THE DEFINITIVE COLLECTION
Soniccouture Balinese Gamelan II is revered among composers. Featuring two full ensembles, it is by far the most authentic and complete sampling of gamelan available.

Over 30 different instruments were recorded in great depth to capture the living, breathing sound & dynamics of gamelan:
– Semaradana Gamelan Ensemble (LSO, London)
– Gamelan Batel Ramayana (Toronto)

CINEMATIC RESONANCE
The pulsing, resonant tones of Balinese Gamelan II can bring unsettling moods to unexpected places.

One of our favourite examples of this is in S4 E3 of Breaking Bad. Composer Dave Porter is a long time user of our instrument.

Walter White contemplates his secret lab as the gamelan gongs and jegogs throb forbodingly in the background.

GAMELAN CULTURE
Gamelan is an ensemble of instruments originating from Indonesia. The majority of Gamelan instruments are percussive, and most of these are bronze. They include xylophone-like metallophones of different sizes and pitch, tuned gong chimes, very large pitched gongs, and an assortment of drums and percussion. There are many types of Gamelan ensembles, but the two dominant types are Javanese and Balinese. Balinese Gamelan has a characteristic ‘shimmering’ sound which is due to the detuning of paired instruments playing the same musical part.

Styles keep evolving and new Gamelan music is being written all the time. Balinese “Gong Kebyar”, a particularly flamboyant style, has dominated much of the century and is probably Bali’s most famous export.

Soniccouture Balinese Gamelan II v2.1.0 KONTAKT screenshotGamelan music is very much about the collective – it has been described as ‘a negotiation between musicians’. Many of the musicians play interlocking parts, in which alternate notes are shared between two instruments. This technique enables the ensemble to play incredibly fast passages.
