Ember labs shares what Sony’s upcoming hardware allowed the team to do with their first big game.Our collaboration with the Balinese ensemble Gamelan Çudamani was a very special experience. Jason Gallaty, our composer, has done an amazing job and we couldn't be happier with the game's soundtrack.
Here are the original lyrics to The Woodsmith, featuring Çudamani with translation.
Kidung Somya (Purification Kidung)
by Dewa Berata
Pemargin sang Ayu luwih
(the journey of a magnificent woman)
Dharma laksanane suci
(the task she undertakes is divine)
Ngewaliang saha urip
(bringing peace to the spirits)
Mangda mangguh
(in order to attain)
Genah sane llintang becik
(a space of harmony)
