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.

Very hypnotic and beautiful.

I got into gamelan via King Crimson, who were highly influenced by the style for their three early 80's albums.

The music has a wonderful melodic over and under tone that is so responsive and a deep layer of expression that seems to float to a higher concousness

But you have to admit, the performances are extremely good and fun to watch, too. Their coordination between instruments is kinda astounding, but maybe I find it that way because I'm in the U.S. where the competition is too great to allow such cooperation. Capitalism!
