Affendi Ramli Tales of the Whispering Bonanag (fragment) – 4′49–

The piece was based on a musical instrument of a specific type from Trengganu, East Peninsula Malaysia known as Bonang. It consists of sets of tuned small bronzed gongs that produced a very bright sound. In the traditional Malay culture, the Bonang is sacred and it is believed to have supernatural power, and was regarded as the main instrument in any Gamelan repertoire.

The piece was composed from collections of instruments used in the most ancient theatre form in Malaysia, the Wayang Kulit.
