Tuning in Gender Wayang: Voices, Concepts, and Analysis Tuning in Gender Wayang: voices, concepts, and analysis by I Made Kartawan B.A. (S.Sn), Sekolah Tinggi Seni Indonesia (STSI) Denpasar, 1997 Master (M.Si), Udayana University Denpasar, 2003 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Ethnomusicology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) January 2014 © I Made Kartawan, 2014 i Abstract This thesis brings light to gender wayang’s (metallophone ensemble) unique and complex tuning system, which has yet to be explored thoroughly in academic circles. In the thesis I examine the tuning of gender wayang instruments through cultural and scientific analysis of the four Balinese tuning concepts ulu suara (pitch), sruti (interval), angkep-angkepan (octave), and ombak (waves). The cultural analysis focuses on the ways that pande gong (metalsmiths), tukang laras (gamelan tuners), juru gender (gender wayang musicians), and dalang (puppeteers) conceptualize the tuning of gender wayang instruments. I juxtapose their perspectives against measurements of nine sets of gender wayang instruments that are spread throughout four of Bali’s nine regencies—Gianyar (Central Bali), Tabanan (West Bali), Badung (South Bali), and Buleleng (North Bali)—and then analyze the measurements with particular attention focused on the four concepts. Following the discussion of these concepts, and informed by them, I investigate tuning levels and their connection to dalang. The thesis also describes gender wayang instrument construction in detail. This provides the reader with suitable background information about the relationship between tukang laras and pande gong. ii Preface This thesis is original, unpublished, independent work by the

  • Halt to New Hotel Development in Bali
    JURISDICTION UPDATES INDONESIA Halt to new hotel development in Bali already over-supplied with hotel rooms and that future investment in the hotel industry should therefore be directed to the less- developed northern areas of Bali. Southern Bali has also recently received some negative international media attention due to its overcrowding, pollution, and traffic concerns. The Governor may be attempting therefore to both prioritise development in the north and lessen the impact of overdevelopment in the south. For By Denny Rahmansyah example, the provincial government of Bali is currently looking at The Governor of Bali recently issued Letter No. 570/1665/BPM building a second international airport in the province, likely in the dated December 27, 2010 regarding a Moratorium on Principal north, as well as improving the transportation links between the Licenses (Capital Investment Registration/Capital Investment overcrowded south and the underdeveloped north.

  • Innovative Approaches to Melodic Elaboration in Contemporary Tabuh Kreasibaru
    INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO MELODIC ELABORATION IN CONTEMPORARY TABUH KREASIBARU by PETER MICHAEL STEELE B.A., Pitzer College, 2003 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA August 2007 © Peter Michael Steele, 2007 ABSTRACT The following thesis has two goals. The first is to present a comparison of recent theories of Balinese music, specifically with regard to techniques of melodic elaboration. By comparing the work of Wayan Rai, Made Bandem, Wayne Vitale, and Michael Tenzer, I will investigate how various scholars choose to conceptualize melodic elaboration in modern genres of Balinese gamelan. The second goal is to illustrate the varying degrees to which contemporary composers in the form known as Tabuh Kreasi are expanding this musical vocabulary. In particular I will examine their innovative approaches to melodic elaboration. Analysis of several examples will illustrate how some composers utilize and distort standard compositional techniques in an effort to challenge listeners' expectations while still adhering to indigenous concepts of balance and flow. The discussion is preceded by a critical reevaluation of the function and application of the western musicological terms polyphony and heterophony. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ii Table of Contents : iii List of Tables ....

  • Gamelan Gender Wayang of Bali: Form and Style
    ..................~~.~.~.. ~------------------ WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY Gamelan Gender Wayang of Bali: Form and Style by Kalafya Brown A thesis submitted to the facuIty of Wesleyan University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music May, 2000 Middletown, Connecticut My teacher, Kak Luweng, and myself playing gender (above) and just sitting (below), 2 Introduction and Acknowledgements I began studying gamelan music in 1994 while I was an undergraduate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. No one tends offhand to associate gamelan with MIT. but there it is. Professor Evan Ziporyn has been directing the gong kebyar ensemble Gamelan Galak Tika at MIT since 1993, and I was an active member from 1994 until 1997. Unfortunately the pressure of my studies at Wesleyan has not allowed me to play with Galak Tika as much as I would like in the past few years. For the three years of my tenure with Galak Tika we were blessed with the artistry of the Balinese husband and wife team of I Nyoman Catra and Desak Made Suarti Laksmi. The magnificent teaching and performance prowess of Evan, Catra and Desak formed the basis of my introduction to gamelan music. In 1997 I came to Wesleyan University to study for the degree of Master of Arts in Music, of which this thesis is a part. Here at Wesleyan I have had the great honor of studying with I. M. Harjito and Sumarsam, two Javanese artists. I sincerely thank them for broadening my awareness of the multifaceted natures of Indonesian music and for sharing with me the great beauty of the central Javanese court gamelan.

    IRIANTO, Sigit. Function Transfer of Agricultural Land to be Settlements and Tourism in Gianyar District, Bali Function Transfer of Agricultural Land to be Settlements and Tourism in Gianyar District, Bali Sigit Irianto Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Semarang, Indonesia, Email: [email protected] Komang Rio Anjana Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Semarang, Indonesia, Email: [email protected] Widyarini Indriasti Wardani Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Semarang, Indonesia, Email: [email protected] Abstract: The conversion of agricultural land is one of the phenomena of the conversion of agricultural land to non- agricultural land. This change is detrimental to the sustainability of agriculture in Gianyar Regency. In the last three years, the area of agricultural land that has changed its function in Gianyar Regency has reached 100 hectares. This happens because the need for land each year continues to increase both for settlement and for tourism and residential accommodation needs. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors causing the conversion of agricultural land in Gianyar Regency, and the implementation of the conversion of agricultural land for housing development and tourism accommodation that occurred in Gianyar Regency. The approach method used in this research is juridical empirical, descriptive-analytic research specifications, data sources are primary data and secondary data, data collection techniques by conducting interviews and literature study, data analysis methods with qualitative analysis. The factors causing the shift in the function of agricultural land in Gianyar Regency are due to economic factors, lack of farmer subsidies, and the high value of land tax objects that make farmers unable to defend their land, as well as the lack of law enforcement on land use change.
