Gending Musik Jawa (Gamelan Jawa) - Javanese Gamelan
The gamelan is a musical ensemble from Indonesia, typically from the islands of Bali or Java, featuring a variety of instruments such as metallophones, xylophones, drums and gongs; bamboo flutes, bowed and plucked strings. Vocalists may also be included. The term refers more to the set of instruments than to the players of those instruments. A gamelan is a set of instruments as a distinct entity, built and tuned to stay together - instruments from different gamelan are generally not interchangeable. The word gamelan comes from the Javanese word gamels, meaning "to strike or hammer", and the suffix an, which makes the root a collective noun. It is mostly played by traditional people.

Gamelan Bali (Balinese Gamelan) - Traditional Music
Bali Island is one of the thousands islands constructing the Indonesian Archipelago that has long been famous as a leading tourist destination in South Pacific or even in the world for its exotic and vibrant art and culture, natural beauties and the hospitality of the people. Balinese Gamelan music is similar to Javanese Gamelan music. The music is in cycle too, however, it is usually faster. One of the characteristic of Balinese gamelan music is that, it has a lot of sudden changes in tempo and dynamics. Like the Javanese gamelan, the instruments in Balinese gamelan includes metallophones and gongs. However, there are more metallophones than gongs in Balinese gamelan. The metal keys in Balinese metallophones are ticker than those of Javanese. These Balinese metallophones produce very bright sound. Another characteristic of Balinese Gamelan music is the used of cymbals. These cymbals create fast rattling sound that usually cannot be found in Javanese Gamelan music.

Sounds of Sunda: The Gamelan
'Gamelan' refers to a set of predominantly percussion instruments including tuned gongs, metal-keyed instruments, drums, as well as bamboo flutes, bowed lutes, and vocals meant to comprise a single system. Gamelan comes in many forms on the islands of Indonesia. Emory Gamelan specializes in the West Javanese music and was formed in the autumn of 2007 as part of the World Music Program in the Music Department, making Emory one of only a handful of institutions in the United States with both West and Central Javanese gamelan. Emory is one of five institutions in the United States chosen as recipients of a gamelan degung donated by Tony Lydgate, a bamboo horticulturalist residing in Kauai, Hawaii. The donation was coordinated by Andrew Weintraub. As a part of this gift, Emory participates in the University Gamelan Artists-in- Residence Program created in 2002 by Andrew Weintraub, which brings artists from West Java to the United States.

Balinese Gamelan - Kebyar style (Bali Arts Festival 1997)
Some more footage from the 1997 Bali Arts Festival in Denpasar Indonesia. It's interesting to me hearing the difference in tunings between this group and the other ensemble clip I posted. I'm sorry I don't know the name of this very talented all female ensemble. They were terrific. Here is a desricption of the gong kebyar style from wiki: en.wikipedia.org Gamelan gong kebyar is a modern style or genre of Balinese gamelan music. Kebyar means "the process of flowering", and refers to the explosive changes in tempo and dynamics characteristic of the style. It is the most popular form of gamelan in Bali, and its best known musical export. Gong kebyar music is based on a five-tone scale called pelog selisir (tones 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 of the 7-tone pelog scale), and is characterized by brilliant sounds, syncopations, sudden and gradual changes in sound colour, dynamics, tempo and articulation, and complex, complementary interlocking melodic and rhythmic patterns called kotekan.

The collective was formed in Montreal, Quebec, in 1994 by Efrim Menuck (guitar), Roger Tellier-Craig (guitar), Bruce Caudron (drums), Aidan Girt (drums), Mauro Pezzente (bass), Thierry Amar (bass), Norsola Johnson (cello), Sophie Trudeau (violin), and David Bryant (guitar, tapes). That year's "All Lights Fucked On The Hairy Amp Drooling" was a cassette-only release, with a print run of just 33 copies and, notably featured track titles such as "Revisionist Alternatif Wound To The Haircut Hit Head" and "Perfumed Pink Corpses From The Lips of Ms Dion". Portentous by more than one definition, the collective creates romantically pessimistic music that is pretentiously weighty and full of unspecifiable significance. Finding the world we live in "lost, violent and obscene", they explore eschatological concerns through atmospheric, apocalyptic rock. Importantly, their music is under-pinned with political intent (although they claim to encompass disparate opinions and standpoints). Unusually for such a politically-motivated band, Godspeed You <b>...</b>

Gamelan Cahaya Asri
Gamelan Cahaya Asri directed by I Dewa Ketut Alit Adnyana Sunday, May 8, 2011 Lawrence University Memorial Chapel About gamelan: The term 'gamelan' refers to any of a variety of ensembles of percussion keyed instruments, gongs, drums, and bamboo flutes from several regions of Indonesia. Balinese gamelan gong kebyar is a 20th century genre characterized by sudden dynamic contrasts and complex interlocking patterns. In Bali, gamelan is a central part of daily, social, and religious life, and is performed for a wide variety of secular and sacred events. Musicians and composers do not use sheet music; the music is taught by rote and committed directly to memory, allowing for a high degree of interaction between musicians. There is no single conductor, though the lead drummer will give cues to start and stop and to indicate tempo and dynamics. The entire group responds to cues from the dancer, if there is one. About Gamelan Cahaya Asri (cha-HIGH-ah AHS-ree): This group started in January 2009 as the first active Balinese gamelan in Wisconsin. We are thrilled to debut our new set of gamelan gong kebyar instruments commissioned by Lawrence University in 2010, which just arrived in March 2011. They feature hand-forged bronze gongs and keys, and hand-carved jackfruit wood frames. Students may join by enrolling in MURP 171: Balinese Gamelan Music. The course is open to all students; no previous experience is required. Dewa is also hoping to start a community gamelan open to all <b>...</b>
