Notes on Music Styles
- Soft style refers to music that is intended to be background music. This style has a meditative, dreamy and ethereal quality.
- Loud style refers to music that is intended to be bold and attention-getting. This style is flashier and becomes the focus of the entertainment.
Please be aware that due to the size and number of the gamelan instruments, the performance space must be large enough to accommodate the musicians and/or dancers comfortably.
