Gamelan and Bagpipes?! Yes, and it’s incredible. Be sure to listen to the piece all the way to the end, it gets pretty intense.

Played on a gamelan that features court style instruments like a Panembung extra large sized bonang and large Bedhug drum. The gamelan part of the piece is sort of a sekaten style piece.

I.M. Harjito composed this piece for gamelan and Bagpipes in 2001 in collaboration with a bagpipe-playing graduate student at Wesleyan University. This performance was part of the end-of-semester gamelan concert at Wesleyan on December 7, 2006.
