about

Bagus Shidqi is a composer in his twenties who is inspired by the traditional arts of his region (Java, Indonesia). He actively produces digital music from his home recording studio. In 2019, he created a YouTube channel called Kamar Studios which presents content about folk music arrangements (Jathilan) created digitally using Virtual Instrument/MIDI technology. Apart from presenting traditional music, he also creatively processes popular music into traditional arrangements digitally. Unexpectedly, what he did actually helped introduce traditional folk arts to national and even international scope.

Musical Style
Bagus reedits traditional folk music which contains several gamelan and modern instruments including Bendhe (kettle gong), Gong, Kendang, Saron, Angklung, and Drum. This type of music is usually used to accompany a popular traditional horse dance called "Jathilan". The scales for this type of music usually use Pelog and Slendro, sometimes including diatonic elements in certain songs. Here, all instruments are arranged digitally using Virtual Instrument (VSTi).
