Abstract

This study aims to analyse how digital technology reshapes the media, performance forms, and aesthetic values of Sundanese karawitan in contemporary practice. The analysis focuses on three main themes: digital media transformation, hybrid performance forms, and performative aesthetics. Using a narrative review approach, this study synthesises open-access literature published between 2020 and 2025 to examine the influence of digital platforms, remote music production, and online dissemination on the transformation of traditional musical expression. The findings reveal three main transformations. First, digital media expand the functions of documentation, distribution, and interaction, enabling broader access to karawitan. Second, technology-based experimentation gives rise to hybrid performances that integrate Sundanese musical structures with electronic sound processing, virtual instruments, and multisensory stage design. Third, aesthetic experience shifts towards interactive and participatory forms through live responses, digital visualisation, and real-time sound manipulation. Despite these opportunities, challenges emerge in the form of sonic homogenisation and the risk of cultural commodification. This study concludes that Sundanese karawitan creators act as cultural mediators who navigate between traditional values and technological innovation. Strengthening digital literacy, cultural sensitivity, and ethical production practices is essential to sustain the development of karawitan in the digital era.

Abstract

This research aims to reveal the symbolic meanings contained in the Badud performing art during the harvest ceremony in Margacinta Village, Cijulang District, Pangandaran Regency. The focus of the study is directed toward the musical elements, dance, costumes, and ritual sequence that shape the structure of the Badud performance as part of the agrarian traditions of the local community. This study employs a qualitative method with an ethnomusicological approach, which integrates musical analysis with socio-cultural contexts to understand function, structures, and meaning of Badud I community life. Data were collected through direct observation of the Badud performance, audio-visual recording, and in-depth interviews with cultural figures, artists, and community leaders. The data analysis technique uses the interactive model of Miles and Huberman (data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing), strengthened by Roland Barthes semiotic theory to explore denotative, connotative, and mythical meanings within the symbolic elements of the performance. The findings show that Badud contains agrarian symbols related to hopes for fertility, protection of crops, and expressions of gratitude for the harvest. The music of dog-dog, angklung, and kempul creates a ritual atmosphere believed to repel pests, while the animal costumes represent the dynamics of nature and the relationship between humans and cosmological forces. Overall, Badud functions as both a ritual medium and a cultural identity that reflects the spiritual values and everyday life of the Margacinta community.
