Interlocking rhythms in gamelan
Example artist profileRead profile
In Javanese gamelan, bronze percussion overlaps in rhythm and resonance. Kendang guides the pace, connecting the parts of the ensemble.
Instruments & traditions
A gamelan ensemble is heard through the relationships between its instruments. Tuning, pulse and overlapping decays shape how each part fits.
Listening notes
Leave room in a mix for the overlapping decays. Before combining recordings from different ensembles, check their sources and tuning systems.
