The lengthy process ensured that the living, breathing sound lost none of its realism thanks to the painstaking recording of numerous velocity layers - a true labor of love by Soniccouture. The instruments in this release were sampled from the London Symphonic Orchestra's Semara Dana Gamelan Ensemble in exacting detail. The instruments themselves are often beautifully crafted - traditional Indonesian thinking sees the gamelan as sacred, with a belief that each instrument is guided by spirits.
Gamelan music is most often characterized by its bright, metallic, percussive qualities, its distinctive and complex tuning, the rich layering of instruments, and its cyclical form. Recorded with 2-3 microphones and from 2-3 mic positions, you have a pretty good range of sound textures to choose from. This library is a sample pack of sound textures ranging from scarping, single tones, spinning notes, intervals, and playing the Gamelan instruments with various mallets. Balinese Gamelan is significantly different from the quieter, more 'courtly' style of its Javanese counterpart, perhaps due the differing historical religious climates of the two islands. 600+ Gamelan sound effects / recordings: This pack includes 107 files of 6 Gamelan instruments and 1 Harp. Culturally, the Balinese Gamelan has strong religious associations, being an integral part of many Hindu ceremonies, as well a focus for secular celebrations and festivals.
