Gamelatron Gandaberunda
Gamelatron Gandaberunda is named after a two-headed mythical bird creature on the outskirts of the main Hindu mythology, believed to possess immense magical strength. This artwork features 36 mirror polished hand forged bronze gongs, and two Balinese style cymbal arrays called ceng-ceng tuned to a non standard 6-note scale.
