Gamelan music - Acoustic drum and bass !

in #music8 years ago

This is one of my favorite videos on youtube! This ensemble is unique from any other in the world. They use different size gamelans, gongs, cymbals, drums and flutes. Sometime there are sting instruments and singers, but in this particular video there are non of those. The gamelan is a traditional instrument from Indonesia made out of bronze and played with a hammer/mallet and damped with one hand. It comes in different size/octaves and it is tuned to the specifics of each region. The people of Bali and Java developed their own music notation system.
