10AM - Gamelan Music

Television (Excerpts) – 1990

Gamelan is simply a part of the culture. It's part of the air that you breathe, the sound environment. It's used for ceremony, it's used to accompany puppet shows for instance, and it's used for dance.
– Victoria University music lecturer Jack Body
It's hundreds of years old and yet here we are newly listening to it. And wherever we play and we tour around the country, there are people who are hearing it for the first time.
– Victoria University music lecturer Allan Thomas
These letters came in saying how wonderful they thought she (Kathryn Asare) was. It's the warmth, I think.
– 10AM producer Gil Barker on presenter Kathryn Asare, The Listener, 23 July 1990, page 36
