The suite chic was present on both nights of Gamelan Shokbreaker, reveling in the loungy sounds of the Sundanese ensemble mixed with electronica beats, western flute and the trumpet.
The highlight of both evenings were the virtuostic drumming displays, as well as the effortless vocals and dancing by Euris. And not forgetting, the refreshing gong solo on the second night of the performance. One feels however, that the electronica was overdoing it a bit...after a while, all those bass beats lull you to sleep. But no one's complaining...however, could someone tell the suite chic what the trumpet was doing?! There didn't seem like there was any clear melodic direction, almost as if he was wiffling his way through. Argh. Help.
Oh well, Gamelan Shokbreaker was still a shiok-maker for this suite chic. Just next time, do her a favour..no trumpets-that-don't-make-no-sound please.
