This ensemble is found in a variety of contexts in Burma, including monastic festivals, rituals of the spirits and sporting events. This example features the full hsaing waing troupe, including: patt waing (tuned drum circle), hne (oboe), kyi waing (gong circle), si and wa (bell and clapper), among others.

KULINTANG ENSEMBLE: “Sinulog a Kangungudan,” traditional Magindanaon melody. The Kulintang ensemble is associated with the Muslim peoples of the Philippines. The two main popular styles are those of the Magindanaons and Maranaos, the two largest Muslim groups in the Mindanao islands. This example is representative of the Magindanaon style. There are three modes in the Magindanaon kulintang, each characterized by its own rhythms and melodies: binalig, sinulog, and tidtu. This example is in the newer sinulog mode. The Magindanaon kulintang ensemble features the following instruments: kulintang (row of eight graduated gongs; develops the melodic patterns), agung (two large, thick-rimmed hanging gongs; reinforces the rhythm), gandingan (4 large, thin-rimmed hanging gongs; reinforces the rhythm and plays secondary melodic part), babandil (small, thin-rimmed hanging gong; time keeper), and dabakan (goblet-shaped or hourglass-shaped drum; keeps a steady rhythm).

  • Philippine Music Instruments CORAZON CANAVE-DIOQUINO Music Instruments, Mechanisms That Produce Sounds, Have Been Used for Various Purposes
    Philippine Music Instruments CORAZON CANAVE-DIOQUINO Music instruments, mechanisms that produce sounds, have been used for various purposes. In earlier times they were also used as an adjunct to dance or to labor. In later civilizations, instrumental music was used for entertainment. Present day musicological studies, following the Hornbostel-Sachs classification, divide instruments into the following categories: idiophones, aerophones, chordophones, and membranophones. Idiophones Instruments that produce sound from the substance of the instrument itself (wood or metal) are classified as idiophones. They are further subdivided into those that are struck, scraped, plucked, shaken, or rubbed. In the Philippines there are metal and wooden (principally bamboo) idiophones. Metal idiophonse are of two categories: flat gongs and bossed gongs. Flat gongs made of bronze, brass, or iron, are found principally in the north among the Isneg, Tingguian, Kalinga, Bontok, Ibaloi, Kankanai, Gaddang, Ifugao, and Ilonggot. They are most commonly referred to as gangsa . The gongs vary in sized, the average are struck with wooden sticks, padded wooden sticks, or slapped with the palm of the hand. Gong playing among the Cordillera highlanders is an integral part of peace pact gatherings, marriages, prestige ceremonies, feasts, or rituals. In southern Philippines, gongs have a central profusion or knot, hence the term bossed gongs. They are three of types: (1) sets of graduated gongs laid in a row called the kulintang ; (2) larger, deep-rimmed gongs with sides that are turned in called agung , and (3) gongs with narrower rims and less prominent bosses called gandingan . These gongs may be played alone but are often combined with other instruments to form various types of ensembles.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE “Sound Come-Unity”: Post-9/11 Brown and the Politics of Intercultural Improvisation A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music by Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker September 2019 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Deborah Wong, Chairperson Dr. Robin D.G. Kelley Dr. René T.A. Lysloff Dr. Liz Przybylski Copyright by Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker 2019 The Dissertation of Dhirendra Mikhail Panikker is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgments Writing can feel like a solitary pursuit. It is a form of intellectual labor that demands individual willpower and sheer mental grit. But like improvisation, it is also a fundamentally social act. Writing this dissertation has been a collaborative process emerging through countless interactions across musical, academic, and familial circles. This work exceeds my role as individual author. It is the creative product of many voices. First and foremost, I want to thank my advisor, Professor Deborah Wong. I can’t possibly express how much she has done for me. Deborah has helped deepen my critical and ethnographic chops through thoughtful guidance and collaborative study. She models the kind of engaged and political work we all should be doing as scholars. But it all of the unseen moments of selfless labor that defines her commitment as a mentor: countless letters of recommendations, conference paper coachings, last minute grant reminders. Deborah’s voice can be found across every page. I am indebted to the musicians without whom my dissertation would not be possible. Priya Gopal, Vijay Iyer, Amir ElSaffar, and Hafez Modirzadeh gave so much of their time and energy to this project.

  • East Java – Bali Power Distribution Strengthening Project
    *OFFICIAL USE ONLY PT PLN (Persero) East Java – Bali Power Distribution Strengthening Project Environmental & Social Management Planning Framework (Version for Disclosure) January 2020 *OFFICIAL USE ONLY BASIC INFORMATION 1. Country and Project Name: Indonesia – East Java & Bali Power Distribution Strengthening Project 2. Project Development Objective: The expansion of the distribution network comprises erection of new poles, cable stringing, and installation of distribution transformers. 3. Expected Project Benefits: Construction of about 17,000 km distribution lines and installation of distribution transformers in East Java and Bali 4. Identified Project Environmental and Social Risks: Social Risks. It is envisaged that this project will require (i) use of no more than 0.2 m2 of land for installation of concrete poles and approximately 4m2 for installation of transformers (either in cabinet of between two concrete poles or on one pole); limited directional drilling (approx. 200-300m) to run cables under major roads and limited trenching (usually less than 500m) in urban environments, and (iii) possible removal of non-land assets (primarily trimming or felling of trees) for stringing of conductors. While restrictions on land use within the existing right of way apply, the land requirements for the distribution network (lines and transformers) are considered manageable with normal mitigation measures. Project activities will not (i) require land acquisition, (ii) cause physical or economic displacement; and/or (ii) result in adverse impacts to Indigenous Peoples groups and/or members of ethnic minorities. Environmental risks are principally induced by the establishment of the network across natural habitats and potential impact on fauna (in particular avifauna and terrestrial fauna susceptible to access the distribution lines or transformers such as monkeys or other tree dwelling scavenging animals that frequent semi urban environments), and the management of waste (e.g.

  • Kolintang Studies During a Pandemic
    [Working Paper] Kolintang Studies during a Pandemic MATT MENGER Matt Menger has bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music from the University of Houston, and continued his studies with courses in World Arts at Dallas International University. He is an Arts Consultant with SIL and has worked in Southeast Asia for the past ten years. Matt has a particular interest in the interaction of local arts and religion, as well as in arts revitalization movements. He is a member of the Society for Ethnomusicology, the International Council for Traditional Music, and the Global Ethnodoxology Network. Introduction Just over a year ago, my family and I relocated to a new city in Indonesia: Manado, near the northern tip of the island of Sulawesi. Although we have lived in Indonesia for over ten years, and in a different city on Sulawesi for the past nine, moving to a new location requires starting over: building new relationships in our neighborhood, meeting the artistic community, building relationships with new coworkers, learning and understanding the cultural differences here from where we lived previously, and much more. Doing research for a graduate class in learning a new art form, for which I initially wrote this paper, was not only an excellent way to begin learning about all of the above but is also a path to how I might be able to better serve this community. Choosing a Focus As I considered which artistic tradition to pursue for this course, I was torn, primarily due to the history of this area of Indonesia. There has been a colonial presence in North Sulawesi since the 1600s, with influences from the Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and English (Ricklefs 2008).
