Ellis,,this one not Javanese gamelan but Balinese gamelan. The sound of Balinese gamelan is different from Javanese gamelan. Javanese gamelan has one percussion called "GONG". You can check it. I'm sure you will say " saya suka ini 😂😂
the wave you hear in the resonance is called Ombak, it is an acoustic beating caused by each instrument being tuned in pairs with a 7-10hz difference between them so that when the same note is played on all instrument a wave/vibrato/beating is created. this is specific to Balinese gamelan, other gamelans in indonesia do not this particularity, or it is not has pronounced as in bali (I am artistic director of a professional Balinese gamelan in Montreal Canada, and have trained as gamelan tuner among many other skilled related to playing and teaching Gamelan ;) )
As Balinese, I play this gamelan Bali myself. My position is as the Ugal, the person who sit higher than others as leader. Thank you so much for reacting to our gamelan. There are a few more types that you can check out. 👌🏼
I will say your analysis of a lot of the musician's role and of what's going on is fairly accurate. in Balinese gamelan the two drummers (Kendang) at the front are basically the leader of the ensemble, they make various cues within their pattern that guide the speed and the dynamics, when to switch sections, etc. The player in the center (Ugal) is the secondary leader who leads the xylophone-like instruments and the rest of the group when the drums are not playing. fun fact, the way the higher registered instrument are able to play at crazy speed ( you can find even crazier example online for speed) is because the patterns in those moments are always devided among two instruments, one that plays on beat the other off beat and together they form a resulting melody, this even applies to drum who play their rhythmic pattern in the same way.
Ellis, if you come to Bali, you will feel different, you will say, oooohh this is Bali. You can't find in another place like Bali. But not only in Bali, in another place also have some beauty, but different culture. So....Wellcome to Indonesia. A piece of heaven in earth.
Gamelan Bali itu seperti musik alam ..,kadang Sepoi poi ...kadang cepat ..keras ..lalu melambat ..,dan kadang menghentak .dan break .dan saling bersahutan ...itulah filosopi musik Bali mengikuti mudik alam ciptaan Tuhan...
Do not feel stupid or embarrased. Indonesia has more than 100 cultures each with their own unique languages. I myself as an Indonesian, this is the first time I hear Balinese gamelan. I heard Javanese gamelan many times when I lived in Java Island though 🙂 it was so peaceful. This Balinese sounds like energetic wind chime in nature to my ear. Soo beautiful 💓
Indonesia has thousands of traditional musical instruments and each province has different musical instruments, different regional languages and different customs and cultures, sir.
That is Balinese music and usually combined with dancer. Ellise, come to Indonesia and enjoy our hospitality. 😊 That is one of thousands of Indonesian cultures.
Gamelan is a traditional Javanese, Sundanese, and Balinese music ensemble in Indonesia that has a pentatonic scale in the SALENDRO and PELOG scale systems. Consists of percussion instruments used in karawitan music.
