    Tripataka's second album is a double compact disc, featuring guest artists Daryl Pratt and Amos Roach.

    “Gliese 667C” is a journey through different territories – not just created by the visitations of the musicians as they consider such traditions as Bali, West Africa, India and Morocco – but musical territories that are innovative and beyond geographic border. These are fresh and new, and the musicians’ excitement is palpable as the listener accompanies their pathfinding discoveries. Like its cosmic namesake, this album forges into a place strangely new yet tantilisingly habitable.

about

This piece for quartet was inspired by the Bela Bartok composition “Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta.” The Balinese concept ombak (Indonesian word meaning “waves”) informed the design of the metric, pitch and rhythmic structures. The opening melody, built from a G# tonal axis, is a non-retrogradable rhythmic form which expands and contracts. Kendang tunggal (Balinese barehand solo drumming) hand patterning guided the composition of the rhythmic “chants” throughout this section. These chants, performed by the bass and drums, contract and expand at double the rate of the melody in opposite contour to the melodic form.

A four-part canon is featured in the middle of the composition with the drumset playing the fourth voice in double time whilst punctuating key rhythmic points in the other voices. Temporal and dynamic expression (ombak) typical of Balinese gamelan is utilised collectively and spontaneously in the trombone solo and is featured explicitly in the piece’s composed coda and transitional passages.

Guest artist: Daryl Pratt (vibraphone)
