The problem of research was that keroncong music tended to be unknown by most young people in Bandung, and it was lost almost a century among them. This research aimed to examine the communication between the structure, agents (SirIyai), and sub-agents (Crispy Crue/the fans), and the appreciation of the keroncong community in Bandung for their performances. Spredlay ethnographic methods were applied. SirIyai was trusted informants and participatory observations, and in-depth interviews were carried out within one year. The research finds that; (1) SirIyai creates a communication media product under the name of JSK as the binding structure between SirIyai as the agent and CCI as the sub-agent; (2) the development of the internet creates dynamics and generates communication space; (3) communication of musical instruments is the basic idea of JSK product creation as communication media; and (4) there is a fundamental change of the old keroncong communication system to that of the youth keroncong in the global era. SirIyai is considered as the role model of the recent keroncong communication and becomes the parameter of creativity of musical mixture of global music era in Bandung.

The tones of gamelan and the frequencies of the tune are all transformed into diatonic tone frequency. However, the harmonization which is used is pentatonic harmony of Javanese gamelan.

    Editors' Note As this issue of Indonesia goes to press, the People's Consultative Assembly has taken the decisive step of effectively ratifying the results of the August 30 referendum by which the people of East Timor overwhelmingly declared their choice for national independence. The editors believe this occasion is of sufficient importance to congratulate the Consultative Assembly on the wisdom of its decision, and at the same time to congratulate the people of East Timor on the successful culmination of a long and painful struggle for freedom and self-determination. Hidup Timor Loro Sae! The Traditional Javanese Performing Arts in the Twilight of the New O rder: Two Letters From Solo Marc Perlman By coincidence I spent the summers of 1997 and 1998 in Solo, Central Java, Indonesia. Along with Yogyakarta, its rival sixty kilometers or so to the west, Solo is the center of high Javanese culture, and heir to the traditions of a colonial-era royal court. I had lived therefor three years in the mid-1980s, where I studied karawitan (traditional gamelan music). Aside from a two-month visit in 1994, however, I had not seen the place for seven years. I returned to Indonesia in 1997 to participate in an international gamelan festival; in 1998 I came to purchase a set cf gamelan instruments for my university. Needless to say, I did not know that Soeharto's thirty-two-year rule would end in May 1998, much less did I plan to take before-and-after snapshots of the Solonese artistic scene.

  • MAHAMBARA: New Music from ISI Surakarta Introduction by Rahayu Supanggah
    RECORDING MAHAMBARA: new music from ISI Surakarta Introduction by Rahayu Supanggah Mahambara is a compilation of recordings of ten compositions by lecturers from the Karawitan Department at ISI Surakarta. Mahambara reflects the musical journeys and explorations undertaken by these composers. From a variety of cultural backgrounds and interests, they have travelled far and wide across the ocean of musical life, including serving as teachers and artists. This compilation covers a range of styles and genres of compositions, including music with a religious (Islamic or Christian) nuance; music with a folk influence; music influenced by the regional traditions of Sunda, Bali, and Java; diatonic music; music based on classical karawitan developed in new ways; and experimental works resulting from “wild” musical explorations. Perhaps this collection of compositions will show the potential of karawitan as a source of new and creative musical compositions, while maintaining its connection to the situations and conditions of society today. Globalization and the creative industry–currently important issues–provide challenges and opportunities for creative artists to do more for both their own community and for the rest of the world. These recordings were intended to be a single CD. The Karawitan Department at ISI Surakarta decided to give priority Contents to compositions that have not yet been heard by a wide audience. Shalawat Rambu by Waluyo Longer compositions would have limited the opportunity for Kothekan Lesung by Sri Harta Ler-leran by Sugimin shorter works by other composers to appear, and so are not Lurojinem by Supardi included. Many longer works have already been presented, in live Buka Sembarangan by I Wayan Sadra performances, or as audio and video recordings; and have been Pak Tung Blang by Cucup Cahripin published and discussed on both national and international levels.

