Balinese Gamelan Musicians in Jakarta Temple

by Theodore Hodge

Copper-toned side light spills across the intricate wood carvings of a Balinese pavilion, highlighting the silver and bronze surfaces of a gamelan ensemble. Several musicians sit cross-legged on the dark stone floor, their hands poised over the suspended metal keys. The cool season air is visible in the stillness of their linen shirts, which hang loosely against the carved pillars. Molten light catches the sweat on a drummer's forehead and glints off the brass gongs, creating sharp reflections against the deep shadows of the pavilion's interior. The background reveals the temple precinct in Sudirman, Jakarta, with its distinct architectural blend of Indonesian and Balinese elements. One wooden mallet rests on the edge of a gong, its handle worn smooth by years of use.
