Abstract
The art of gamelan in Javanese culture contains aesthetical, ethical, and historical elements. The aesthetical element or the beauty of gamelan art reflects the common artistic principle dulce et utile which means entertaining and valuable. The creative activities of each artist is distinct. In other words, artists are able to create new modes in an artistic expression. Art does not only enrich psychological well-being but also serves as a media to communicate culture to the society. Gilbert Chesterton stated that the development of science and arts is inseparable. Whereas science studies the generic aspect of a physical form of something, arts deal with a more private matter that is the unique and solitary human. The ombak gong tuning system has become the unique characteristic of the accoustic tuning system of the gong instrument in Javanese gamelan in the current digital music era.
 Keywords: ombak gong, aesthetic of accoustic, digital music
