Abstract

Gamelan Selonding is a form of traditional music found in Tenganan Pegringsingan village, with a pelog tujuh nada in barungan alit classification that is sacred, unique, and deeply rooted in the community. The traditional way of life and productive religious activities with their numerous manifestations ensure Gamelan Selonding’s continuity and authenticity. According to historical dynamics, the influence of external culture and its various modernization styles disrupted Gamelan Selonding’s existence, resulting in its commodification. The commodification of Gamelan Selonding is a process that encompasses three stages, namely production, distribution, and consumption. In production, Gamelan Selonding is duplicated into a commodity by imitating its original form; distribution is an attempt to spread Gamelan Selonding production, which increases development consequences; and consumption Gamelan Selonding is used as a ritual compliment and an artistic medium. The Gamelan Selonding’s commodification occurs due to its adaptable nature; it can accept, absorb, and adapt to changing circumstances, resulting in a diversity of functions, not limited to ritual contexts, but a broader social context. The commodification of Gamelan Selonding is an artistic dynamic that empowers the potential of traditional arts in the formulation of contemporary performing arts expressions, accepted as a local spectacle capable of competing in a global culture.

Abstract

Throughout the timeless centuries before the modern era, the people of the proud state of Kelantan enjoyed ‘Mak Yong,’ a traditional form of entertainment. The ‘Mak Yong’ performance brought the people together to view this folk dance-drama, largely because it was created by their ancestors and represented continuity and cultural heritage. This dance also served to heal illness, performed by mixed-gender entertainers. Significantly, this authentic performance was worldly inscribed in 2008 on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. However, due to the interpretation of the politicized religious aspect of Kelantan state government, this performance was reconstructed by eliminating the female components. The new form of male Mak Yong was created. This research aims to discuss the contemporary issue of Kelantan Mak Yong and to propose the safeguarding method that compromises between culture and religion by reflecting the lessons learned from three participation anthropological fieldworks as a Mak Yong practitioner, a traditional dance-drama researcher, and a traditional dance-drama lecturer from 2014 until the present day. This study applied multi-disciplinary approaches such as performing arts and dance studies, anthropology, and gender analysis to investigate and collect the data. The results found that, instead of eliminating the female components, Kelantan Mak Yong can be utilized as a means for cultivating gendered behaviour, inculcating the religious doctrine, transmitting the moral-coded, and enhancing self-empowerment for Kelantan society by incorporating the guideline of the state arts policy (Dasar Kesenian Kelantan) to the performance’s components.

Abstract

Keben for the Balinese is a medium that functions to package ceremonial facilities made of bamboo. Craftsmen in Kayubihi village, Bangli sub-district produce kebens with various designs of vernacular typography motifs that have the opportunity to be developed in the form of digital typefaces. This study aims to: (1) analyze the vernacular typographic design of the keben motif and its opportunities in the creation of digital typefaces; (2) analyze the meaning of keben in Kayubihi village in a socio-cultural context. Qualitative methods are used in this study. Typographic design principles consisting of legibility, readability, visibility, and clarity are used to analyze the vernacular typography of the keben motifs, while Saussure’s semiotic approach is used to give meaning to the keben of Kayubihi village from the spirit and the concept behind it. Data collection strategies were carried out by observation and interviews, online and offline. Meanwhile, data analysis was carried out by interpreting, namely interpreting in-depth the collected data according to the research objectives. The results show that the vernacular typography of the keben motifs was arranged alphabetically to form words as a symbol of identity. Geometric motifs inspired by the environment around the craftsmen can be classified into five groups: the sun, flowers, traditional fabrics, objects, and cultural symbols of Balinese Hinduism. These motifs can be developed into digital typefaces. Keben in Kayubihi village spiritually means creativity, preservation of culture and identity. This creativity can be used as a source of inspiration in designing typefaces that offer novelty. The vernacular typography design with the Keben motif is indigenous creativity, representing the identity of the local Balinese culture.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the finalists’ learning patterns and outcomes at the 2018 Valerio International Guitar Festival. It is qualitative research with the phenomenological approach. It was conducted in the final round of the open category of the 2018 Valerio International Guitar Festival. The informants in this study include the finalists, judges, and organizers. The data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The research findings show that the music learning process among the finalists of the 2018 Valerio International Guitar Festival is carried out through lectures (formal), courses (non-formal), and community (non-formal). The learning patterns experienced by the finalists have shaped the competitive mentality of the finalists of the 2018 Valerio International Guitar Festival. The competitive mentality formed includes: (1) increasing repertoire mastery which reflects independence in achieving the target of mastery of the chosen repertoire that will be performed; and (2) the mentality to perform on stage in the competition arena. In this mentality, the finalists have high motivation when performing on the stage. The motivation that grows comes from within and outside the finalists. In addition, the finalists also have the mentality to be ready to face various possibilities that will be experienced, both in terms of musical and non-musical abilities, such as how to use the right strategy when facing the audience and maintain calm while playing.

