Abstract

This study investigates the digital transformation of Tari Piring, a traditional Minangkabau plate dance, as it is reinterpreted in contemporary YouTube performances. The research applies visual semiotic analysis and the frameworks of cultural hybridity and mediatization to examine how traditional symbols and values are preserved, modified, or reimagined in digital formats. Three case studies student and community performances recorded between 2020 and 2024 reveal a consistent pattern of visual innovation: traditional props and movements are retained but recontextualized through EDM remixes, neon costumes, and camera-enhanced choreography. Using thematic coding and interpretive analysis, the study identifies key dynamics in these transformations: preservation of iconic symbols, adaptation to digital visual aesthetics, and repositioning of dance as a public, performative commodity. The findings suggest that digital platforms not only mediate cultural expression but actively reshape it, encouraging younger performers to use Tari Piring as a space for identity negotiation and creative experimentation. While these adaptations offer opportunities for cultural revitalization, they also risk aestheticizing tradition in ways that prioritize spectacle over substance. The research concludes that Tari Piring in the digital era exemplifies a hybrid cultural form both rooted and reinvented underscoring the need for critical engagement with heritage in digital performance landscapes.

Abstract

The aesthetic dimensions of music have attracted increasing scholarly attention due to their potential to enhance psychological well-being. This narrative review aimed to synthesize conceptual, empirical, and contextual perspectives on music aesthetics and mental health. Literature was collected from major academic databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed, using keywords such as aesthetic appeal, music therapy, emotion in music, and mental health. Inclusion criteria focused on peer-reviewed studies addressing the relationship between music and psychological outcomes, while exclusion criteria removed works unrelated to aesthetics or lacking empirical grounding. Both qualitative and quantitative studies were included to ensure breadth and depth. Findings revealed diverse conceptual frameworks, ranging from psychological and historical analyses to therapeutic models and cross-cultural interpretations. Empirical evidence demonstrated significant improvements in mental health outcomes associated with music engagement, with statistical data confirming the benefits of both active creation and passive appreciation. Paradoxically, even sad music was found to generate pleasurable and beneficial experiences, reflecting the complexity of emotional responses. Cross-national studies highlighted cultural variability, showing that aesthetic experiences are deeply shaped by social, economic, and institutional contexts. The discussion linked these findings to systemic barriers, emphasizing the need for more inclusive methodologies, cross-cultural research, and policy frameworks that support equitable access to aesthetic practices. Overall, the review confirms the therapeutic and social significance of music aesthetics while calling for greater inclusivity, methodological innovation, and systemic support. These findings suggest that advancing music aesthetics in research, education, and health services represents a crucial strategy for fostering psychological resilience and social cohesion.

Abstract

This narrative review explores how contemporary art criticism and cultural studies intersect to illuminate sociopolitical narratives within global artistic practices. The study aims to analyze how art functions as both an aesthetic form and a medium of political engagement, focusing on themes of critique, identity, commodification, and memory. A systematic literature search was conducted using Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, employing keywords such as art criticism, cultural studies, sociopolitical narratives, contemporary art, and identity politics. Inclusion criteria prioritized peer-reviewed works from 2000 to 2025 addressing sociopolitical contexts in art. The analysis revealed four dominant themes. First, art serves as a medium of political critique, providing platforms for resistance and public dialogue in contexts ranging from Kazakhstan to Mexico. Second, art mediates ideology and identity, reflecting tensions shaped by migration, gender, and globalization. Third, the global art market plays a paradoxical role by both enabling and constraining critical voices, often subordinating cultural meaning to economic value. Fourth, spectral theory offers insight into how art engages with trauma and collective memory across diverse cultural contexts. These findings highlight the influence of systemic political and economic forces on art while affirming its potential as a catalyst for dialogue and transformation. Policy support, educational integration, and digital innovation are identified as key strategies to strengthen art’s critical role. Future research should expand cross-cultural comparisons and explore digital methodologies to address current gaps. The review underscores art’s continuing relevance as a vehicle for sociopolitical critique in a globalized world.

Abstract

Contemporary Indonesian choral compositions increasingly incorporate traditional musical idioms such as gamelan and kecak into modern SATB frameworks. This study explores how selected choral works reinterpret these idioms by prioritizing rhythm, vocal texture, and articulation over conventional harmonic progressions. The objective is to understand how rhythm can function as a primary harmonic agent in a cappella settings. The methodology involves analytical comparison of three compositions Janger (Budi Susanto Yohanes), Cikala le Pong Pong, and Hela Rotan (both by Ken Steven). Through transcription, rhythm mapping, and texture classification, this study reveals the strategic layering of rhythmic motifs, percussive vocal effects, and responsorial structures across SATB and divisi settings. Results show that Janger employs interlocking vocal ostinati and contrasting articulations to emulate gamelan textures. Cikala le Pong Pong uses body percussion, chest voice, and glissandi to generate dissonant harmonic fields. Hela Rotan adapts Eastern Indonesian rhythmic idioms through responsorial phrasing, leading to emergent polyphonic verticalities. These techniques collectively redefine choral harmony through rhythmic density and vocal layering. Discussion highlights how these works negotiate cultural fidelity and artistic innovation. They challenge Western centric harmonic paradigms by elevating rhythm and texture as compositional pillars. Such approaches not only contribute to decolonizing harmonic theory but also enrich global choral repertoires through culturally grounded, structurally inventive music.

Abstract

This study explores the application of Self Determination Theory (SDT) in digital music education for Generation Z learners in Indonesia. Drawing on autonomy, competence, and relatedness, the study investigates how motivational constructs can be embedded in digital platforms to enhance student engagement and creativity. Using a mixed methods approach, 94 secondary students participated in an 8 week digital music project using DAWs such as BandLab and Soundtrap. Data were collected through pre/post motivation surveys, project reflections, and peer feedback logs. Results revealed significant increases in perceived autonomy (3.2→4.1), competence (3.0→4.3), and relatedness (2.8→4.0), supported by thematic analysis of digital interactions. Collaborative feedback, genre based task choice, and scaffolded skill development were found to be critical motivational drivers. The integration of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles further supported inclusive and engaging curriculum design. The study concludes that SDT aligned digital practices foster intrinsic motivation and sustained participation in music education. Implications are drawn for curriculum design, teacher training, and national education policy, particularly in contexts facing infrastructural disparities.
