  2. "A gendèr is a type of metallophone used in Balinese and Javanese gamelan music," and is not to be associated with the musical gamete or non-musical zygote, nor indeed with Satie's chromatic bathtub or double-bass made of skin.

  3. Thanks, onxidlib - a very interesting melange of traditional and modern music. I found the booklet very informative, not common in Indonesian tapes at all - English commentary and biographical details on every player! The music didn't knock me out after 2 listens, to be true; it might grow on me in time.

    Selamat!

  6. Sotise, I don't understand your reply, sorry - what do you mean by "hardly any entertaining mangling of English at all!"?!? I don't get the word "mangling" in this context.

  7. Readers of the Travellers' Tales column in the Far Eastern Economic Review, while it still existed, knew all about mangling of English.

    My favourite is this one:

    Chambermaid will flatten your underwear with pleasure.

    Here's another one:

  11. nice idea to post some balinese music - this one really freaky sometimes...

    In 1989 I used to hang around the Ubud central place where the local gamelan orchestra did rehearsal every mid-afternoon - the most relaxing rehearsal I've ever seen: some of the musicians practising scales, others just drank tea and talked - the conductor slowly went here and there to give instructions - or to drink tea and talk...

    I did some rips of Balinese and Javan Gamelan cassettes I brought along - see if I can find them...
