Indah Pagi

Description

Brian Hogg

While much of the indigenous music of Bali is played on percussion instruments, not woodwind & brass as in a concert band, there are certain aspects of the style captured within Indah Pagi. The use of percussion is obviously important but the layered rhythmic patterns and the modal construction of the melodies help give a distinct Balinese flavour.

The narrative of the music is quite simple and straightforward. A quiet morning, sunrise, life and warmth beginning the day. Then a stroll through the villages and rice terraces taking in the sounds of the people at work and children at play, along with the local gamelan.
