A visceral exploration of worship & violence. The Gamelatron (robotic Gamelan Orchestra). Filmed by Jay Peele during Art Basel 2009 at SCOPE art show. "Modeled after traditional Balinese and Javanese gamelan orchestras, the Gamelatron is an amalgamation of traditional instruments withe a suite of percussive sound makers. MIDI sequences control 117 robotic striking mechanisms that produce intricately woven and rhythmic sound. Anointing the crowd with offerings, the ghosts become companion spirits as bystanders become participants, drawing the audience inward towards a distilled and finite moment. Performances follow an arc similar to classic Indonesioan gatherings, where stories from great epics, such as the Ramayana, are told and settings are recounted in words that are, in turn, continued in music."
