Abstract

This article investigates the auditory environment, known as "soundscapes," created by Gamelan, which comprises a distinctive combination of instruments, melodies, rhythms, and timbres that collectively shape the sonic experience. Recognizing the significance of understanding the auditory dimension of Gamelan and its influence on Indonesian society's cultural and social fabric, we explore the socio-karawitanology paradigm as the primary research topic. Our objective is to establish a novel gamelan research paradigm by integrating insights from sociology and karawitanology. The research methodology incorporates data from international journal articles and proceedings while also incorporating additional sources like field observations, expert interviews, and active engagement with the local community to ensure a comprehensive understanding of karawitan and its socio-cultural significance. Our analysis reveals that the socio-karawitanology paradigm provides a valuable framework for exploring the intricate and dynamic social dimensions prevalent in contemporary societal issues. The research contributes significantly by introducing the socio-karawitanology paradigm, opening avenues for fresh perspectives and insights in the field of karawitanology. It fosters a broader understanding of the socio-cultural impact of karawitan and stimulates further investigations into the interplay between music, society, and culture.

Abstract

This research is focused on exploring the relevance of undagi’s indigenous knowledge implemented on post-pandemic interior design as a recommendation for preserving traditional Balinese architecture in the modern era. As UNESCO promoted safeguarding the "Intangible Cultural Heritage" in 2003, all designers must strengthen the cultural side in still relevant designs for the modern era. In Bali, undagi’s (traditional architect) existence declined in the modern era. Undagi’s indigenous knowledge is the basis for the architectural development of traditional Balinese houses (umah) for designing tourism facilities as research objects. This research is a desk study with a critical analytical approach that qualitatively conducts a comparative study between indigenous knowledge and post-pandemic interior design recommendations with two stages of research—in the first stage, critically analyzing post-pandemic interior design recommendations by previous researchers with a systemic literature review. In the second stage, exploring undagi’s indigenous knowledge consists of explicit and tacit knowledge. The result of the two stages is the formulation of the relevance of undagi’s indigenous knowledge in post-pandemic interior design in Bali. The study results show that the undagi’s indigenous knowledge has relevance, which aligns with the recommendations for post-pandemic interior design criteria by previous researchers. This relevance is closely relevant, and several relevant values require development and interpretation to have interconnectivity between modern and traditional values. This process of interconnectivity must prioritize the principle of preserving traditional Balinese architecture in the modern era.

Abstract

The Prodigal Son, a well-known biblical parable cherished by children, has never been depicted using Balinese wayang, presenting an opportunity for cultural enrichment. This research aims to select appropriate Balinese wayang characters for the Bible story "The Lost Child." The motivation behind this study is to bridge the gap between the western visual style often associated with biblical depictions and the captivating Balinese wayang tradition, rekindling children's interest and appreciation for the narrative. The qualitative research method utilizes Thomas Aquinas' Christian theoretical literature and Balinese aesthetic theory, complemented by interviews and FGDs with fellow Doctoral students. The findings yield a deep correlation between the aesthetic theories, laying the foundation for selecting wayang characters. Wayang Tualen represents the father's kind traits, while Merdah embodies the adventurous youngest son. Sangut portrays the passionate firstborn, Cenk and Blonk represent dynamic and critical aspects, and Delem embodies arrogance and cunning. The research discussions enrich the study's scope, contributing to Balinese cultural preservation and its fusion with global characterizations. This artistic amalgamation fosters cross-cultural appreciation and artistic regeneration among younger generations with both the characters in the story and the characters in the Balinese wayang.

Abstract

Mang Koko's 'Guntur Galunggung' is one of the most evocative and innovative songs in Sundanese music, created in response to the 1982 eruption of Mount Galunggung. This song represents a collaborative effort between Sundanese writer Wahyu Wibisana and musical artist Mang Koko, showcasing uniqueness in its thematic background, musical arrangement, and lyrical meaning. The research employs descriptive analysis, focusing on data processing through content analysis of music manuscripts. Data collection methods include observation, interviews, and literature studies. This analysis provides an in-depth review of the innovative Sundanese musical work, 'Guntur Galunggung,' highlighting its musical complexity and interrelated symbolic meanings. The research results reveal the intricate structure of the song "Guntur Galunggung," comprising 12 stanzas of rumpaka, 12 stanzas of gending accompaniment, and distinct sections with varying musical elements, while symbolically depicting the life of a local couple, Mang Maman, and Bi Warsih, emphasizing themes of simplicity, gratitude, resilience, and adaptation in the face of challenges, culminating in their migration to Sumatra as a metaphorical journey of rising after a fall.

