<![CDATA[Coconut trees play an important role in people's lives in Bali. Coconut trees are very useful for Hindu religious ceremonies in Bali. Starting from coconut tree trunks can be used as material for building houses, coconut fruit can be used as a part of ceremonies and traditional medicine, coconut processed products can be used as coconut oil, and coconut leaves can be used as an offering of Hindu religious ceremonies in Bali. Based on this reality, the composer was inspired to use the coconut leaves as an idea to create a karawitan artwork entitled ''NGULAT''. Ngulat is a wickerwork or woven made of bamboo, pandan, or coconut leaves. The method used in the innovative karawitan artwork "Ngulat" is the method of Alma M. Hawkins divided into three stages: assessment, trial, and formation. The creation process used by the composers is based on Tri Angga structure: pangawit, pangawak, and pangecet. The composer chose Gamelan Semar Pagulingan to transform the idea of coconut leaves wickerwork into a beautiful combination of seven tones in the Semar Pagulingan gamelan with patet selisir and patet selendro alit, which were supported by 13 (thirteen) musicians from the Mekar Seruni Studio in Banjar Sayan Delodan, Wherdi Village Bhuana, Mengwi District, Badung Regency.]]>
