Brief Background – The music of Gamelan
简要背景-佳美兰音乐

Often translated as “Orchestra”, Gamelan is an ensemble of instruments from Indonesia, typically Java or Bali.
佳美兰通常被翻译为“管弦乐队”，是由来自印度尼西亚的乐器组成的合奏，通常是爪哇或巴厘岛的乐器。

Ensembles can differ significantly, but would be often made up of a combination of metallophones, xylophones, drums and gongs;
合奏可以有很大的不同，但通常是由金属琴、木琴、鼓和锣组成的组合;

bamboo flutes, bowed and plucked strings, or even a vocalist.
竹笛，弓弦和弹拨，甚至主唱。

Each instrument has been built and tuned for playing in that specific ensemble, so tunings can differ considerably between Gamelans.
每一种乐器都是为特定的合奏而制作和调音的，所以佳美兰的调音有很大的不同。

One of the most distinctive aspects of Balinese gamelan is that each instrument is paired, and the pairs are slightly detuned.
巴厘的佳美兰音乐最独特的地方之一是每一种乐器都是成对的，而成对的乐器都有轻微的失谐。

This results in a natural beating between the instruments – perhaps the oldest chorus effect on the planet.
这就产生了乐器之间的自然拍子——也许是地球上最古老的合唱效果。

Culturally, the Balinese Gamelan has strong religious associations, being an integral part of many Hindu ceremonies, as well a focus for secular celebrations and festivals.
在文化上，巴厘岛的加麦兰有强烈的宗教联想，是许多印度教仪式的组成部分，也是世俗庆祝和节日的焦点。

Balinese Gamelan is significantly different from the quieter, more “courtly” style of its Javanese counterpart, perhaps due the differing historical religious climates of the two islands.
巴厘的加美兰与爪哇的更安静、更“宫廷”的加美兰风格截然不同，这也许是由于这两个岛屿不同的历史宗教气候。

Gamelan music is most often characterized by its bright, metallic, percussive qualities, its distinctive and complex tuning, the rich layering of instruments, and its cyclical form.
佳美兰音乐最常见的特点是其明亮的，金属的，打击的性质，它独特而复杂的调音，丰富的乐器层次，和它的循环形式。

The instruments themselves are often beautifully crafted – traditional Indonesian thinking sees the gamelan as sacred, with a belief that each instrument is guided by spirits.
这些乐器本身往往制作精美——传统的印尼人认为佳美兰是神圣的，相信每一种乐器都是由神灵引导的。

BALINESE GAMELAN – The Instrument
巴厘的佳美兰-乐器

The instruments in this release were sampled from the London Symphonic Orchestra’s Semara Dana Gamelan Ensemble in exacting detail.
这次发行的乐器都是取自伦敦交响乐团的Semara Dana Gamelan合奏团。

The lengthy process ensured that the living, breathing sound lost none of its realism thanks to the painstaking recording of numerous velocity layers – a true labor of love by Soniccouture.
漫长的过程确保了活着的，呼吸的声音失去了它的真实性感谢无数速度层的辛苦记录-一个真正的劳动的Soniccouture的爱。

This instrument features three essential elements of the larger Gamelan ensemble, focussing on compact versions of the tuned instruments, the big gongs, the paired metallophones and the kettle gongs.
