This paper is to trace the creative process in composing Digital Gamelan Music (DGM) done by I Wayan Ary Wijaya a balinese artist. It a qualitative study by operating observation, documentation, and interview. Interview is done with I Wayan Arsa Wijaya and other related parties. DGM was created by Ary Wijaya from linking gamelan and music technology. DGM is another way to strengthen tradition and at the same time foster creativity by using the gamelan (traditionality) and the technology (modernity) as a medium of inspiration. It is found that DGM is composed using Panca Sthiti Ngawi Sani theory: inspiration stage (ngawirasa); exploration stage (ngawacak); conception stage (ngarencana); execution stage (ngewangun); presentation stage (ngebah). DGM as a terminology is still experiencing struggles in terms of concept definition, form, and creative work process. Besides that, the digital technology belongs to a product of capitalism.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the aesthetics of unity that exist in kendang pangarjan which is performed by two Balinese drummers namely I Dewa Nyoman Sura and Cokorda Alit Hendrawan. Data collection is done by observation, interviews, literature studies, and document studies. The results showed that kendang pangarjan is one type of instrument found in Balinese gamelan. Two names of kendang pangarjan performances whose expertise have been very famous in Bali are I Dewa Nyoman Sura and Cokorda Alit Hendrawan. The aesthetics of unity in question is divided into three elements, namely unity in diversity which includes processing the color of the sound which then forms a song sentence; unity in purpose which includes the function of each. Kendang (lanang/male and wadon/female) instruments are different, but in carrying out their duties they have the same goal, namely as an interpreter of the tempo and dynamics of the song, and; unity in fusion that can be viewed from the philosophy of naming the lanang-wadon (male-female) instrument which in human life reflects the blend of men and women. Keywords: Kendang Pangarjan, unity, male and female drum.

Root growth always develops to form new branches so that it forms a very unique physique with irregular links that make the physical form of the root look complicated. This phenomenon stimulates the author's mind to transfer it into the form of a musical composition art form entitled Entik. This phenomenon is interpreted by processing the range of tones, interweaving patterns and interweaving between instruments, developing instrument functions, rhythms, tempos and dynamics that are processed in a minimalist manner, which are presented using the medium of the gamelan semarandhana. The creation of this work was realized using the creation method Panca Sthiti Ngawi Sani, which consists of five stages of creation, namely: Ngawirasa, Ngawack, Ngarancana, Ngewangun and Ngebah.   Keywords: root, entik, karawitan

In Bali, most of the cycles of religious life are controlled by ceremonial activities of a religious nature. Ceremonial activities are not only a necessity but also a necessity. It makes sense if later the Hindus in Bali became ceremonial people, they worshiped themselves, others, including nature and the environment. As a result of their very limited abilities, Hindus use facilities in the form of banten as a form of offering. Religious activities that use offerings are quite dense. The choice of "ready to serve offerings" is no longer taboo, it even tends to become a habit. The phenomenon of using ready-to-eat offerings is a representation of proof that Hindus, in terms of their corpses, almost never leave the smell and feel of a colossal-style ritual. As an inseparable part of modern society, Hindus in Bali inevitably fall into the trap of a global society's lifestyle which is full of materialism, capitalism, and consumerism. Their daily life is so busy competing for a living, so the availability of time for the business of making offerings is very limited. By earning money from the work, he takes a practical way by buying the ready-to-serve offerings.

This musical composition has the goal of expressing creativity and potential in art by creating quality and quality works of art. The work entitled tabuh kreasi “Nguci” is an innovative karawitan creation which is still based on Balinese karawitan traditional patterns. This work originated from the stylist's interest in the beauty of the sound of the pleci bird's song and has a cycle of sounds ranging from wheezing to ngalas, ngerol, ngeplong and gacor. So the stylist tries to transform it with a different character which will become a creation of percussion music with a tradition nuance. The process of creating this work goes through 5 stages, namely, the inspiration stage (ngawirasa), the exploration stage (ngawacak), the conception stage (ngaplan), the execution stage (ngewangun), the production stage (ngebah). This piece of percussion creation by Nguci consists of three parts, namely kawitan, pengawa and kecet. In its presentation, Nguci's percussion creations were played by 22 supporters with a duration of 12 minutes. The medium used to express this work of art is the gong angklung kebyar.

