'Semar Pegulingan gamelans were originally royal ensembles and used a seven-tone scale. Later, various different ensembles with the same name developed, all of them pitched higher and with a brighter, more delicate sound than gong gede. This group is one of the few remaining seven-tone Semar Pegulingan gamelans. Its music seems almost weightless, slower and less insistently virtuosic than modern styles.' ~ John Storm Roberts
more mellow than the previous creative music productions publication & likely headier as a result. this must be the 'weightless' factor jsr spake about in the blurb above. it's raining like crazy here & the kool breezes make these tunes owl the more evocative. heavenly
