BEGENDANG BESERUNAI: INTEGRATION OF TRADITIONAL VALUES IN THE CREATION OF BENGKULU KARAWITAN MUSIC COMPOSITION
The work “Begendang Beserunai” is a contemporary karawitan music composition inspired by the musical phenomenon of the gendang serunai, one of Bengkulu’s traditional arts that plays an important role in ceremonial processions and community entertainment. The gendang serunai, consisting of two long drums (melalu and ningkah) and a serunai as the melody carrier, is distinctive for its interlocking rhythmic patterns and melodic motifs in a scale close to a-b-c-d-e-f#-g-a’. This creation aims to preserve the essence of tradition while introducing innovation through techniques such as unison, canon, polyrhythmic, responsorial, polymetric, and accentuation, supported by additional instruments such as dol, kompang, kolintang, accordion, bass guitar, and cymbals. The method used is a mixed methods approach combining qualitative methods—through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and recording analysis—and quantitative methods—through measuring tempo, dynamics, rhythmic pattern duration, and audience questionnaires. The results show that this work successfully integrates traditional musical idioms into a modern composition format while maintaining its identity. Questionnaire analysis (n = 50) shows that 84% of respondents perceived the traditional nuance as strong, while 78% rated the aesthetic appeal as high. This work contributes to cultural preservation through documentation, education, and artistic innovation relevant to the contemporary context. “Begendang Beserunai” serves as a model for developing tradition-based works applicable to other regional music forms, as well as an academic and artistic reference for artists, researchers, and art education institutions
The Architectural Style of Asserayah Al-Hasyimiyah Palace Using a Pragmatic Semiotic Approach
Penelitian ini mengkaji gaya arsitektur Istana Asserayah Al-Hasyimiah (Istana Siak) menggunakan pendekatan semiotika pragmatik. Dibangun antara tahun 1890 hingga 1899, istana ini menggabungkan arsitektur lokal Melayu dengan pengaruh gaya Indische Empire dan neo-klasik. Melalui observasi, wawancara, dan analisis dokumen, ditemukan bahwa tata ruang simetris istana mencerminkan harmoni budaya Melayu, sementara elemen seperti lengkung lancip, lengkung tapal kuda, dan desain berbentuk perahu memiliki makna simbolis. Lengkung lancip melambangkan spiritualitas Islam, lengkung tapal kuda mencerminkan modernitas dan keterhubungan, sedangkan bentuk perahu melambangkan perjalanan hidup manusia. Posisi istana yang menghadap Sungai Siak mencerminkan kepercayaan kosmologis masyarakat Melayu tentang hubungan antara manusia, alam, dan Tuhan. Selain keindahan arsitekturnya, Istana Siak juga berfungsi sebagai pusat pemerintahan, kebudayaan, dan tempat tinggal keluarga kerajaan. Penggunaan material lokal seperti kayu solid menegaskan identitas Melayu sekaligus memberikan kenyamanan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa Istana Siak bukan hanya bangunan fungsional, tetapi juga simbol budaya yang kaya akan nilai sejarah dan makna. Penelitian lanjutan disarankan menggunakan teknologi digital atau membandingkan dengan bangunan serupa untuk memahami lebih jauh dinamika arsitektur transisi di Indonesi
The Effect of Satin Fabric Thickness on Bustier Construction Quality Using the Helen Joseph Armstrong Method
The bustier is a women’s upper garment designed with a tight fit to conform to the body’s contours, particularly around the bust, waist, and hips. Historically, the bustier was originally used as an undergarment; however, along with the evolution of fashion trends, its design has been modified so that it can also be worn as outerwear, serving to shape the body silhouette for a more proportional appearance. The accuracy of the pattern, sewing technique, and material selection are crucial elements that influence the quality of the final bustier product. Among the fabric characteristics that significantly affect garment construction, fabric thickness is a key factor. The research aimed to analyze the differences in bustier outcomes made using satin fabrics of different thickness levels—emerald satin (thin), Roberto satin (medium), and bridal satin (thick)—employing the Helen Joseph Armstrong pattern on a mannequin of size M. The methodological approach adopted was experimental, with the independent variable being the thickness of the satin fabric and the dependent variable being the quality of the bustier result. Data were collected through observation sheets evaluated by three expert designers and seventeen trained panelists. The data analysis technique applied involved hypothesis testing using the K-Related test. The findings revealed that the thickness of the satin fabric significantly affects the quality of the bustier. The bustier made from bridal satin achieved the highest average score, namely 84.45% (categorized as very good). Therefore, it can be concluded that the thicker the satin fabric structure, the better the quality of the final bustier resul
