So how influenced were you by Gamelan with that 2nd movement
For that movement, I used pitches from the two scales (Pélog and Slendró) in Javanese Gamelan music to determine the intervallic relationships in the piece. Obviously, I couldn't use all the microtonal tunings inherent in Gamelan music, but I came as close as I could.
