Sumarsam

    Sumarsam je jávsky hudobník a popredný učenec gamelanu, ktorého celoživotná oddanosť tomuto tradičnému indonézskemu hudobnému umeniu formovala jeho akademickú aj umeleckú kariéru. Jeho hlboké znalosti gamelanu, získané formálnym vzdelaním a dlhoročnou pedagogickou praxou, mu umožnili preniknúť do jeho zložitostí. Prostredníctvom svojho výskumu a prednášok prispel k pochopeniu historických súvislostí a teoretických základov jávskej hudby a analyzoval vnútornú melódiu gamelanu. Jeho práca slúži ako most medzi tradičnými jávskymi hudobnými praktikami a západným akademickým svetom, čím obohacuje globálne chápanie tohto bohatého hudobného dedičstva.
