Traditional malay musical instruments integral to the Makyong dance and the wayang kulit (shadow play) are arrayed in this composition, taking centrestage. The lines flowing among the gendang, serunai (oboe), gong and the rebana (drums) create a syncopated rhythm and a natural environment harmony. They are set against a latticed panel and the broad expanse of sky on the right for greater depth.
