Gamelan
Gamelan is an ensemble tradition from Indonesia, built around metallophones, gongs, drums, flutes, voices, and interlocking patterns. Its sound shaped court music, ritual, dance, theatre, and later Western modernist imagination. Gamelan’s layered cycles and shimmering resonance influenced many composers interested in rhythm, tuning, and music as a collective texture.
