NOTES: Kebyar Untai is scored for amplified cello and hammered dulcimer, tuned in microtones and partially prepared with objects between the strings. It is cast in two large sections, each introduced by a kebyar and developing its distilled material. A kebyar (literally "lightning" in Indonesian) is a structure in Balinese gamelan music distinguished by explosive unison passages. Many of the gestures are conceived as persistent actions attempting to overcome or smooth a resistance.
