The Republic of Indonesia, continuously gives effort on the conduct of public diplomacy, including using culture as an instrument. However, the reality shows that Indonesia is still facing challenges due to the limitation of the government’s capability to maximally conduct cultural diplomacy, like limited budget, lack of concrete regulations, and human resource. Indonesian government has to be aware to use all of its potential that can make the conduct of cultural diplomacy become greater and achieve a better outcome. In the past few years, diaspora has become a phenomenon for Indonesia, following the spread of Indonesian people abroad. The government have been fully recognized diaspora and started to conduct a unit to manage diaspora and empower it to support national interest, especially in the conduct of diplomacy. Music on the other side, lies in the core of every culture in this world. Music has the ability to transcend boundaries of places, time, people with different cultural backgrounds. Diaspora and music are both playing a crucial role in the country’s conduct of diplomacy. When combined, diaspora and music is believed to be able to enhance Indonesia’s cultural diplomacy. The combination of diaspora and music can provide a better outcome on the conduct cultural diplomacy even though it is based on the limited capability of the government. Keywords: Indonesia, cultural diplomacy, diaspora, music, combination v ABSTRAK Thesis Title: The Combination of Diaspora and Music to Enhance Indonesia’s Cultural Diplomacy (Case Study of House of Angklung Washington DC 2011 – 2014) Sebagai upaya dalam menjaga hubungan dengan negara lain, membangun dan memelihara citra positif perlu dilakukan oleh sebuah negara. Republik Indonesia, terus berupaya melakukan diplomasi publik, termasuk menggunakan budaya sebagai instrumen. Namun, kenyataan menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia masih menghadapi banyak tantangan karena keterbatasan kemampuan pemerintah untuk secara maksimal melakukan diplomasi budaya, seperti anggaran yang terbatas, kurangnya peraturan yang konkret, dan sumber daya manusia. Pemerintah Indonesia harus sadar untuk menggunakan semua potensinya yang dapat membuat pelaksanaan diplomasi budaya menjadi lebih baik dan mencapai hasil yang lebih baik. Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, diaspora telah menjadi fenomena bagi Indonesia, sehubungan dengan penyebaran masyarakat Indonesia di luar negeri. Pemerintah telah sepenuhnya menganggap diaspora dan mulai membangun sebuah unit untuk mengelola diaspora dan memberdayakannya untuk mendukung kepentingan nasional, terutama dalam melakukan diplomasi. Musik di sisi lain, berada pada inti setiap budaya di dunia ini. Musik memiliki kemampuan untuk melampaui batasan tempat, waktu, manusia dengan latar belakang budaya yang berbeda. Diaspora dan musik sama-sama memainkan peran penting dalam diplomasi di negara ini. Bila digabungkan, diaspora dan musik dipercaya untuk dapat meningkatkan diplomasi budaya Indonesia. Kombinasi diaspora dan musik dapat memberikan hasil yang lebih baik dalam melakukan diplomasi budaya meskipun didasarkan pada keterbatasan dalam kemampuan pemerintah.

  • Gamelan Gender Wayang of Bali: Form and Style

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.

  • The Angklung of Southeast Asia
    Can You Shake It? The Angklung of Southeast Asia By Professor Kuo-Huang Han School of Music Northern Illinois University Angklung is a popular bamboo musical instrument in Southeast Asia. It is the easiest instrument to play: you just shake it. It is now widely used in music education. In this article, you will be informed about the background, usage, and playing methods of this instrument. A. Bamboo in Asia Bamboo is a type of plant of the grass family. There are about 75 genera and approximately 1000 species in the world. Asia, especially Southeast Asia and the Far East, has the major concentration of bamboo production. In fact, the word "bamboo" came from a Malay term, "bambu", which originally described the crackling sound of burning bamboo: "bam"! "bu"! Bamboo seems to grow everywhere in these regions. It is one of the most important materials in many Asian peoples’ daily lives. It is also a symbol of good luck and an essential part in their spiritual lives. 1. Material Culture Bamboo is strong but light and elastic. Throughout the ages, it has been used for a great variety of purposes. It is used as building material for houses, fences, bridges, irrigation pipes, bulletin boards, tables, chairs, and beds. It is also used as a carrying pole, a walking stick, chopsticks, water containers, cups, pencil holders, bow and arrows, etc. Split bamboo is used for weaving nets, hats, baskets, and umbrellas. Finally, bamboo shoots and bamboo seeds can be eaten. Bamboo pulp fibers were used to make paper. In ancient times, bamboo slips were used for carving characters.

  • Gamelan Music of Indonesia- Music of Cooperation Indonesia Encompasses Over 13,000 Islands and Is World’S 4Th Most Populous Country
    Gamelan Music of Indonesia- Music of Cooperation Indonesia encompasses over 13,000 islands and is world’s 4th most populous country. It has the largest Muslim population in the world, although that number makes up only 88% of the country’s total population. The country has been a cultural crossroads throughout its history due to its proximity to India, Southeast Asia, and China, and also because of its rich natural resources. The area was under Dutch colonial rule for approximately 350 years (ie, Dutch East India Company), finally gaining independence in 1949. Basic Characteristics -Orchestras called Gamelan, primarily composed of bronze instruments- keyed metallophones, tuned gongs (rack and hanging), also with drums and additional string and wind instruments; instruments are tuned as an entire orchestra and are not interchangeable with other ensembles. [see pdf of instruments from Alves book] -Compositions guided by a core melody- composed of artful contours and melodic motives- basic melody guides all other parts; VERY polyphonic texture predominates, all layers are equally vital -Colotomic structure- cyclical music iterated and punctuated by the sounds of various sized gongs. Distance between primary (lowest) gong strokes is called a Gongan. -Paired families of instruments- In Java this results in having two complete sets of instruments in two different tuning systems. -Stress at the END of metrical cycles instead of beginning- single hardest thing for Western ears to grasp- notes proceed TO gong instead of away from gong as would typically happen in Western music. Central Javanese Gamelan -Centered around the urban areas of Yogyakarta and Surakarta- traditional seats of powerful courts that provided generous patronage for all art forms, including Gamelan and dance.
