... ckp,, sama mcm kami melaka itu terengganu... kan tidak sama kamu ada sunda...kebudayaan kami tidak sama bergantung kepada daerah seperti indonesia.. hai lagu seri sarawak masakan indonesia yang punya tp kami tak kesah pn korang paten
hi ive lived in malaysia for 4 yrs n i can confirm the fact tht malaysia has the tendency to claim indonesian culture eg. the kebaya, the wayang, the gamelan etc,pls keep ur hands off of my country's culture just cuz u dont have any of ur own..im sorry but its getting a bit annoying u guys stealing our culture, while at the same time u shun the indonesians who work n help build ur country,n friggin PLEASE STOP calling us indons, don't forget tht almost every malaysian's ancestor is indonesian..

This is my favourite kind of gamelan. I love the old recordings, say, earlier than 60s, too, because the music has changed dramatically.

I have started learning the Gamelan for my music degree, It is so wonderful to play! I felt so relaxed playing it.
I'm Sundaneese, but Javaneese gamelan is incredible... Love to hear it both... thanks for posting...
Interesting instruments and music, sounds good! Terveisiä Suomesta :)
bangga menjadi orang jawa ternyata temen2 mancanegara menyukai musik gamelan
Ah what a shame. But you're lucky to have it on a CD! Thanks for writing back.
Asmara = Love. Infatuation
Dahana = Flame, Fire
Very beautiful music. I very much enjoy it!
Marilah kita Indonesian citizen utk sadar akan budaya kita sendiri, mari kita lestarikan dg memberikan motivasi kpd anak2 kita minimal mengenal gamelan.
yeah..pretty much love gamelan music
i play almost everything in it.
but really enjoy play "gambang" & "gendang"
interesting history behind them.

walah, ndadosaken lingsemipun sedoyo tiang jawi. awit sedoyo parogo pertelo sanes tiyang jawi,
Anyone amazed at the guy keeping the steady upbeat???
I have not seen them there, they are on a CD that a friend gave me.
A day without gamelan is like a day without oxygen. A bad day of gamelan is better than a good day working. :P
Small typo, Asmaradana instead of Asmarandana, thank you. Excellent! Thank you.
@ryuhinomaru We have rehearsals Saturday 11:30-14:00, and start again January 8. You're always welcome to visit.
Waaa...!! nyenengi banget ya...
Museum Nusantara, Delft, Netherlands. Unfortunately it seems we cannot play the gamelan for the next few months due to the renovation.
salute for you mister....even im javanese i cant play gamelan.......really really embaracing.!!!
I am malaysian. For me Malays is getting all those indonesian culture and remix it and call it as malay's. However we, the Dayaks do have our own culture shared with those indo from Kalimantan and always have deep respect for our counterpart from kalimantan and acknowledge that we are part of nomad group of natives who wonder around Borneo before the forming of a Nation.
Very refined and delicate music
remembering when you were young,
Amazing.
Maturnuwon.
Waaa.... Chinidy xue ba la banget ya matata min mong ming vo bla

And listen the music with the heart, not the mind only.

Gamelan Go Internasional... Hebat !
Yang salah media TV kita kurang memberikan tempat untuk kesnian kita sendiri, malah kadang dianggap musik kuno sebetulnya ebih kuno lagi musik barat. Padahal gamelan di pelajari oleh mahasiswa di universitas2 terkemuka di dunia sebuat saja UCLE, Berkley, San diago, tokyo, Durham...di Paris. Belanda jerman , Itali, Kanada, UK.....Israel juga ada.
This sounds like the one we learned at school, just without the vocals :D
Dit is mooi, ik vind dit leuk
i've got goosebumps, its really mythical..
wow this one is so cool
Sementara generasi muda Jawa pada dangdutan...
@zainudin09: kamu mahu pakai gamelan saat pernikahanmu? undanglah group ggamelan dari indonesia,..di jawa, daerah solo banyak,..pasti murah

Ethnology, perhaps. There so many Institute of Ethnology; the MIT; the AIT
so if I told 99% of you that a white kid made this in Ohio you would think it was garbage (which it is) but since it was made in Indonesia everyone here is calling it beautiful what a culture! ( I love foreign music but this sounds like a preschool class was let loose in the music room)
tak kira anggota groupe The Calling apa QuickSilver *hahaha* asemane
Well, just There Is No Body Preserves to Destroy each others, perhaps.
