Then the computer sounds develop in a way as to move finally far beyond the expressive power of the kendang. The natural and the synthetic sounds enter in a heavy conflict leading to a climax. The contrast is, however, bridged eventually by fragments of the Javanese music "Subakastawa" in the tender Slendro-9 tuning. The piece was created at Utrecht Muziekcentrum on the 24th of January 1984 with the collaboration of the Javanese kendang player Supangah Rahayu (Paris).
