Gamelan is one of the ancient music traditions of the world. In Solo,
it’s still a part of everyday life and an important cultural custom. A
complex wonder of human invention, it comes from a timeless world of
aural tradition, contemplation, and relaxed living. These films capture
the essence of the gamelan tradition, in the context of the changing
modern world. Come and experience Java and feel what it’s like to be
lost in a world of history.
