Kiai Wukir's music

Following the 'Sisyphus' performance, several spectators gathered around the heartwood instrument for a close-up look. "We left the 3.5-meter-long instrument made by Wukir at Plesungan Studio in Solo," said Melati Suryodarmo. "This is the replica which was brought to Germany."

It is indeed a unique instrument. "We call this Kiai Wukir, just like the names of gamelan at the Yogya Keraton (palace)," said Ikbal S. Lubys, who played the instrument, laughing. 'Kiai Wukir' simulates the sound of electronic music.
