  1. from java and is clearly javanese gamelan. it uses the pelog scale. i can hear that there are many gongs, metallophones and even voice. gons like gong ageng and metallophones like saron and peking. the texture is stratified heterophony where all the melodies exist in layers.

  2. This is Indonesian Gamelan and it is Javanese as it uses the pelog scale. The instruments are, gong ageng, kenong and the rebab. All the instruments play at the same time in the beginning then they quicken the pace and then only the metellophones play. The singer sings throughout. At the end, the beat slows down noticably.

  3. This piece comes from the gamelan ensemble and is Javanese. This can be identified from the pelog scale and the steady rhythm. Instruments such as the gong ageng, saron and rebab can be found. There is a main female singer that continues to sing throughout the entire piece despite other instruments alternating when they play. Finally, the piece slows down and comes to an end.

  4. It is a Javanese Gamelan.It can be identified through the pelog scale it uses that has semitones.Also it is much more lethargic as compared to the bright and exciting melody and fast,interlocking rythms associated with its Balinese counterpart.
