PGM 1152 : "GAMELAN PLUS"
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
DESCRIPTION : the bronze-age soundworld of Indonesia in the west
=--------------------------------------------------------------------=
GENRE(s) : Contemporary Instrumental, Southeast Asian/Indonesian

FEED DATE : 7-14-17

INTRO : Of all the exotic musical cultures in the world, few have been able to charm western composers like the gong/chime music of Indonesia. The magical island of Bali, with its unique Hindu-influenced artistic tradition, has been particularly seductive.

In the mythology of the Javanese people, the metallophonic music of Indonesia was created by the native bronze-age culture almost two thousand years ago. The legendary god-king who ruled Java needed a way to summon the other gods, so he invented the gong. Later, he added other gongs, and thus began the gamelan orchestra. The current form evolved in the royal courts of Java in the 12th century.

Today the gamelan includes gongs, metallophones and xylophones, plus drums, bamboo flutes, spike fiddles, and other instruments. Western composers have added additional percussion instruments, strings, bass guitar, electronics and other modern elements to the traditional gamelan ensemble.

On this transmission of Hearts of Space, the new sound of the gamelan in the west, on a program called GAMELAN PLUS.
