Tenget Gamang - I Gde Agustina Yoga Putra

Gamang is a type of supernatural being with an indistinct form that inhabits rivers or other secluded places. The term also describes a condition that is unstable, shaky, or full of uncertainty, both physically and emotionally. In a spiritual context, this term is often used to reflect the search for inner balance, which is an important tenet (tenget) of Agama Hindu Bali. This work transforms these ideas into music. The melody and instrumentation, for example, convey the context of another realm, and traditional instruments, such as selonding and gong, serve not merely as accompaniment, but represent reinterpretations of activities in another, invisible dimension that is often overlooked by ordinary perception. Overall, the sounds and tones highlight the essence of other-worldly nuances, creating a musical experience that is simultaneously transcendent and contemplative.
