Abstract

Munyin Tanah is an experimental music created to materialize the composer's ideas. This work's creation hopefully provides benefits in the form of new references for musicians and audiences. The method of creation in this work is found in a book by Brewster Ghiselin entitled The Creative Process. Roger Sessions (1952) explains that creating a musical work includes inspiration, conception, and execution. Based on this method, the composer produces experimental musical works by processing musical elements using media that combines non-musical and musical instruments. The musical idea represents sounds that arise from the ground, such as rumbling booming, and sounds produced from the contact of materials made out of soil, such as the sound of rain and earth shifting crust. This is processed through rhythmic integration that explores Balinese gamelan and drumming techniques in Western music, such as single, double, and paradiddle.

Abstract

Gema Duta is an experimental musical work that emphasizes the simplicity of instruments and musical formulas, mainly focusing on using Gong and Bumbung Pipa as the primary media. This work was born from the artist's desire to give space to the unique characteristics of the Gong and Bumbung Pipa, understanding their existence as more than just sound resonators. Musically, Gema Duta carries a simple approach inspired by minimal instrumentation. The creation process involved stages of exploration and experimentation, mainly rooted in previous experiences with Balinese Gamelan, where similar patterns did not fit due to differences in the sound character of the instruments. Therefore, the arranger chose to compose simple music according to the instruments' characteristics. Gema Duta takes inspiration from acoustic defects produced by sound reflection on a delayed surface, creating a sound different from the original sound source, "Echoes" or "echoes."

Abstract

Lawat Sagara is a musical work inspired by the reflection of marine life. The ocean with stunning views creates a peaceful mood. The flora and fauna include fish, particles, and the high biodiversity in the coral reef area with various beautiful colors. Human behavior often ignores issues regarding environmental sustainability. Awareness of harmonizing human relations with the environment must be promoted more widely. This awareness in Bali is known as the concept of tri hita karana. Tri means three, hita means balance or prosperity, and karana implies cause. Tri hita karana can be interpreted as three causes of prosperity in life. Apart from being related to aesthetics, this work aims to convey the importance of maintaining environmental balance in the concept of tri hita karana. With this concept, it is an image or reflection of the ocean, which is also the main element of this work. In creating the work, one barungan gamelan selonding is used which is combined with several Balinese instruments, such as the kerumpungan drum, cedugan drum, kecek ricik, kajar trenteng, flute and pencon gong. The aim is to combine the barungan selonding instruments with gamelan instruments to enrich the rhythm and accentuation in the work. The use of selonding gamelan has characteristics that can evoke the atmosphere in the production of Lawat Sagara. The stages or methods in the work of Lawat Sagara use the Panca Sthiti Nawi Sani creation method: inspiration (ngawirasa), exploration (ngewacak), conception (ngaplan), execution (ngawangun) and ngebah (maedeng).

Abstract

Childhood is an exciting period to explore; why is that? It is because childhood can determine which direction the child will go. As the creator knows, the term children in Bali is also called Rare. Tabuh Kreasi Rare is a work created due to the creator's anxiety regarding the nature of Rare (children). Rare is a Balinese term for an adult who still has the characteristics of a child. Rare's traits include being easily excited, sometimes crying easily, and getting angry if his desires are not fulfilled. Percussion creation is a Balinese musical composition that has been newly arranged. However, the traditional material elements are still very prominent; what is created are its musical elements, such as content, playing technique, tempo, dynamics, and so on. In the work Tabuh Kreasi Rare, the artist uses the media, said Gamelan Gong Kebyar. Musically, Gamelan Gong Kebyar is a traditional Balinese orchestra with a loud sound ensemble. This percussion work created by Rare uses the Tri Angga structure, which consists of the kawitan, pengawak, and pengecet. In work Tabuh Kreasi Rare, the creator describes three childish traits that will later be analogous to the kawitan, pengawak, and squeak. The kawitan section contains two parts, including flashbacks and joy. The crew part describes the sadness of Rare's character, and in the part of the writer, he makes an analogy about Rare's emotional nature and ending as he grows into an adult.

Abstract

Kulawarga Pencon is a musical work that summarizes the fusion of two cultural families in instruments based on Balinese and Javanese gamelan. The method for creating Kulawarga Pencon's work adopts the principles stated in the Method for Composing Musical Works (An Alternative) by inserting the process for creating works by I Wayan Beratha. This creation inspired musical processing based on an appreciation of the technique of playing gamelan instruments with pencon and processing rhythms based on various tempos. This approach creates a harmonious intertwining of tones in the formulation of the work. The musical structure of Kulawarga Pencon follows the Tri Angga concept, which consists of kawitan (precursor), pengawak (content), and pengecet (cover). Kawitan is formulated as an introduction that highlights the elements of rhythm, dynamics, and tempo as the basis for the development of the initial part. The crew expanded its scope by developing ancient techniques adapted to the stylist's perspective. The printer is interpreted as the culmination or red thread that transforms the formulation of the work toward the end. The musical work Kulawarga Pencon is composed and structured into three parts with various patterned characters but sourced from existing gamelan with knob techniques adapted to the stylist's interpretation of the interpretive power. This work's result is music processing through a unique mindset and creative process. An experimental result represents the interaction between two cultures, namely Balinese and Javanese Gamelan, in the form of a distinctive instrument, which is then used as a medium for working on the formulation of the work. For 14 minutes, this work was played by 17 musicians, including arrangers, with support from students from the Gamelan Arts Study and Performing Arts Education program at the Indonesian Institute of Arts Denpasar.
