"I do not restrict myself to a standard gamelan, reserving the right to introduce equipment or instruments from other gamelan,
or even other resources which are non-gamelan or non-musical.
I do not restrict myself to existing patterns, forms and
structures, nor to existing musical performance practices (from
existing karawitan, for example).
Moreover, I intend to bring into being something which is new (patterns, forms, structures, garap) as a means of achieving the sonic ideas which I have imagined."
(Panggiyo, 1983)
