Gamelan Culture

The Gamelan is a combination of musical instruments that originated in Indonesia. Most Gamelan instruments are percussion instruments and most are made of bronze. They include xylophone-like metal instruments of different sizes and pitches, tuned brass bells, very large gongs, and a variety of drums and percussion instruments. There are many types of Gamelan ensembles, but the two dominant types are Javanese and Balinese. The Balinese kameran has a signature "shimmering" sound, which is due to the fine tuning of pairs of instruments playing the same section.

Although Gamelan music is centuries old (there is evidence of musical instruments as early as 800 AD), it is still an active form of music in Indonesia and is gaining popularity in the West. Styles continue to evolve and new forms of gamelan music are emerging. The Balinese "Gong Kebyar", a particularly ornate style, dominated for most of the centuries, and is probably the most famous form of Balinese export music.

Gamelan music places great emphasis on the collective, and has been described as "a negotiation between musicians". Many musicians play intertwined parts in which two instruments alternate playing the same notes. This technique allows the orchestra to play very fast sections.
