Information
Melodic layering, cyclical time and the architecture of Javanese gamelan.
Focusing on the musical structure and aesthetic principles of Javanese gamelan, this talk will build on concepts explored in the previous lecture and emphasise the construction of melody within the Javanese concept of irama.
Musicians from Langen Suka will provide live demonstrations on the museum’s bronze gamelan set, illustrating instrumental techniques across gongs and metallophones.
