AGI publishes scores, recordings, monographs, translations and other material.
Its founder and director is the composer and gamelan musician Jody Diamond.
The organization's scope includes gamelan music as practiced in Indonesia as well as around the world.
The journal Balungan was started in 1984 to encourage a dialog between artists and scholars involved in gamelan.
AGI also has a podcast, called Gongcast, and hosts directories of gamelan groups around the world.
