Gamelan music is cyclical, with expanding or shrinking time. 'Slower' is time expanding, where a single beat splits into many beats. A song may have one part made up of segments, like a clockface made of its hours, and the part is repeated cyclically many times - expanding and shrinking - to make the song.   kellyjones00 (593)

Gamelan has frontline and orchestra instruments. The frontliners are leaders, ornamenting the melody of the orchestra and signalling where to alter tempo.   kellyjones00 (593)
