Sonic Collective Ceramic and Clay Orchestra w/ Tedi Nurmanto [WAV]

Found Sound Nation presents this sample pack of handmade Indonesian ceramic instruments performed by composer Tedi Nurmanto. Recorded at Kosmik Studio in Jetawangi, this pack includes a vast assortment of artisanal pitched and atonal percussion, from delicate sadantana bowls to booming terracotta drums and mesmerizing terranika (ceramic xylophone). Also included are a range of traditional ocarinas, clay flutes and other one of a kind wind instruments, which explore a variety of entrancing Javanese melodies and winding rhythms. 

Tedi Nurmanto is an internationally renowned musician and instrument builder from Jatiwangi, West Java. His compositions center around the ‘sound of soil’ often incorporating large-scale orchestras featuring his handmade clay instruments, alongside gamelan and electronic sounds. He is the lead organizer of Jatiwangi Art Factory, a multimedia arts collective whose artistic practice emphasizes local rural life in relation to land and the terracotta industry. He has led educational workshops and toured internationally with numerous groups including clay music ensemble LAIR.
