	Gamelan Anak Swarasanti \| Instruments - Angklung
		The angklung orchestra tends to have lighter and more delicate sound than the gamelan gong, but can be just as complex in its interlocking patterns and interweaving melodies, and hypnotic, repeating loops.
		Gamelan instruments in general are considered sacred and are treated with the utmost respect.
		The gongs are considered the spiritual heart of the gamelan, providing the foundation pulses that anchor the rest of the ensemble and the markers that denote the end of one major cycle and the next - this has been compared with the cycle of death and rebirth.

	Gamelan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gamelan orchestras are common to the islands of Java, Madura, Bali, and Lombok (and other Sunda Islands) in Indonesia in a wide variety of ensemble sizes and formations.
		Although gamelan ensembles sometimes include solo and choral voices, plucked and/or bowed string and wind instruments, they are most notable for the large number of percussion instruments, particularly metal percussion instruments.
		In addition, there are gamelan ensembles composed entirely of bamboo -keyed instruments, of bamboo flutes, of zithers, or of unaccompanied voices with the functions of metallophones or gongs in the metal ensemble transferred to surrogates.

	Fatone article, part 4, volume 3 issue 1 spring 2001
		I find the texture of the type A composition for gamelan angklung, with its rather hypnotic, minimalist figuration over a slow moving melody and metronomic tempo, to be most similar in "aural feel" to certain types of techno music.
		Coincidentally or not, types of techno and gamelan music, and their respective musical textures, are both present in communal gatherings where dance and altered states of consciousness are the intention of at least a subgroup of participants.
		While the gamelan angklung is not the particular gamelan ensemble associated with rituals involving trance in Bali, its textural characteristics are in many ways idiosyncratic to much gamelan music in general, including those ensembles that are present in trance contexts.

	Dancers of Bali Gamelan from Peliatan, 1952 liner notes
		Gamelan generally utilizes a five-tone octave (four for gamelan angklung), whether it be in the sléndro tuning of gender wayang or the pélog tuning of most other genres.
		Angklung today is a four-tone ensemble consisting of smaller bronze-key gangsa metallophones, kempur (small gong), rincik (cymbals), and suling (bamboo flute), associated with ceremonial events, especially cremation rituals.
		The traditional accompaniment of the gamelan pelegongan has all but given way to the dominant gamelan Gong Kebyar, and the thirty- or forty five-minute legong is often shortened to fifteen minutes, adapting to the requirements of tourist entertainment.
