Gong Ibu
TONGTONG Asia · 2021
Malaysian gamelan, composed by the leader of the MonoloQue group, and performed by the Orkes Gamelan Pahang Di Raja ensemble. The first track from the album is slightly seasoned with the sound of an analog synthesizer. Gamelan is a traditional ensemble music of the Javanese, Sundanese, and Balinese peoples of Indonesia, but as seen in the example of this release, gamelan is also found beyond this country. Gamelan is predominantly performed on percussion instruments. The most common instruments are metallophones, played with mallets, and a set of drums called "gendang," which are used as the rhythm section.