Bangked's karawitan artwork is work inspired by the formation of paddy mud and the cili motive found in lamak which is still closely related to the formation of the mud itself. Bangked is a Balinese word that means the combination of two elements, namely, land and water. Rare cili and rare angon are depictions of these two elements which farmers usually depict in the form of scarecrows or scarecrows. The purpose of creating Bangked's artwork is to give a message of advice to all of society so that we as humans must be able to appreciate land and water as elements in life. Bangked's artwork uses the barungan semara pegulingan saih pitu as a medium of expression due to the many modulations or patet that the stylist can use to express all the inspiration that is in the stylist's mind. The method for creating Bangked karawitan works of art uses the Panca Stihiti Ngawi Sani method from I Wayan Dibia, which includes the Inspiration Stage (Ngawirasa), Exploration Stage (Ngawacak), Conception Stage (Ngerencana), Execution Stage (Ngewangun), and the third. last Production Stage (Ngebah/Maedeng). In this Bangked karawitan artwork, a division system is used, in which each part has its own meaning and significance.

“Konfrontasi” composition is a musical composition that refers to a representation of one form of conflict, which describes an event in which one provokes an action or argument opposite from another person who is considered an opponent openly. In music, confrontation is likened to a word that describes the dynamic and disharmist movement of musical sentences. Confrontation is realized based on the continuity of Gong Kebyar's gamelan character as a revealing medium, namely dynamic characters. Confrontation is realized with the aim of enhancing the knowledge and expertise of stylists to build the ability to create contemporary compositions based on simple thinking on the relevance of the characteristics of ideas to the characteristics of Gong Kebyar. In realizing the composition of Confrontation, stylists use the method of creation of Panca Sthiti Ngawi Sani consisting of: Ngawirasa (Inspiration), Ngawacak (Exploration), Ngarancana (Conception), Ngawangun (Execution), and Ngebah (Presentation). Konfrontasi composition is presented as a contemporary composition with structural parts consisting of three parts with a focus on the concept of contrast and harmony. Contemporary composition is a musical composition that not only considers free without considering conventional provisions or forgetting tradition.

This musical composition has the goal of expressing creativity and potential in art by creating quality and quality works of art. The work entitled tabuh kreasi “Nguci” is an innovative karawitan creation which is still based on Balinese karawitan traditional patterns. This work originated from the stylist's interest in the beauty of the sound of the pleci bird's song and has a cycle of sounds ranging from wheezing to ngalas, ngerol, ngeplong and gacor. So the stylist tries to transform it with a different character which will become a creation of percussion music with a tradition nuance. The process of creating this work goes through 5 stages, namely, the inspiration stage (ngawirasa), the exploration stage (ngawacak), the conception stage (ngaplan), the execution stage (ngewangun), the production stage (ngebah). This piece of percussion creation by Nguci consists of three parts, namely kawitan, pengawa and kecet. In its presentation, Nguci's percussion creations were played by 22 supporters with a duration of 12 minutes. The medium used to express this work of art is the gong angklung kebyar.

Female Sekaa Gong is a collective of women in Ubud Village who unite to perform Balinese music, transforming individual ideas into a collective vision. This group fosters social relationships and a sense of togetherness among its members. This article explores the intricacies of the Female Sekaa Gong, highlighting its role in preserving traditional Balinese music (Karawitan) and providing feminine aesthetic nuances. The research, conducted through a qualitative interpretive method within a cultural studies paradigm, examines the positionality of the Female Sekaa Gong in social and touristic contexts. Findings indicate a rise in the number of Female Sekaa Gong in Ubud Village, motivated by five key factors: religious emotion, a sense of humiliation, status improvement, actualization of beauty, and the desire to create tourist performances. The Female Sekaa Gong plays several roles in ritual and social activities, including: (1) serving as a ritual complement; (2) building social solidarity; (3) expanding traditional roles; and (4) preserving cultural values. Its presence marks a shift in the social paradigm regarding gender norms in gamelan performance, reflecting a dynamic interplay between tradition and modernity and adapting to contemporary circumstances.
