My wonderful year 8 class recently undertook a project of investigating Gamelan music from the Ketjak chorus to understanding the roles of instruments and composing their own! We were limited to Orff Instruments but then with the magic of an Ableton Live Pack (and some filmic ideas) these students adapted their music for a Shadow Puppet play made by their classmates in Indonesian.

Please comment and add your own knowledge of Gamelan. We would all appreciate it!
