GamelanGong ensembles, gamelan, are found in especially the Indonesian area. During my study in Holland I had the pleasure of playing several kinds of gamelan. Het Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam was central for my experiences with the Javanese court gamelan for four years. For two years I played the Balinese Gamelan Gong Kebyar in the ensemble 'Tirta'. Gamelan Gong Kebyar is a large ensemble known for accompagnying dance and puppet performances. With this ensemble I participated in the production of a modern opera about the story 'Saidjah' by Multatulis. It was composed by Boudewijn Tarenskeen in 1987. |
