The world's first and only fully robotic Gamelan Orchestra

Length: 2 hrs 00 mins
Intermission(s): Unknown
Seating: General Admission
You choose your seats when you get to the theater.

Modeled after traditional Balinese and Javanese gamelan orchestras, the GamelaTron is an amalgamation of traditional instruments with a suite of percussive sound makers. MIDI sequences control robotic striking mechanisms that produce intricately woven and rhythmic sound. Performances follow an arc similar to classic Indonesian gatherings, where stories from great epics, such as the Ramayana, are told and settings given in words that are continued in music.

The GamelaTron is the fruit of a collaboration between the League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots (LEMUR) and the composer Zemi17 (A. Taylor Kuffner).
