Collaborations With Other Artists
Along with performing Balinese music and dance, the group has produced a number of cross-cultural collaborations. For example, GSJ commissioned the creation of a new score to the 1935 silent film, Legong: Dance of the Virgins, performing with the Club Foot Orchestra. A DVD of the film with this new score was released in 2004. Since 2005, Sekar Jaya and some of its members have been collaborating with the artist and musician collective The Residents on many of their live shows and albums such as "Dollar General", "Animal Lover" and "Bridegroom of Blood - Gamelan collection." In 2011, GSJ and I Made Moja collaborated on a multimedia performance piece that that fused music, dance, and other traditional art-forms of Bali, notably wayang kulit, Balinese shadow-puppetry.

Famous quotes containing the word artists:
“The machines that are first invented to perform any particular movement are always the most complex, and succeeding artists generally discover that, with fewer wheels, with fewer principles of motion, than had originally been employed, the same effects may be more easily produced. The first systems, in the same manner, are always the most complex.”
—Adam Smith (1723–1790)
