Abstract

Ganjuran is a type of music that is a mixture of two types of music, namely Jathilan and Baleganjur music. This assimilation began with an identity polemic between Javanese and Balinese musicality which was felt by most Hindus in Klaten. The polemic turned out to be prolonged, until finally Pemuda Pura Wisnu Sakti offered a solution to blend the two musicalities. In carrying out assimilation, Pemuda Pura Wisnu Sakti apparently carried out musical and socio-cultural negotiations with various elements to find an ideal. Next, to describe the negotiations, Yuniawan’s negotiation strategy theory was used. The method used in this research is qualitative, descriptive analytic in nature. As a result, it was identified that there were musical negotiations which included instruments and playing patterns as well as socio-cultural negotiations which included identity, satisfaction of players and listeners, and suitability of musicality with worship. These results show that music can be used as a tool to maintain identity in a friendly way.

Abstract

Indie or independent music is created and distributed independently without the intervention of major record labels. The development of the internet and digital platforms provides opportunities for indie musicians to disseminate their work, but they still face difficulties in distribution and promotion to penetrate the national music market. This research aims to identify the barriers to digital distribution and promotion faced by local indie bands and find effective digital distribution and promotion strategies to penetrate the national market. The method used is in-depth interviews with indie musicians, independent label owners, music aggregators, and support staff involved in digital distribution. Qualitative data from the interviews will be analyzed to find themes, answer patterns, and explain respondents' perspectives comprehensively. The results of this research are expected to provide an in-depth understanding of the distribution and promotion problems faced by indie bands and formulate solutions in the form of appropriate strategies to expand their market reach to the national level and increase their visibility and popularity.

Abstract

Musical activities are often said to promote positive social experiences; however, certain conditions can hinder the success of children's social interactions during these activities. For instance, overly challenging musical tasks, unresolved interpersonal conflicts, and high levels of competition in group music settings may introduce pressures that inhibit collaboration and social engagement. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the factors that are crucial for fostering successful social dynamics in children's group musical activities. This article aims to explore how movement elements can influence the social interactions within these group settings. Hove and Risen's (2009) concept of interpersonal synchronization is employed to explain how feelings of safety and enjoyment emerge during movement-based music activities. This framework aligns with Hirschi's (1969) model, which outlines the prerequisites for forming social bonds in collective activities. Qualitative data were collected at Hanacaraka Edukids Montessori School Kindergarten in Yogyakarta through semi-structured interviews with three teachers and sixteen of the thirty-two participating children. The data were then analyzed using Schreier's (2014) content analysis procedures. The findings suggest that incorporating movement into group music activities can enhance children's positive mood, which, in turn, fosters positive interactions and strengthens friendships within the group. Keywords: music and movement, early childhood, interpersonal relationship

Abstract

The creativity in the musical work titled "Djakarta", created by the alliance of producers and songwriters: Laleilmanino, was inspired as a gift for Jakarta’s 497th anniversary in 2024. This research aims to understand how musical creativity can represent the cultural identity of a metropolitan city through the fusion of traditional Betawi music (tehyan and kendang) with easily accessible pop music elements. A qualitative method is used to observe the phenomenon of creativity in Laleilmanino’s song "Djakarta." In its creation process, the song demonstrates that "Djakarta" successfully produces a musical product with a pop identity that is catchy yet retains its traditional roots. This fusion led "Djakarta" to be nominated for the 2024 AMI Awards as Best Pop Music Arrangement.

Abstract

Makalah ini menguraikan pertunjukan gending (komposisi musik tradisional Jawa) yang diadakan di Padepokan Tjipta Boedaja di lereng Gunung Merapi di Magelang. Kegiatan ini dikenal sebagai Caosan, sebuah pertunjukan musik yang melibatkan permainan berturut-turut sekitar sepuluh hingga sebelas gending. Meskipun pada dasarnya merupakan praktik keagamaan, Caosan juga memiliki fungsi pendidikan dalam studi karawitan (musik tradisional Jawa), yang bermula dari niat untuk mencegah tidur siang di sore hari pada malam Kamis dan Selasa Kliwon—waktu yang dianggap sakral oleh anggota Padepokan. Untuk mencegah tidur selama periode ini, sebuah klenengan (pertemuan musik gamelan) diselenggarakan, yang sekaligus mengajarkan para anggota cara memainkan gamelan. Tersirat dalam acara tersebut adalah konsep “nggendong ngindit”, yang mengacu pada penyelesaian dua tugas yang saling berhubungan secara bersamaan—di sini, pembelajaran musik terjadi bersamaan dengan sebuah ritual. Caosan dapat dianggap sebagai acara keagamaan, meskipun pelaksanaannya tidak kaku atau khidmat seperti ibadah formal. Sebaliknya, ia memungkinkan suasana santai di mana kesalahan dalam bermain dapat diterima. Dalam keadaan darurat, seperti letusan gunung berapi atau grup musisi yang tidak lengkap, Caosan dapat dibatalkan. Namun, niat untuk tetap terjaga selama malam suci berlanjut melalui percakapan informal. Romo Yoso Sudarmo memanfaatkan Caosan sebagai platform untuk membentuk kelompok pangrawit (pemain gamelan), yang terutama diambil dari pemain wayang orang tradisional. Saat ini, Caosan telah berkembang menjadi praktik budaya yang menarik, meskipun jumlah penontonnya masih sedikit. Ini bukan acara wisata religi melainkan konser karawitan yang dimaksudkan sebagai persembahan kepada para leluhur, dengan harapan membawa kedamaian, keselamatan, dan kebahagiaan bagi masyarakat Padepokan.

Abstract

The evolution of contemporary music has created a tension between universal moral demands and artistic expressive freedom. This study analyzes this dialectic through the philosophical lenses of Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Nietzsche. Kant emphasizes aesthetics as a universal experience bound by morality, while Nietzsche liberates art from traditional conventions in favor of transgressive creative expression. The research examines radical works such as 4'33" (John Cage) and atonal music (Schoenberg) as rejections of classical aesthetic norms. The findings demonstrate that contemporary music becomes an arena for clashing values between Kantian moral order and Nietzschean deconstruction of traditional values. This conflict reflects the modern cultural dilemma of either maintaining universal principles or embracing boundless creative freedom. Using a qualitative philosophical approach, this study highlights contemporary music's dual role as both social critique and aesthetic experiment that transforms artistic paradigms.

Abstract

This research examines how Siantar Rap Foundation (SRF) integrates traditional Batak musical elements into the modern hip hop genre through creative musical practices. SRF does not merely adopt hip hop as a global trend, but also fuses it with Batak identity and values through the selection of instruments, musical arrangement, the use of Batak-language lyrics, and the strengthening of visual identity in every performance. Using a qualitative method and an ethnomusicological approach, this research explores the mechanisms of cultural integration in SRF’s works and their impact on the cultural identity of Batak youth. The findings reveal that SRF has successfully created a phenomenon of musical hybridity that is relevant to contemporary developments and capable of reaching national and even global audiences. Through strategies such as consistent music production, live performances in various cities, digital media utilization, and the reinforcement of Batak visual culture, SRF demonstrates that hip hop music can serve as a dialogic space between local and global cultures. This study is expected to enrich the discourse on music, culture, and identity, as well as inspire other musicians to explore local culture through global music genres.
