Balinese Gamelan Music

When we stayed in Bali, the guest house we were in had a gamelan band that practiced on a regular basis. This was a great opportunity to record their music.

This is not from Bali. Balinese Galelan changes tempo greatly over the process of the song. It also has a good deal of space. This isn't that. this is more than likely from Java, which would make sense due to it's SLOW stable tempo. it DOESN"T slow down however, i clicked it on my met/.

Sorry good music thoughl.

actually it is Bali and performed by local and native Balinese when I was in Ubud in Bali...this particular piece may have a Javanese influence, I don't know and it's not really important or relative, but these are native Balinese playing their gamelan instruments

@skunkyfarts "Balinese Galelan changes tempo greatly over the process of the song." So does this. Are you telling me that you can't hear that the tempo changes??
