Supercozi and Zen Lemonade also produced a number of downtempo songs featuring gamelan sounds, as well as an ambient album ‘ Music for a Rainy Season ‘, about the rainy season in Bali, which is still a favourite with ambient music fans worldwide.
Bali is an island of creative spirits for a long long time, and local Balinese had been devoting their time and energy to maintain their unique tradition and it’s craftsmanship in one of the kind style.
Also Bali has a large community of creative expats / travelers ( Many of them moved from Goa, Ibiza, etc ) since 70’s hippie era. It didn’t take too long for Cozi to formed an artistic circle of close friends around her – Fashion & Jewelry & Interior designers who closely working with Balinese craftsman, Painters, Artists, DJs & Musicians, Writers, Travel photographers, Chefs, Landscape designers, Anthropologists and beyond. Naturally she collaborated with many of them, sound design for fashion shows and art galleries, producing bespoke CDs for resorts and spas, and documentary films about Balinese culture or life style videos .. Her 15 years island life had been filled by endless inspirations from those friends and Bali’s original culture and nature.

スーパーコージは2002年9月、オーストラリア出身の音楽プロデューサーで、2000年から2016年にかけて夫であったガス・ティルことスリンキー・ウィザード(音楽ユニット「ゼン・レモネード」のメンバー)、そして赤ん坊のアシャンティとともに、イギリスからバリ島(神の島)に移住した。彼女の島暮らしは16年続いた。
彼らは最初の9ヶ月をウブドで過ごした。ウブドはバリの伝統文化の中心地で、古代王政の王と王妃が今も宮殿に住み、村人たちは青々とした田園に囲まれた何百ものバリ・ヒンドゥー寺院でガムラン音楽を演奏し、伝統的なバロンダンスを毎日踊っていた。ウブドでの静寂な日々の後、彼女はトレンディなバーやクラブ、ブティックで賑わうスミニャックに移り、2002年にオープンしたばかりだった、今や世界的にも有名なビーチフロント・ベニューKUDETAのレジデントDJとして2003年に働き始め、そのレジデンシーは彼女がバリ島を去るまでの実に15年間に及んだ。
As soon as she settled into a villa in Seminyak with family, music production got back into the daily routine at a shared studio with Till.
In 2009, she built a tiny home studio ‘ Super Cocoon ‘ where she can marvel jungle garden view to continue her life’s work in the years to come.

スーパーコージがバリを愛した理由のひとつは、創造性がバリの人々の生活様式の大部分を占めているからだった。彼女は当時の日記にこう記している。
[ 何百万もの寺院で、彼らは1日に5回、エレガントな手の動きで「オフリンー供え物」と呼ばれる神々への小さな有機的な贈り物を置く。小さな家庭の寺院から大きな寺院まで、あるいは数え切れないほどの家の入り口の門、クロスロード、村のあらゆる大きな木々……どの寺院や家も、特別な儀式(ウパチャラ)の日には、ペンジョールやラマック(竹、ヤシの葉、花などで作られた有機的な装飾)によって美しく飾られる。そして、バリの人々が伝統的な衣装に身を包むと、突然、周りの空気が幻想的で、演劇的で、美しいものに変わるのです。古代のアニミズムの時代から続くシャーマニズムは、今でも人々の信仰の一部であり、時にはスミニャックの真ん中の賑やかな通りでさえも、シャーマニズムを見ることができる。
満月の夜、午前2時になると、私の家からわずか30秒しか離れていない場所で、トランスダンスの儀式が行われる。マンクー(ヒンドゥー教の高僧)の前で輪になって踊る村の人々。恍惚とした村の女性たちが、お香を焚く煙の中で叫び声を上げる。こうした真夜中のトランス・セレモニーは、ヒイラギのナイフで自分の体を刺すふりをする村のリーダーたちの劇的な動きによって、いつも最高潮に盛り上がる。儀式が終わると、すべてが元通りになり、異界への扉が一瞬閉じられる。
稲作農家の中には、仕事の合間や仕事の後に、自宅や涼しい石の床のあるちょっとした休憩所で毎日絵を描いている人もいる。小さい頃から年配になるまで木彫りや石彫りに励む村人もいる。町や村の隅々には、ガムラン楽団や男性によるダイナミックなケチャダンスグループ、女性や子供によるバリ舞踊グループがあります。夜になると、村人たちは一緒になって生涯の芸術の練習に明け暮れるのです。]
スーパーコージとゼン・レモネードは、ガムランの音色をフィーチャーしたダウンテンポの曲を数多く制作したり、世界中のアンビエント音楽ファンに今でも愛される、バリ島の雨季をテーマにしたアンビエント・アルバム『雨季のための音楽』もリリースした。
バリ島は長い間、クリエイティブな精神が息づく島であり、地元のバリ人たちは、独自の伝統と、唯一無二のスタイルの職人技を維持するために、時間とエネルギーを注いできた。
また、バリには70年代のヒッピー時代からクリエイティブな外国人旅行者のコミュニティがあった。画家、アーティスト、DJ、ミュージシャン、ライター、旅行写真家、シェフ、ランドスケープデザイナー、人類学者や、バリの職人やワーカー達と共に仕事をするファッション&ジュエリー&インテリアデザイナーたちだ。ファッションショーやアートギャラリーのサウンドデザイン、リゾートやスパのための特注CD制作、バリ文化やライフスタイルを紹介するドキュメンタリー映画など、彼女は多くの人々とコラボレートを重ねた。
彼女の16年にわたるアイランドライフは、そうした友人たちやバリ独自の文化や自然からの限りないインスピレーションで満たされていた。
