Abstract

Music plays an important role in life, especially in the entertainment industry. Live music performances in cafes provide direct entertainment, creating a relaxed atmosphere and attracting visitors. This study uses a mixed-methods design that combines qualitative and quantitative approaches. In the initial qualitative stage, the study explored the form of the Soulface band's music presentation through observation and interviews with band members. The quantitative stage involved distributing questionnaires to 66 cafe visitors to measure the effectiveness of the presentation in attracting visitors. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression to assess the relationship between presentation format and visitor attraction. The second qualitative stage then explored the impact of music presentation descriptively through interviews with three visitors. The study's results show that Soulface's performance is compelling and significant in attracting visitors. In addition, live music has a positive impact on visitors' cognitive, emotional, behavioral, social, and symbolic aspects. These findings confirm that music has a strategic role in supporting business success, especially in creating appeal and positive experiences in cafes.

Abstract

This study aims to describe in depth the various stages of the creative process undertaken by Vocal Groove in creating music content, as well as to analyze creative solutions to overcome constraints in creating music content.  This study uses qualitative methods, with data collection based on observation of Vocal Groove content on TikTok, in-depth interviews with members and the founder of the Vocal Groove community, and supporting documentation.  This research examines the creative process of the Vocal Groove community in creating music content on TikTok, focusing on the case study " Never Enough ." This research uses Graham Wallas' four-stage theory of creativity, namely preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification.  The results show that the creative process is iterative.  Various obstacles, such as member absences, differences in understanding the song, and technical problems, are overcome through creative solutions such as role-sharing, independent practice, group practice, and team collaboration.  Despite limitations, Vocal Groove is still able to produce engaging, high-quality music content through collective work and social media adaptation.

Abstract

The song Nyello' Aeng tells of an activity carried out by villagers who still use or utilize water for their daily needs. The song Nyello' Aeng also tells the story of a village maiden and her activity, Nyello' Aeng, which in Indonesian means "to fetch water." Ul-Daul's musical arrangement of Nyello' Aeng is more interesting and encourages the community to sing along. The presentation is now modern, so the community can clearly hear Nyello' Aeng. The selection of the song Nyello' Aeng for the Ul-Daul musical arrangement was based on the opportunity within the scope of Ul-Daul music. According to Jaka Mahendra, it is rare for Ul-Daul music groups to arrange the song Nyello' Aeng, so Jaka Mahendra wanted to take advantage of this moment to give a new touch to the song Nyello' Aeng.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the structure and musical meaning in Soegi Bornean's song Asmalibrasi using a musical form analysis and musical aesthetics approach. As a popular musical work rich in expression, Asmalibrasi is worth further analysis, not only in its lyrics but also in its musical elements as written in the score. The method used is a qualitative descriptive approach with score analysis, including observation of song form, expression marks, dynamics, articulation, and harmonic progression. The results of the study show that this song has a three-part form (A–B–A′) with divisions into intro, verse, chorus, bridge, interlude, and coda. Expression marks play an important role in shaping emotional meaning. Changes in dynamics, chord progressions, and phrase structure show an emotional journey from calm to climax and back to silence. In conclusion, Asmalibrasi is not only pleasant to listen to but also features a strong, expressive musical structure. This song shows that popular music can be analyzed scientifically and contains deep aesthetic value.

Case studies of five students demonstrate substantial progress in communication, self-regulation, and social interaction.

Abstract

This study aims to describe Mawang's creative process in arranging the song "Sial" and to analyze its melodic structure.  The research used qualitative methods, including observation, online interviews via WhatsApp video calls, and document analysis.  Mawang took a creative approach by listening to the original version of the song in depth and developing musical ideas spontaneously, without altering its structure, arrangement, or musical elements, as a form of respect for Mahalini's work.  The production process involved simultaneous recording of vocals and instruments, followed by mixing and mastering.  The song's melodic structure consists of Verse I, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, Verse II, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, Bridge, and Coda.  Analysis of the melodic motifs reveals four in the Verse section, two in the Pre-Chorus, five in the Chorus, four in the Bridge, and five in the Coda.  These motifs involve literal repetition techniques, ascending and descending sequences, and augmentation.  This study shows that the creative process is an important medium for developing ideas for unique and diverse arrangements.
