Gamelan gender wayang

Gamelan gender wayang is a style of gamelan music played on Bali, Indonesia. It is used for wayang, but also for other ceremonial purposes. In I Wayan Loceng's book on gender wayang, he reports that "Gender wayang, one of the most ancient musical ensembles existing in Bali, accompanies shadow theatre as well as tooth filings, cremations, and other religious ceremonies. Although a rather small ensemble, gender wayang incorporates delicate interlocking melodies and active contrapuntal movement. The music described in this book comes from Sukawati, the area most famous for shadow play and the development and maintenance of Gender Wayang tradition."
