Insect Trainers are a gamelan-inflected dream folk duo based in London, UK.

Insect Trainers is a duo formed of two composers, instrumentalists and song writers, Victoria Major and Nick Gray. We use two Balinese gendér wayang gamelan instruments along with guitar, violin, keyboards and vocals to create a web of urban dream folk with postminimalist, surrealist tendencies. With a name conjured from a phrase in a Chloe Aridjis novel, Insect Trainers invites you to worlds of magic animals, sonic vibrations and Swedenborgian correspondences.

Gendér wayang is the name given to a small group of bronze metallophones used in Bali to accompany shadow puppet plays and ceremonies.
