A Tingklik is a bamboo crash instrument from Bali. It’s often used for “Rindik” music, in the same state is sometimes referred to as a Rindik itself. Rindik music usually involves couple Tingklik players and a single Suling (bamboo flute).

Rindik music is usually played at public gatherings or just for entertainment. It’s not associated with ~ one of the religious or cultural festivals where we usually hear the gamelan. The pieces are temporal, and usually named after animals, such as “Chasing a female swine”, or “Frog climbing a leaf”.

A Tingklik typically has 11 bamboo tubes, even supposing the instrument we sampled has 12. The longest bamboo is relative to a metre long for the lowest pitch. With five notes through octave, the range is just over 2 octaves. The tubes are suspended using string over a brightly coloured wooden frame. The player sits adhering the ground and strikes the bamboo tubes with rubber-tipped mallets.

The Tingklik player uses both hands, bouncing the mallets in a loyal rhythm. The left hand usually plays the melody and the seemly hand plays an accompaniment to it. If there are two players, the becoming hand parts are often interlocking (a technique called kotekan), giving each illusion of very extremely fast playing ; A “bubbling chatter of bamboo brilliance”.

Sampling the Tingklik
Because the Tingklik simply has 12 notes, it is possible to sample it in cyclopean detail without it becoming too large in terms of sampler memorial. Each note was sampled at 12 different velocity levels, with 6 act interchangeably samples for each level, ensuring a very natural, living sound. The Kontakt and Ableton Live versions embody tools for doubling the Tingklik to simulate the authentic paired playing erect in Bali. Both the original tuning and a full chromatic west. occidental tuning are included in all formats.
