AWI: Angklung Web Institute center of knowledge and competence of angklung

<<< Welcome to Angklung Web Institute (AWI)! This website is a medium of information exchange about angklung knowledge and competence, especially diatonic angklung in orchestral composition. The Father of Angklung Daeng Sutigna first created the diatonic angklung in 1938. Until now, angklung still has to face many challenges of identity to be acknowledged as one of world’s standard music instruments. One major problem is that there is no firm standard yet in constructing, tuning, forming, playing, and compositing angklung. Another problem is that until today, an angklung music community as a media of education and industrialization of the angklung music hasn’t been founded yet. Through this website we would like to ask you who have a great concern to the development of angklung to pass this piece of information to the world in order to support this developing music instrument. Through this website we would like to convey an angklung-ical activity to an angklung team or community and hopefully someday the industrialization of angklung can be realized. Last, it is our duty to raise our angklung to be appreciated just like the other world’s standard music instruments. Thank you. <<< Welcome to Angklung Web Institute (AWI)!

AWI Angklung FAQ

IS IT NECESSARY TO ADD OTHER INSTRUMENTS IN AN ANGKLUNG ORCHESTRA?

The founding father of angklung, Daeng Soetigna added some other music instruments in the angklung orchestra, according to the genre of the music. The most commonly played additional instruments are accompagnement (along with the co-accompagnement), contra-bass (usually it is picked to indicate the beat, but it is also scrapped), and cymbals. On several occasions the contra-bass can be replaced by bamboo-bass (big bamboo tubes; we hit it to make a bass tone).

A combination of these instruments is sufficient for a good angklung orchestra, according to the concept of Daeng Soetigna.

Picture 1 : Contra / String Bass

Picture 2 : Cymbals

Picture 3 : Bamboo Bass (Hit)

The other instruments can also be played, according to the genre of music and the requirement, as long as they don’t cover the sound and the aesthetic of the music of angklung. Angklung and the additional instruments should be balanced, both in volume and in timbre.