Abstract

Gamelan instruments, which have a distinctive tone system (scale) or are called laras, are a challenge for contemporary composers in their working techniques. In contrast to Western music which uses a “well-tempered” system, gamelan music has a distinctive phenomenon in its tone system, including the absence of standardization of basic notes and tone intervals. This article aims to analyze the concept of garap and the phenomenon of the use of laras) in contemporary gamelan music. The method used is content analysis, by taking four contemporary gamelan works that use the concept of garap on the use of a new scale, which is auditorily difficult to identify the scales in conventional musical knowledge. The content used is in the form of audio recordings and notations, which are then analyzed by various parametric musical aspects. The results show that there were two directions of garap on the tone systems (scale) in contemporary gamelan music. First, the direction of the garap is done by limiting the tones of the tone systems used in constructing the sound both vertically and horizontally. As in Supanggah’s “Thongkleng,” only five of the seven notes are used in the laras pelog. Meanwhile, in Mack’s “Crosscurrent,” only four tones are used out of the five notes in the laras degung. The direction of the second interpretation is to expand the tone by mixing other tones to build the impression of a new tone. In O’Neil’s “Lesson of Garden” and Gunawan’s “Noname and Nothing,” there is a chromatic approach to melodic contours to obscure the impression of conventional tone. O’Neil focuses more on melodic tone processing, while in Gunawan’s work, the tone processing is more rhythmic and random.

Abstract

The tembang macapat can be classified using its cultural concepts of guru lagu, guru wilangan, and guru gatra. People may face difficulties recognizing certain songs based on the established rules. This study aims to build classification models of tembang macapat using a simple yet powerful Naïve  Bayes classifier. The Naive Bayes can generate high-accuracy values from sparse data. This study modifies the concept of Guru Lagu by retrieving the last vowel of each line. At the same time, guru wilangan’s guidelines are amended by counting the number of all characters (Model 2) rather than calculating the number of syllables (Model 1). The data source is serat wulangreh with 11 types of tembang macapat, namely maskumambang, mijil, sinom, durma, asmaradana, kinanthi, pucung, gambuh, pangkur, dandhanggula, and megatruh. The k-fold cross-validation is used to evaluate the performance of 88 data. The result shows that the proposed Model 1 performs better than Model 2 in macapat classification. This promising method opens the potential of using a data mining classification engine as cultural teaching and preservation media.

