Vi King Lim - Description:
Langen Suka is a Sydney ensemble dedicated to the performance of traditional Javanese gamelan. With its interlocking and cyclical melodies and rhythms, Javanese gamelan combines gongs of all sizes, bronze chimes, xylophones, drums and flute with sung poetry evoking the ancient Hindu-Buddhist past of Java. For the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ Art after Hours in association with the 20th Biennale of Sydney, Langen Suka will present a selection of instrumental and vocal pieces ranging from haunting and meditative to thundering and majestic – an hour of music designed to calm the soul and revive the spirit.
