Tirta Ning from CrossWorX by Gong Tirta

Adaptation from an original piece by I Wayan Sadra, which he composed specially for Gong Tirta in 1996. 'Tirta' means water, well, also in the meaning of 'holy water'. Tirta Ning is a clear water, in which our true self is reflected and is a symbol of an open mind and heart, which welcomes all new influx without pre-judging.
The composer: "I'm like a leave on the wind, wherever I strike down, all people become my teachers".

We are an Amsterdam-based music ensemble playing Balinese ànd original compositions on our combination of Balinese gamelan kebyar style instruments with synthesizer, drums, guitar, violin and bass. We use musical style techniques from Java (Central/Sunda), contemporary western composition- and improvisation, jazzpop, progrock, mediaeval, folk etc.
