↳ Song: "Colak Colek" by "Elvy Sukaesih"
"Dangdut is a genre of Indonesian folk music that is partly derived and fused from Hindustani, Arabic, and, to a lesser extent, Malay, Minangkabau, Javanese, Sundanese and local folk music. Dangdut is the most popular musical genre in Indonesia[ and very popular in other Maritime Southeast Asian countries because of its melodious instrumentation and vocals. Dangdut features a tabla and gendang beat."

Observations:

↳ Song: "Likad" by "Dewa Alit & Gamelan Salukat"
“Likad”, written during Covid-19 lockdowns, channels anxiety and uncertainty into musical form, resulting in a piece that, even by Alit’s standards, is stunning in its complexity and the virtuosity it demands of Gamelan Salukat. Its opening section is perhaps most remarkable for its mastery of texture, with rapid transitions between dry, muted strikes and metallic shimmers calling to mind the use of filters in electronic music. At points, the complex irregular repetitions of short melodic patterns, where the music seems to get stuck or be suddenly interrupted by a skip, recall the mad sampler works of Alvin Curran or the skittering surface of prime period Oval more than anything familiar from acoustic percussion music. Moving through a dizzying series of twists and turns, the piece ends with a majestic sequence of chords possessing an almost hieratic power. A major statement from a radical contemporary composer, one cannot help but agree with Alit when he sees Chasing the Phantom as an answer to the “question of the future of Gamelan music”.

Henry Cowell composed a lovely, brief trio for recorders based on a common gamelan scale. Per the American Recorder Society, "These modern pieces were written especially for recorders by the well-known American composer. The title of the first piece is 'Pelog', which is the name of the Indonesian five-tone scale on which this piece is based."

↳ Song: "Rijanti - Ngatijal - Jatinem" by "Anonymous"
"Wayang kulit is a traditional form of shadow puppetry originally found in the cultures of Java and Bali in Indonesia. In a wayang kulit performance, the puppet figures are rear-projected on a taut linen screen with a coconut oil (or electric) light. The dalang (shadow artist) manipulates carved leather figures between the lamp and the screen to bring the shadows to life. The narratives of wayang kulit often have to do with the major theme of good vs. evil."
