I wonder if just searching for "Indonesian guitar music/arrangements" would work. Will give it a try.

there's a very inviting indonesian guitar youtube hole out there if you fancy falling down it
sahilin is on the excellent smithsonian indonesian guitars comp, here he is playing guitar accompaniment to a conversation

oddly while working through this thread i too had the urge to try to find indonesian guitar stuff, by looking up track titles from various compilations to see if there are other versions. i didn't have a huge amount of luck, but down the rabbit hole i did find this guy who perhaps could be doing with a better sound environment but i enjoyed it anyway

nice! what comps were you looking at besides the smithsonian? there must be some sublime frequencies stuff...
― ogmor, Monday, 10 February 2014 18:23 (ten years ago) link
my first urge was to try to find guitar renditions of the stuff from the original folkways music of indonesia album, especially 'sorban palid' as that is the best music ever but tragically truncated. i found a couple of versions of that piece, neither were especially striking, but i may just continue down that path and see where it takes me anyway.

There are lots of great videos under the label "early african guitar" -- a label I don't really understand but whatever
― Burt Stuntin (Hurting 2), Monday, 10 February 2014 18:34 (ten years ago) link
yeah i think the early african guitar videos are from footage taken by austrian gerhard kubik - http://www.afropop.org/wp/8638/africa-and-the-blues-an-interview-with-gerhard-kubik/"> http://www.afropop.org/wp/8638/africa-and-the-blues-an-interview-with-gerhard-kubik/ i posted the mwenda jean bosco one upthread, they're all worth a watch tho

yeah the sape is apparently from kalimantan/borneo, ppl playing sape stuff on guitar doesn't really work imo but the sape sounds great
i don't think i need to play thread police. there is enough similar non-guitar stuff to fill another thread but anything at all related i'd definitely stick here

superb, C18th pieces played on a cittern in an edinburgh study is, as far as i'm concerned, exquisite. those pieces are great, last one especially. cittern's seem a bit undignified to play tho.

wondering if you know of more guitar pieces in just intonation... i really love lou harrisons nek chand stuff
― global tetrahedron, Friday, 7 November 2014 20:40 (nine years ago) link
what is just intonation? i've heard that mentioned once or twice
― punk rocketeer (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 7 November 2014 20:44 (nine years ago) link
hard to explain b/c there's a decent amount of theory i don't quite grasp but basically in just intonation the notes on the scale are each separated via the same interval- whereas in western tonality there are differing amounts of intervals between notes in any given key. sort of tied to modal theory, like instead of paying attention to key you're paying more attention to the intervals you're playing.

that's rad, the only krar player I've heard before is kassa tessema, who I really like, but this guy's strumming style is really different and I think mb the instrument itself looks smaller
― ogmor, Wednesday, 5 September 2018 18:40 (five years ago) link
yeah you can't see it very well, it looked maybe home made? the body looked like the same material as a solid body electric guitar, and he had a humbucker in it
i ended up doing a show w/him (and global i think?) anyway haven't seen him since but yeah his whole set was great, really hypnotic
