Answer to Question 1

 Irama levels refer to the ratios among the different subdivisions of the balungan beat. The result is the balungan melody being played simultaneously at various related tempi. For example, the bonang barung plays at twice the density/rate of the basic balungan melody by subdividing the balungan beat into two quicker units; the bonang panerus could subdivide the balungan beat into four even quicker units, resulting in the ratios 1:2:4, and so on.

Answer to Question 2

 The elaborating melodic instruments generally derive their parts from the balungan (main melody) creating varied repetitions that may be played at different rates of speed (tempi). All the different elaborating melodies are heard simultaneously, adding to the overall density/texture of the piece.
