Ombak: Culture, Music & Art

Ombak (Balinese/Indonesian: wave) is the characteristic beating (“shimmer”) produced in many Balinese gamelan ensembles when paired instruments, or paired keys/bars for the same pitch, are tuned slightly apart and sounded together. Ombak is a designed timbral feature of an ensemble and is closely connected to Balinese paired-tuning practice.
