For I may have court with her.

As their love deepens, Semara, the Balinese god of love, reminds the lovers to integrate both the male and female into one. Instruments from the Gamelan Semar Pegulingan, the orchestra that in ancient times performed outside the sleeping chambers of royal lovers blend with performances by the original 1978 lineup of Ancient Future.
