Buddhist Music in Indonesia: the Gamelan

by Berg through Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell II, opensourcebuddhism.org
Scholarly, well-researched piece for sure. In this we learn of the tonal complexity and history of Balinese (and Javanese) Gamelan. The number of diverse cultures contributing to its formation is astonishing. I knew only a little prior to viewing this one, but after, there was more than I could take in. requires more than one viewing but well worth it. Narration along with this detailed and organized content and superb illustrative visuals and numerous examples of Gamelan music place it among the best. (16 mins)

It's not Hindu Tamil that Balinese follow, but it is a Majapahit Shiva-Buddhism that we follow. I am a balinese actually, so arnotkaling stop bullshitting lol

What is the difference between noise and music? Certainly this segment begs the question.

It would be nice if I could actually hear the lecture and the music separate.

Bali is a Hindu island brought by Hindu Tamils. NOTHING TO DO WITH BUDDHISM. again more lies.
