The music that Balawan and Batuan Gamelan plays brilliantly combines Balinese gamelan with modern jazz influences. The Balinese style is fast and intricate in terms of its rhythmic complexity and features repeated notes. Using this traditional style they add contemporary western instrumentation to develop songs about Balinese life which reflect a successful fusion of East and West.
All members of Batawan and Baluan Gamelan play a selection of traditional instruments, including reong (rows of gongs), suling (bamboo flutes), rindik (bamboo xylophone), genggong (bamboo jaw’s harp), kendang (hand drum) and cengceng (cymbals) as well as keyboard and electric guitar and bass.
