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.

Abstract

Diaspora is the phenomenon of the dispersion of members of an ethnic group, nation, or religious community who migrate and settle in various parts of the world outside their homeland. Although far from their country of origin, they continue to maintain their identity and emotional ties with their ancestral land. Medan, as one of the major cities in Indonesia, is home to diverse ethnic groups, including the Tamil Community originating from Tamil Nadu, South India. The Tamil community has contributed to the development of plantations and cultural life in Medan. Initially, they came as laborers, but now they have become part of the local society while still preserving their traditions, including the celebration of Thaipusam. During the Thaipusam celebration in Medan, there is distinctive Tamil music brought from Malaysia to accompany the ceremony. Musical instruments such as the nadaswaram and thavil serve as a link between the Tamil community and their ancestral culture. This music also introduces the richness of Tamil culture to the Indonesian people.  The research uses a qualitative approach from an ethnomusicological perspective. The results show that diaspora music not only functions as part of the ritual but also helps introduce Tamil culture to the broader Indonesian society.

Abstract

This study examines the social and cultural functions of sigu lewuö, a traditional bamboo flute of the Nias community, through an ethnomusicological approach. The research was conducted in Gunungsitoli and South Nias using qualitative methods, including observation, in-depth interviews with local musicians and community leaders, and literature review. The findings reveal that sigu lewuö has experienced a significant transformation in both meaning and function within contemporary Nias society. Originally associated with mourning rituals and ceremonial contexts, the instrument is now widely used as a medium of entertainment, artistic performance, and cultural preservation. In addition, sigu lewuö serves as an accompaniment to traditional songs, a form of artistic expression, and a symbol of ethnic identity among younger generations. This transformation reflects the adaptive strategies of the Nias community in maintaining and revitalizing traditional cultural practices amid ongoing social, cultural, and technological changes.

Abstract

This study describes the technique of making the traditional musical instrument Sisibah Drum preserved by Mr. Atur Pandapotan Solin at the Ninanola Studio, Sukaramai Village, Pakpak Bharat Regency. Sisibah Drum is a traditional musical instrument originating from the Pakpak tribe. This musical instrument is classified as a struck membranophone (a musical instrument whose sound source comes from skin or membrane that is played by being hit). Sisibah Drum has spiritual value and social function in carrying out traditional ceremonies such as Kerja Mbaik and Kerja Njahat. This study aims to examine and describe in depth the process of making Sisibah Drum, including its physical structure, materials and tools used, and the role of this music in the cultural life of the Pakpak people. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and visual documentation. The theoretical framework includes the organological theory of Sushumu Kashima to examine the physical and structural aspects of the instrument, the Sachs-Hornbostel classification used in classifying instrument types, and the theory of musical function according to A.P. Merriam. The results of this study indicate that the Sisibah Drum is still made using traditional methods and techniques that are still used today. Local materials used in the Sisibah Drum making process consist of several types, such as Mbrabas wood, coffee wood, and animal skin. The stages used start from material selection, forming the instrument body, installing the membrane, and tuning the sound. In addition to being a musical instrument, the Sisibah Drum also functions as a means of spiritual communication and a symbol of the Pakpak tribe's cultural identity. The Ninanola Studio plays an active role in  preserving the Sisibah Drum musical instrument to this day.
