This is my favourite kind of gamelan. I love the old recordings, say, earlier than 60s, too, because the music has changed dramatically.

There are recordings from the 1930s of Nyi Bei Mardusari which are quite interesting (coincidentally the gamelan group she sings with is also called Marsudi Raras).

[Miss Konami]

Are the 1930 Nyi Bei Mardusari recordings on youtube by any chance?

[Geert Jan van Oldenborgh]

I have not seen them there, they are on a CD that a friend gave me.

And listen the music with the heart, not the mind only.

[Hendry Hendry]

I agree with you. It will be develop as soon as possible as "The Art of Self-Defense", and "The Art of Never Been Sins"

I am sorry, I will support you that the art is the art as the independence's field and the audience was the intellectual-duder of art-perfomance.

Ethnology, perhaps. There so many Institute of Ethnology; the MIT; the AIT