Abstract

Songs as learning media provide an aesthetic experience for students and can also teach character. Academics in many countries pay little attention to this issue because songs are mostly used to memorize foreign language vocabulary. This study investigates teachers’ perceptions of using songs to build students’ character. This study focuses on exploring teachers’ perceptions of the development of religious character as a core character in the curriculum in Indonesia through songs. The case study design was employed by involving 45 elementary school teachers spread over several districts in West Java province. This research was carried out in several stages; First, by preparing questionnaires distributed online; Second, by following up the answers to the questionnaire by conducting in-depth interviews; Third, by analyzing the data in an inductive-thematic manner in relation to learning problems, psychological and social issues arose. The research resulted in themes related to teachers’ perceptions of developing students’ religious character through religious songs. Four themes were explored in-depth related to teacher appreciation for songs, the benefits of religious songs, teacher challenges, and instructional design. It can be drawn that the song function was not only limited to developing a cognitive domain that functioned to remember and collect facts and data but could also be a means of developing students’ characters, especially religious characters. From the teacher’s perspective, religious songs were able to develop students’ religiosity dimension, including students’ beliefs, worship, appreciation, knowledge, and morals. Hence, this study contributes to the importance of developing songs related to religious themes to develop national character.

Abstract

This research departs from the background that Sandur has a form of sublimation of transcendent normativity values conveyed through folk theater products. The main focus of the problem’s formulation in this study is to analyze the symbol system in Sandur, which is to connect to the meaning of transcendence normativity to be associated with the area of civilized society in the era of globalization. The aim is to prove the existence of the normative meaning of transcendence from the symbol system of Sandur’s spectacle and to implement the meaning of the normativity of the transcendence of Sandur as an effort to civilize society to face the negativity of globalization. The analysis in this study was carried out using descriptive qualitative methods through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature, then described based on the concept of Clifford Geertz’s interpretive anthropology. The results obtained in this study are (1) the symbol system in Sandur’s rituals, scenes, and songs has a transcendent normativity in the form of Mutmainah’s attitude and Beyond meaning, as a network of interactions and relationships in the vertical and horizontal dimensions, and (2) the transcendence civilization of Sandur’s spectacle in the era of globalization through Beyond meanings and attitudes Mutmainah to face the negative culture of globalization that allows the occurrence of cultural and moral decadence. The problem that becomes the focus of the transcendence civilization of Sandur’s spectacle in this study is not rejecting the achievement of globalization progress but rather an attempt to internalize the values in the sign of globalization to maintain the mentality of cultural ecstasy of the people born of transcendence normativity.

Abstract

This case study aims to give an overview of the structural process of dance mentoring module and investigate its impact in Malaysian dance education, exemplifying CBTS program, known as Certificate in Ballet Teaching Study. For this study, the researchers have employed Eric Parloe’s mentoring model as a theoretical tool to re-interpret the process of CBTS mentoring module. Focusing on insider’s approach, also known as the emic perspective, the researchers used qualitative methods, such as interviews, auto-ethnography, and archive analysis. To discuss the necessity of the mentoring module, the researchers have examined the structure and process of CBTS 404 Mentoring Module first. After that, this study scrutinized student-teachers’ purpose and experience while they were enrolling in the CBTS program and analyzed the influence of the mentoring module based on the perspective and experience of the currently certified mentors. Lastly, the researchers have explored the impacts of the mentoring module based on previous experience of the student-teachers and mentors. Based on these analyses, the researchers have argued that the mentoring module, CBTS404, plays an actual role in teaching how to apply acquired theoretical knowledge to practical teaching environments.

Abstract

Research related to performance art in Indonesia has been carried out but has not been studied in-depth, and the topics are different from those analyzed by researchers. This study aims to describe the characteristics of motion and music and to know the relationship between the actions of the performer’s body in the performance. Qualitative methods were used in this study with an interdisciplinary approach. Data sources are obtained from performers and audiences, while data collection techniques are through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis used RoseLee Goldberg’s performance art theory. These findings include 1) the characteristics of the performer’s body movements spontaneously visualizing gross and fine movements that are artistically related to music and other elements, and 2) the characteristics of music that spontaneously accompanies the performer’s body movements. The benefits of research on the performance art of “Touching the Heart for a Broken Wing” can be understood and appreciated by the public as a new form of art that provides new value to the art treasures in Indonesia.
