After a four-year hiatus, Black Truffle has released "Baur Bentur," the long-awaited new album by Dewa Alit, one of Indonesia's most innovative gamelan artists, whose debut album (2021) and second album (2022) were both excellent! LP + download code enclosed.

This work is a sparkling rhythmic-psychedelic crash of gamelan polyrhythmic sessions with Dewa Alit's own tuned gamelan instrument with 11 scales designed by Dewa Alit himself, and Indonesian pianist Sri Hanuraga!
This album highlights a new side of his talent, with works composed in 2024 and 2025, and a thrilling exploration of the theme of the title "Baur Bentur" (Mixed Destruction), a deep reflection on traditional Balinese gamelan music and contemporary society, with different cultures from East and West. A sincere attempt is made to explore sound clash between Eastern and Western cultures.
Side-A "Sukat Tacala" (sample1), a profound dialogue between avant-garde jazz piano and gamelan sarkat, with polyrhythmic tempo, time signature, and polyrhythmic research, polyrhythmic gamelan rhythm psychedelia, and dramatic! Side-B "Baur Bentur" (sample2) is a polyrhythmic gamelan rhythm psychedelia dramatic! LP + download code enclosed. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
