		<description>You&#039;re making me want to bust out the Akira soundtrack for some gamelan goodness! Sounds like an amazing workshop - when are audio samples from your &quot;gamelaning&quot; forthcoming?</description>

		<description>some of it was definitely in 4/4, but eg one pattern was in a cycle of three, 
so this sequence would be a &#039;verse&#039; 
1313 1313 1313 1313
1313 1313 1313 1313
3131 3131 3131 3123

but bear in mind we were all beginners, so it was kept very simple so everyone could get it!
Theres more info &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colotomy&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here:&lt;/a&gt; 

&quot;Colotomy is a term coined by the ethnomusicologist Jaap Kunst to describe the rhythmic patterns of the gamelan. It refers to the use of specific instruments to mark off nested time intervals, or the process of dividing rhythmic time into such nested cycles. In the gamelan, this is usually done by gongs of various sizes: the kempyang, ketuk, kempul, kenong, gong suwukan, and gong ageng. The fast-playing instruments, kempyang and ketuk, keep a regular beat. The larger gongs group together these hits into larger groupings, playing once per each grouping. The largest gong, the gong ageng, represents the largest time cycle and generally indicates that that section will be repeated, or the piece will move on to a new section.....

That article goes into detail of common structures, and a means of notation...</description>

		<description>so what rhythmic structure do they work to? How do you keep time? Not 4 to the floor presumably?</description>
