Sekat for Gamelan and Bagpipes - Compositions of I.M. Harjito

Gamelan and Bagpipes?! Yes, and it's kind of incredible. I'd suggest listening to the piece all the way to the end, it gets pretty intense.
Played on a gamelan that features court style instruments like a Panembung extra large sized bonang and large Bedhug drum. The gamelan part of the piece is sort of a sekaten style piece.
I.M. Harjito composed this piece for gamelan and Bagpipes in 2001 in collaboration with a bagpipe-playing graduate student at Wesleyan University. This performance was part of the end-of-semester gamelan concert at Wesleyan on December 7, 2006.
