Javanese Gamelan
Knobbed-Gong based orchestras used to accompany Shadow Puppet performances. Integral to the style and feel of this tradition.
Gamelan Performance (Sari Raras)
Gamelan Performance (Pelog Barant). (Pelog is one of the two Javanese Scales: Pelog and Slendro)
A huge library of notated gamelan scores. (Note these scores are in traditional notation, so specific pitches are not represented. Instead, they are represented by a number that indicates the position in the allocated scale. They describe a combinatoric progression through a melody, and so the name of the melody determines the actual pitches)
