#$XXXXX!/#*$ - Seperti Bicara // Bersama Lagi

 

A two-part investigation into microtiming translated through MIDI Balinese gamelan, using samples from the #NAGi group's semar pegulingan set. These tracks are based on vocal and percussion improvisations, with performance details preserved across mediums. Translation was carried out by hand before access to timbre transfer by AI, as part of research into expressive timing.

​

Do we perceive performance subtleties differently when embodied through different instruments? Can expressive timing be a primary compositional material?
