Originally commissioned by Norman Davies, Cakrakusuma is a pelog gamelan gadon that has recently been donated to a music research group, Taller d’Escultura Sonora Baschet at the University of Barcelona. This is the first Central Javanese gamelan in Spain! The research group is exploring the making of musical instruments pioneered by Bernard and Francois Baschet (see their blog: Taller Baschet).
