此工作坊中Samabasunda會分享如何將傳統音樂與現代西方音樂重新fusion，創造獨特的新聲音！團長Ismet Ruchimat是享譽國際的知名作曲家，他所領軍的樂團Sambasunda，以印尼萬隆巽他(Sunda)文化為基礎，90年代末起，將爪哇甘美朗(Gamelan)、峇厘島甘美朗、雅加達流行樂孔蒙、西爪哇Jaipongan，與巴西的森巴(Samba)節奏合一，飆起了印尼跨族群融合樂的風潮。他們將電吉他、電貝斯、小提琴等西方樂器加以運用，以當代西方樂器重新詮釋巽它音樂，創造耳目一新的曲目，風靡全國，頻頻受邀至歐洲巡演。

 

Ismet所做的實驗並非樂種的速成取樣與拼貼，他特別強調作品的藝術性與成熟蘊釀。演奏出令人驚艷的現代音樂。Sambasunda也將於工作坊帶來小型的示範演出，不管是對音樂製作、編曲有興趣，或單純想聽音樂的朋友，歡迎加入我們，顛覆音樂的想像界線！

 

The first workshop of the series is entitled "Fusing Tradition and Modernity," and covers the topic of how to fuse traditional folk music with modern music with a talk given by Sambasunda's bandleader Ismet Ruchimat. This Indonesian ensemble, which has over a dozen members, will also be on stage to offer performances that demonstrate how traditional folk music can be preserved in modern form while maintaining its integrity.

 

Sambasunda is one of the most vibrant and representative examples of Indonesia's musical and cultural diversity. Led by composer/multi-instrumentalist Ismet Ruchimat, the 17-piece band hails from Bandung, the bustling capital and cultural centre of Western Java, more commonly known as Sunda. The Sundanese are the second largest ethnic group in Indonesia with their own unique language and culture.

 

The group updates the lilting sounds of Sundanese gamelan degung and the angklung bamboo instruments by adding elements of Jakarta's kroncong, Sunda's jaipong, Balinese kebyar and the Brazilian rhythm of samba. The classic sounds of the traditional instruments evoke not only past splendour but also the bustling, urban energy of Bandung today: A full sound palette from the deep resonance of the mighty gongs to the silvery eloquence of the suling bamboo flute, complete with a heavyweight percussion section, wild vocal chanting known as senggak and the breathtaking vocal skills of singer Rita Tila.

 

The result is a mesmerizing mix that manages, strangely, to be both relentlessly exciting and languidly tranquil, full of explosive energy and seductive sweetness. Both reassuringly familiar and daringly innovative at home in Bandung, this dazzling new sound continues to impress audiences wherever they are.
