WFMU: Observations of Deviance with David Mittleman: Playlist from November 23, 2024

Listener comments!
	5:02pm Observations: WE ARE LIVE!
	5:06pm Observations: Indonesia 🇮🇩
	5:14pm Sam: I can’t seem to find how to listen to your show! I’m desperately looking. Help!
	5:15pm Observations: Click Pop Up
	5:24pm doctorjazz: ↳ Sam @5:14 Hi David!
	5:25pm Sam: I figured it out! This album is from West Java not Bali tho. It’s music to go with Reak dance 🙏🏽
	5:26pm doctorjazz: ↳ Sam @5:14 That's the link to the pop up or mp3 www.radiorethink.com...
	5:43pm chresti: Hieee!
	5:43pm Observations: 😎🙏✌️
	5:45pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Tari Pendet" by "Deben Bhattacharya" "Deben Bhattacharya (1921–2001) was a Bengali radio producer, record producer, ethnomusicologist, anthropologist, documentary filmmaker, photographer, translator, poet, writer, broadcaster, lecturer, and folk music consultant. He produced over 100 records, 23 films and published more than a dozen books in his lifetime"
	6:00pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Colak Colek" by "Elvy Sukaesih" "Dangdut is a genre of Indonesian folk music that is partly derived and fused from Hindustani, Arabic, and, to a lesser extent, Malay, Minangkabau, Javanese, Sundanese and local folk music. Dangdut is the most popular musical genre in Indonesia[ and very popular in other Maritime Southeast Asian countries because of its melodious instrumentation and vocals. Dangdut features a tabla and gendang beat."
	6:03pm Ssoemardi: ↳ doctorjazz @5:26 🙏🏽
	6:06pm wimpy: Aw I should’ve checked my email today, the extra long oods usually go super hard
	6:08pm wimpy: Still got four hours though, so it’s not so bad
	6:10pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Likad" by "Dewa Alit & Gamelan Salukat" “Likad”, written during Covid-19 lockdowns, channels anxiety and uncertainty into musical form, resulting in a piece that, even by Alit’s standards, is stunning in its complexity and the virtuosity it demands of Gamelan Salukat. Its opening section is perhaps most remarkable for its mastery of texture, with rapid transitions between dry, muted strikes and metallic shimmers calling to mind the use of filters in electronic music. At points, the complex irregular repetitions of short melodic patterns, where the music seems to get stuck or be suddenly interrupted by a skip, recall the mad sampler works of Alvin Curran or the skittering surface of prime period Oval more than anything familiar from acoustic percussion music. Moving through a dizzying series of twists and turns, the piece ends with a majestic sequence of chords possessing an almost hieratic power. A major statement from a radical contemporary composer, one cannot help but agree with Alit when he sees Chasing the Phantom as an answer to the “question of the future of Gamelan music”. blacktruffle.bandcamp.com...
	🥁 6:12pm WR: Hi David and folks. Listening but busy on errands so not on screen much.

	6:48pm DMcG: Although my 11 year old says “I don’t like their accelerando” … he’s the musician, not me.
	6:58pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Peperangan Sira Pandji" by "Anonymous" Music of Indonesia Series folkways.si.edu...
	7:07pm --: Henry Cowell composed a lovely, brief trio for recorders based on a common gamelan scale. Per the American Recorder Society, "These modern pieces were written especially for recorders by the well-known American composer. The title of the first piece is 'Pelog', which is the name of the Indonesian five-tone scale on which this piece is based."

Shark Move is one of the Indonesian rock pioneering bands who combined rock music with traditional harmonies and progressive sounds. Some songs on this LP have English lyrics." www.discogs.com...
	7:37pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Danse De Travestis" by "Bugis" “the Bugis people of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Bugis society recognizes five genders. Bissu are androgynous or intersex & revered shamans or community priests. This is the Sere' Lolosu dance of the bissu.”
	7:38pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Danse De Travestis" by "Bugis" ‘All-gendered’ shamans in Indonesia battle to preserve their traditions youtu.be...
	7:39pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Danse De Travestis" by "Bugis" This was going well with the dryer!
	7:43pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Kebjar Teruna" by "Anonymous" www.discogs.com...

	8:43pm Kat in the chat: Oh I closed the laptop a while ago! I didn’t expect to find this as engaging as I have. What’s it like to do a five hour show?
	🥁 8:45pm WR: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:43 David has selected a variety but there is (at least to neophyte like me) a cohesion and a flow.
	8:47pm Kat in the chat: I agree, WR! I’m going back later to catch what I missed at the beginning.
	8:52pm Observations: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:43 Long! lol, takes a lot of prep

	8:59pm Observations: ↳ Song: "Rijanti - Ngatijal - Jatinem" by "Anonymous" "Wayang kulit is a traditional form of shadow puppetry originally found in the cultures of Java and Bali in Indonesia. In a wayang kulit performance, the puppet figures are rear-projected on a taut linen screen with a coconut oil (or electric) light. The dalang (shadow artist) manipulates carved leather figures between the lamp and the screen to bring the shadows to life. The narratives of wayang kulit often have to do with the major theme of good vs. evil."
