Abstract

This study formulates the problem of “The performance structure of the Rateb Mensa tradition in Beutong Ateuh Banggalang District, Nagan Raya Regency.” The research employed a qualitative method with a field research approach. The objective of this study is to describe the “Performance structure of the Rateb Mensa tradition in Beutong Ateuh Banggalang District, Nagan Raya Regency.” Research data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and triangulation/combined techniques. The theoretical framework used is the performance structure theory proposed by Djelantik, supported by Endraswara’s perspective. The results indicate that the performance structure of the Rateb Mensa tradition consists of three stages: pre-performance, main performance, and post-performance, presented in the form of group dhikr led by a Syeh (religious leader). The tradition is performed to enliven the Eid al-Fitr celebration and is carried out for three to four consecutive nights by male participants aged between 15 and 60 years. The number of performers ranges from 40 to 70 people, forming circular and shaf (row) formations. The Rateb Mensa chants include Al-Fatihah, Eid takbir, dhikr, shalawat, and laweut (poetic verses). This study demonstrates that preserving Rateb Mensa requires support in the form of documentation, regeneration, and revitalization through a community-based approach, ensuring it remains meaningful as a living intangible cultural heritage of Aceh rather than merely a spectacle.

Abstract

Goong Renteng is a cultural heritage of the Sundanese people that is rich in philosophical values, especially those reflected in the concept of "silih asah, silih asih, silih asuh." This study aims to examine the philosophical and symbolic meanings of Goong Renteng, a traditional musical instrument from Sumedang, West Java, through a literature review. The research analyzes various sources, including books, scholarly articles, and previous studies, to explore how the structure, function, and use of Goong Renteng reflect the Sundanese worldview on togetherness, harmony, and the relationship between humans and nature. The findings indicate that Goong Renteng serves not only as a musical instrument but also as a symbol of local harmony and wisdom that must be preserved. Additionally, the study highlights the relevance of the values embedded in Goong Renteng in modern life, particularly in maintaining social and ecological balance. It is hoped that this research will contribute to the preservation of Sundanese culture and enrich the understanding of Indonesia'scultural heritage.

Abstract

Kolotok, originally a livestock marker used in rice fields, has been increasingly marginalized due to modern technological advances that replace cattle and buffalo with mechanical plowing. The disappearance of its distinctive sound has not only silenced the dynamic atmosphere of the paddies but also eroded the agrarian cultural identity of the Ciamis community. This study aims to explore the transformation and innovation of kolotok into a new bamboo musical instrument through the composition “Kolotouch”. The method combines field observation, organological experimentation, acoustic measurement, and the application of Pande Made Sukerta’s text and context theory. The result is the Kolbam, a modified kolotok with a bamboo tube design that produces unique timbres according to the chamber size, integrated into modern bamboo music repertoire. This creation demonstrates that local instrument innovation can revive agrarian cultural values while enriching contemporary musical expression.

Abstract

This article presents the creation of a new karawitan music composition titled “GukKatura”, inspired by the Singuk ornamentation technique found in the Gayo flute (Suling Gayo) performance of the Sebuku (Pepongoten) tradition from Central Aceh. The main focus is the musical interpretation of the Acciaccatura ornament, perceived as a leaping grace note, and reimagined through a reinterpretative approach. The composition incorporates a range of experimental instruments such as drone flute, PVC saxophone, and fujara, and utilizes compositional techniques including call and response, interlocking, hocketing, and polymeter. The creative process involved field observation, interviews with tradition bearers, instrument exploration, and performance realization. GukKatura introduces a fresh perspective in transforming traditional ornamentation into a contemporary composition, contributing to the enrichment of Indonesian karawitan music.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the electric guitar techniques used by Mateus Asato in his version of How Deep Is Your Love. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method, with the researcher as the primary instrument, supported by tools such as an electric guitar, a laptop, Sibelius software, and YouTube. Data were collected through direct observation of Mateus Asato’s performance videos on YouTube and through document analysis, including scores and video recordings of his interpretation of the song.The results reveal that Mateus Asato uses a variety of distinctive electric guitar techniques, including hybrid picking, slide, bending, vibrato, legato, hammer-on and pull-off, chord melody, palm muting, and artificial harmonics, combined with expressive dynamics and articulation. These techniques contribute to a performance that is emotionally rich and musically nuanced, demonstrating a high level of technical skill and interpretative depth. The findings are expected to serve as a valuable reference for guitarists looking to expand their technical skills and deepen their understanding of artistic expression in song interpretation.