Abstract

Aesthetic criticism serves as an evaluation of diverse forms of beauty perceived differently by individuals. Costumes worn by Jaranan Pegon dancers adhere to specific standards and regulations during performances, with the dancers donning Wayang Wong attire. This research aims to assess aesthetic criticism by investigating absolutism, anarchy, and relativism in the costumes of Jaranan Pegon dancers. The study employed a descriptive approach with a phenomenological method. The findings revealed that, in accordance with absolutism, Jaranan Pegon dancers' costumes must adhere to established standards or guidelines. From the perspective of anarchy, there is freedom in costume choices, allowing deviation from traditional rules. Relativism permits flexibility in attire, considering various presentation factors while still allowing departures from established guidelines. The significance of this research lies in exploring aesthetic criticism through the lenses of absolutism, anarchy, and relativism in the context of Jaranan Pegon dancers' costumes, shedding light on the varying standards and freedoms associated with costume choices in performances.

Abstract

The Gendhing accompaniment for Murdanata Dedarining Aringgit is a newly composed musical piece designed to accompany the Murdanata Dedarining Aringgit dance, which serves as the mascot dance of Nagasepaha village in Buleleng Regency, Bali. Data for creating this piece were gathered through literature studies, observations, interviews, and discography (recordings). The primary question guiding this creation was: 'What is the creative process involved in composing the accompaniment for the Murdanata Dedarining Aringgit dance?' The creative process involved three stages: exploration, improvisation, and formation. The key findings of this creation include: (1) The Gendhing accompaniment for Murdanata Dedarining Aringgit is a novel composition rooted in Balinese karawitan musical concepts, (2) The structural framework of the Gendhing utilizes the Tri Angga concept, comprising Kawitan, Pengawak, and Pengecet, and (3) Both the Gendhing and the Murdanata Dedarining Aringgit dance emerged from a collective desire to establish a new musical language that fulfills the community's evolving cultural needs. This creation underscores the inseparable unity between the Gendhing accompaniment and the Murdanata Dedarining Aringgit dance, thus serving as a cultural representation of the people of Nagasepaha village in Buleleng Regency, Bali.

Abstract

Airports serve as a gateway for tourists as well as an introduction to local cultural opportunities, connecting regions, provinces, and countries. The application of local cultural aesthetic elements in airport public spaces is necessary due to conditions where the heavy influence of globalization can threaten the sustainability and the existence of local wisdom identity. This research aims to identify the potential of Javanese and Yogyakarta Cretan cultural elements, forming architectural designs and decorative elements at Yogyakarta International Airport's gates by the interior entrance access and the values contained therein. This research method uses qualitative methods with the ATUMICS theory approach to analyzing traditional elements (past culture) that can be integrated with modern features (present) in interpreting the existence of a form of local cultural identity. The results of this study suggest that the existence of local culture in the gapura and entrance gate in depicting micro symbols plays a significant influence. The Jogja palace feels present as it creates a feeling of place for its presence at Yogyakarta International Airport. The findings demonstrate that the object of research has an essential function in developing local identity as a symbol of archipelago architecture and as a possible magnet for introducing local culture so that it can be preserved by modernization.

Abstract

In the context of Catholic worship at Ganjuran Church, music and musicians play vital roles in enhancing the spiritual experience of worshippers. This research employs a qualitative and phenomenological approach to explore the ethical aspects related to musical performances during the First Friday Night Eucharist. Through careful observation, interviews, and documentation, the study analyzes the musicians' practices using Marc Benamou's theory of Rasa and Keontjoroningrat's insights on religious emotion. The findings reveal that musicians at Ganjuran Church embody the ethical principle of 'Mong Kinemong,' demonstrating a profound ethos of mutual care deeply embedded in their musical practice. This ethical commitment is bolstered by the musicians' intense experience of religious emotion, evoking feelings of majesty and serenity among choir members. Additionally, instrumentalists, referred to as 'pengrawit,' express heightened veneration, describing their peak moments as 'semu' (joyful), 'nges' (serene and good), and 'dados' (fulfilling expectations). Importantly, this 'Mong Kinemong' ethos harmoniously integrates with musical elements, enhancing the overall worship experience. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of ethics in musical performance within the Catholic liturgy context, shedding light on the significance of mutual care, emotional resonance, and harmonious musical expression in enriching the spiritual dimension of worship.

Abstract

The military apparatus in each region is established to maintain its sovereignty. The Prajurti women of the Mangkunegara Palace were an elite group of soldiers who participated in Raden Mas Said's struggle. As an extraordinary group of warriors in Mangkunegaran history, they have unique clothing that needs further research. The palace attire is one of the important cultural heritages that must be preserved. In Javanese culture, it is taught that dressing appropriately is in accordance with guidelines, situations, and conditions. This article discusses the attire of the Prajurti women of the Mangkunegara Palace, which was reintroduced during the Keraton Festival in 1991 by Trenggono. The research used descriptive analysis techniques, describing the research subject through collected data without analysis or drawing conclusions. The approach used was the aesthetic morphology approach of Thomas Munro. Based on this, this research explains the women's clothing of the Mangkunegara Palace Soldiers by Trenggono, which was displayed at the 1991 Palace Festival. The result shows that there is a discrepancy between the description of the attire of the Prajurti women of the Mangkunegara Palace in Serat Babad Nitik Mangkunegara I and II and the attire created by Trenggono.
