Cool Stuff #3

This is a clip of my favorite Bollywood movie, called Lagaan. It was the first one I'd ever seen, and I sort of fell in love...

So, I got really excited when I found this clip on youtube. It is of a gamelan playing music from Mission Impossible. It starts out with the normal bass line, but then shifts into gamelan music.

This is a clip of Indonesian Idol that I really like. It shows the evolution from traditional music to the pop music of Western culture...

  1. That has got to be the coolest/funniest/scariest/weirdest gamelan video ever. Was this one of the ones that is tuned to western tuning? It must be if they are playing mission impossible. I still haven't figured out how the scream works into it though.
    By the way... I loved your presentation today... It was wonderful. I really want a singing bowl now! Have a great night Sarah!

  2. Oh my goodness it's so weird that you wrote about Lagaan, we watched that movie recently on my hall and we're obsessed with it! I put a different clip from the movie on my last cool stuff entry. I thought the movie was amazing, it's one of my favorite Bollywood movies.