  • Guru‟ Dalam Tradisi Sunda, Memiliki Akronim „Digugu Tur Ditiru‟ (Ditaati Dan Diteladani)
    BAB 1 PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Kata „guru‟ dalam tradisi Sunda, memiliki akronim „digugu tur ditiru‟ (ditaati dan diteladani). Artinya, guru itu harus serbabisa, yang menguasai bidang teori maupun bidang praktik. Bahkan Siswono Yudo Husodo, mantan Menteri Negara Perumahan Rakyat pada Kabinet Pembangun V zaman Orde Baru, seperti ditulisnya dalam kompasiana.com, mengatakan guru bukan hanya bertanggung jawab mengajarkan mata pelajaran, melainkan lebih dari itu, juga mendidik moral, etika, integritas, dan karakter.1 Peran yang disebut di atas, menuntut seorang guru untuk bekerja secara profesional. Adapun pengertian profesional, menurut mantan menteri pendidikan Muhdjir Effendy, yang disampaikan dalam pembukaan Kongres Asosiasi Guru Bahasa dan Sastra Indonesia (AGBSI) di Jakarta pada 2018, setidaknya harus memenuhi dua kriteria, yaitu memiliki kompetensi atau ahli di bidangnya, dan memiliki tanggung jawab atau responsible. Di Negara modern, kriteria profesional itu ditambah dua instrumen lagi, yaitu hasil pendidikan yang sesuai dengan bidangnya, serta ikut ke dalam asosiasi profesi. Guru seni musik misalnya, di negara modern itu wajib lulusan sekolah guru seni musik, serta ikut ke dalam asosiasi guru seni musik. Di Indonesia, banyak pekerja yang tidak profesional, karena misalnya, dia bekerja di sektor perbankan tapi ijazahnya sarjana pertanian. Profesionalisme seorang guru, menjadi prasyarat tercapainya keberhasilan pendidikan. Guru profesional, seperti disebut di atas, adalah orang yang ahli di bidangnya. Disebut ahli, salah satu cirinya adalah mampu mengatasi berbagai kendala dan rintangan. Karena itu, dari waktu ke waktu, seorang guru harus selalu inovatif, memiliki daya eksplorasi, serta improvisasi dalam menyikapi keadaan di 1https://nasional.kompas.com/read/2015/11/25/15000011/Guru.Sing.Digugu.lan.Ditiru.?page=all#:~:text= Guru%20dalam%20tradisi%20Jawa%20merupakan,etika%2C%20integritas%2C%20dan%20karakter.

  • Inspiration, Imitation, and Creation in the Music of Bali, Indonesia
    Inspiration, Imitation, and Creation in the Music of Bali, Indonesia Maisie Sum From the gecko’s lone call to frog choruses, from crashing waves to delicate snowfall, the sonic environment has long been a source of inspiration for many Balinese artists. Through the use of mimicry, subtler forms of imitation, and conceptual frameworks, soundscapes have been interpreted, transformed, and imagined in music creations ranging from melodic phrases to entire compositions to new art forms that may be recognizable, alluded to, or remain abstract. Drawing on previous scholarship on Balinese music and on conversations with teachers, friends, and family from Bali, Indonesia,1 this preliminary study explores connections between musical creations and the soundscapes of nature, real and imagined, in Bali and offers a glimpse into the aesthetic sensibilities of Balinese artists. Given the intensity and rapidity of change in the global landscape and soundscape, I hope to make explicit the influence of nature’s voices on musical genres, explore modern creations of Balinese composers, and stimulate further Balinese music research in the area of sound and environment. Inspiration and Embodiment My frequent visits to Pengosekan village in Ubud, Bali and my travels throughout the island reveal that the Balinese people live intimately and in tune with nature. Perhaps it is because most people in areas outside the dense city centers spend most of their time outdoors that the rhythm of life seems in sync with the seasons, daylight hours, other diurnal creatures, and the rise and fall of temperatures. Many people rise at dawn, take strolls in the morning or before sunset, have siestas during the hottest part of the day, bathe in the river before dusk, eat fruit as it ripens and falls off the trees, and retire from the day’s activities as the sun descends beneath the horizon.2 1 Bali is an island and province of Indonesia.

Schuyler, Chair Ter Ellingson Laurie J. Sears Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music © 2013 Philip Bradford Yampolsky University of Washington Abstract Music and media in the Dutch East Indies: Gramophone records and radio in the late colonial era, 1903-1942 Philip Bradford Yampolsky Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Emeritus Philip D. Schuyler Music This dissertation is intended as an ethnomusicological contribution to the history of music and media in Indonesia. It deals with topics and resources that have never been systematically examined for this region: gramophone records and radio broadcasting from the years before World War II, the last years of Dutch colonial control. The gramophone records are our only documentation of the sound of Indonesian music in the years before World War II. This dissertation tries to identify (and to some extent provide) the information one needs in order to understand the records and, by extension, stylistic trends during the pre-war period. Ultimately it is meant as an argument for the importance of making use of historical recordings and discography in ethnomusicology. The use of gramophone records from before World War II (“78s”) in musicology and ethnomusicology is growing. Robert
