| Abstract | This master’s thesis project explores the centuries-old Indonesian musical genre gamelan as it exists now in Los Angeles, primarily through the ensemble Gamelan Burat Wangi. I present it as a multimedia package online at ehough.ascjweb.org/gamelan. ❧ Burat Wangi, founded in 1972 at the California Institute of the Arts, is arguably one of the best known gamelan performance groups in the United States. Instead of celebrating their accomplishments in the last 40 years, however, this story takes a closer look at the interpersonal relations within the group and the sense of community that grows out of learning and appreciating this music together. ❧ The website, which I built from scratch, contains the main feature story, live performance video, photo gallery and interactive audio organology. The organology classifies each instrument of Burat Wangi’s ensemble with technical information and hand-drawn black-and-white illustrations. Viewers can click the images to see them fill in with color and hear individual instruments play short audio samples, which I also recorded. |
