Sacred Sounds of Bali || Gamelan Music

First thing in the morning, middle of the day, or quite often in the middle of the night, you can hear Gamelan playing in the distance. This music represents the island.

This is A Deeper Understanding into Gamelan music in Bali beyond just the instruments. How have the instruments changed? How do people change them? How do people feel about modern Gamelan music today?

A special thank you to Vaughan Hatch at Mekar Bhuana Centre for letting me follow you around for a couple of weeks to better understand Gamelan in its entirety. Thank you!

And thank you to Wayan Gunastra—the last person in his village who knows their cak, gendwr wayang and semara pagulingan traditions—for participating in this film.
