The spoken media used are as follows, flute gambuh, gumanak, kempur gambuh, gentorag, dun-dun, and Native American Flute. In creating this musical work, the arranger used the method from Alma M. Hawkins in the book Creating Through Dance (1964), which explains that the arranger went through 3 stages: Exploration, Improvisation and Forming. This relaxation music piece has two parts. In the first part, the author wants to emphasize further the tonal character of the gambuh flute, which is combined with the native American flute, and in the second part, the author creates a happy and happy atmosphere by processing the dun-dun, kempur, gumanak, and gentorag instruments.

Abstract

Considering the length and complexity of the process of making Balinese Gamelan, the process of learning to make instruments from bronze/kerawang is very important. Gamelan is one of the media expressed by Balinese composers in creating various musical compositions. However, before there is a composition, of course an instrument is needed as an important medium in realizing the musical idea. The process of making instruments from bronze or filigree is very interesting to learn to increase sensitivity to tones, the process of forging or forming blades, the tuning process, the process of making resonators/bumbung, and the process of making hangung/pelawah, as well as knowing the steps or stages of making instruments other. With the Internship/Practice program, it is hoped that it can awaken and maintain the enthusiasm of the next generation of young people in the field of arts and culture. Therefore, the author designed a work program with the title "From Blade to Pelawah: Understanding the Instrument Making Process of Pemade Semar Pegulingan Saih Pitu”.

Abstract

This article reviews the role of Gamelan recordings as archives in documenting the movement of Gamelan music in Bali. The research was conducted through observation and interviews to understand the practices and outcomes of using recordings in the Balinese cultural context. Through direct observation and interviews, this study explored various developments in playing techniques, styles, and composition forms. Recording is a process of capturing sound or images stored in digital or analogue format, serving as archives for work documentation, reproduction, and distribution. An archive consists of various documents, records, or other items stored for historical or administrative purposes. Archives may include written, audio, visual, or digital recordings encapsulating essential or valuable information in specific texts and contexts such as history, culture, and law. Thus, combining research methods has yielded a profound understanding of how recordings function as archives of the Gamelan music movement in Bali and have added value to the preservation and development of traditional culture. Furthermore, this article provides deep insights into how Gamelan recordings can be valuable in understanding the evolution of traditional Balinese music.

Abstract

This abstract shows how the meguru panggul and meguru kuping learning strategies are implemented at the Hari Dwipa Gamelan Group Art Studio in Tabanan Regency as an effort to regenerate art practitioners, especially musical art, among school-age children, namely Elementary School to High School. Data collection techniques for implementing the MBKM internship/work practice program are observation, interviews, literature study, and participation in all the Hari Dwipa Gamelan Group Studio program activities. The results of the data analysis are presented in a descriptive narrative. It was concluded that the meguru panggul process occurs when students see the direction and movement of the pelvis in the teacher's hands when playing the piece first. The meguru panggul process runs in harmony with the piece being played. It requires repetition until students combine their understanding with the sound or notes produced by the instrument. When students fully understand the notes in the piece played by the teacher, the meguru kuping process takes place; that is, students with sensitive ears can listen carefully and then pour the piece into the instrument. The meguru panggul and meguru kuping strategies in the learning process are practical and efficient, where students can easily play specific musical patterns.

Abstract

Institut Seni Indonesia Denpasar has committed to implementing the Real Work Lecture program to foster empathy and concern for various societal issues while enhancing the community's quality of life and well-being. This initiative is designed to address current societal challenges, cultivate a deeper cultural understanding, and strengthen the character of the millennial generation. By doing so, ISI Denpasar aims to empower them to preserve and pass on cultural heritage amidst the rapid changes brought about by the digital era. Through these efforts, a concept emerged to develop community service projects organized by ISI Denpasar, with a primary focus on nurturing and refining the musical sensibilities of the millennial generation. One proposed strategy involves utilizing the traditional gamelan Gong Suling as a medium to engage and inspire young individuals to appreciate and continue cultural traditions. This approach enriches their cultural experiences and equips them with valuable skills and perspectives needed to navigate and contribute meaningfully to contemporary society. ISI Denpasar believes that by fostering a strong sense of cultural identity and responsibility among millennials through programs like the Real Work Lecture and community service initiatives, they can effectively bridge the gap between tradition and modernity, ensuring the enduring relevance and vitality of Indonesia's rich cultural heritage.

Abstract

Adolescence is a transition period from childhood to adulthood, including mental, emotional, social, and physical maturity. In a cultural context, especially in Bali, teenagers certainly have a vital role because they will carry on the cultural heritage of their predecessors in the area where they live. In Rendang Village, a custom has become part of the culture, namely matetegen. Matetegen is a culture where people from different banjars in Rendang village exchange their living environments with the aim that later, if there are people from one of the banjars holding a Yadnya ceremony, people from other banjars can come together to help with the ceremony. From this culture, the author was inspired to create a work entitled "Jajar Wali," which will focus on teenagers in Rendang Village. In Balaganjur's "Jajar Wali" work, the artist relies on local arts and cultures in Rendang village by pouring them into the medium of Balaganjur Semarandana gamelan to create a harmonious atmosphere and give a majestic impression.

Abstract

"Marebu Agung" is an experimental music composition that inspired the idea of the Ngerebong ceremony in Kesiman Petilan Village, East Denpasar, Denpasar City. The composer's interest in the aspects of the Ngerebong ceremony, such as ritual aspects through the ceremony stages and musical elements through the instruments or gamelan that accompany the ceremony, drove the composer to realize it in an experimental artwork. In this case, the composer aimed to transform the Ngerebong ceremony into an experimental music composition by combining the musical aspects of the ceremony, including Ancag-ancagan or Leluangan motifs on the Gong Kebyar and motifs of Batel, Bapang, and kale on the Baleganjur Bebarongan. Marebu means neutralizing, while agung means nature, so marebu agung means neutralizing or purifying nature. In this case, it refers to the Ngerebong ceremony itself, carried out to purify the nature of Kesiman. Three problem formulations become the focus of this creation: how the creation process, form, and aesthetics. Methods used in the creation process is Panca Stithi Ngawi Sani from I Wayan Dibia, consisting of ngawirasa, ngewacak, ngerencana, ngawangun, and ngebah. This creation's theories include creativity, aesthetics, and transformation. This creation has a magical tone and highlights pattern processing based on combining two Karawitan motifs in the Ngerebong ceremony.

Abstract

The topic focused on in this article is the aesthetics of Gamelan Geguntangan in Bali. Gamelan Geguntangan is the material object of this research, while the formal object is the aesthetics contained in it. Gamelan Geguntangan is one of the gamelan variants still in Bali today and is a valuable Balinese artistic and cultural heritage. Gamelan Geguntangan has its charm because it is often used to accompany vocals performed by Arja dancers and by pesantian sekaa-sekaa in various regions in Bali. The basis for this initial understanding of aesthetics is how the author can feel the weight contained in Gamelan Geguntangan, and the author hopes to have the opportunity to work on a composition using Gamelan Geguntangan as a medium, but without reducing the aesthetics contained in it. Basic aesthetic properties such as unity, prominence, and balance, according to Djelantik's view, are also used as a reference to know the aesthetics of Gamelan Geguntangan apart from its weight. This study of one of the Balinese gamelan variants aims to understand Gamelan Geguntangan substantially, learning the changes in Gamelan Geguntangan and its aesthetic essence. The results obtained through this study or writing show that the aesthetics of Gamelan Geguntangan lie in one of its essential instruments, namely the Guntang instrument because the spirit of Gamelan Geguntangan lies in the instrument itself.
