Analysis of Timbre in Melodic Arrangements of Popular Minang Songs Using a Spectrum Analyzer
Get PDFTimbre is one of the main elements considered in musical arrangements, including contemporary Minang pop songs which have undergone significant development due to improvements in recording studio quality and increasingly qualified human resources. This study aims to describe the instrumentation and examine the characteristics of timbre in melodic instruments used in contemporary Minang pop song arrangements. Ableton Live 10 and Izotope Insight 2 software were used to analyze the audio spectrum produced by melodic instruments in recent Minang song arrangements. The results of audio processing using spectrum analyzer show that three main timbres of Minang songs are circulating and viral on social media: Acoustic Guitar, Bansi, and Overdrive Guitar. The first two instruments typically fill the melody line in the Intro, Interlude, and Coda, while the third instrument acts as a melody carrier in the transition part of the song. The instrumentation used in Minang song arrangements consists of acoustic instruments, specifically Yamaha guitars with Fishman Preamps, VST Instruments Sampletank2, and Real eight guitars. In this study, only two timbres were analyzed using the application: Acoustic Guitar and Bansi. The software analysis reveals that the two melodic timbres have unique characteristics formed by different overtone series formulas, with Acoustic Guitar having approximately 15 overtone pieces and Bansi having 8. Based on the results generated by the audio analysis application Izotope Insight 2, the timbre of guitar and bansi in contemporary Minang pop songs exhibit two unique characteristics. The guitar demonstrates a rich character with a significant number of overtone series at high frequencies. On the other hand, bansi tends to have a smooth and soft character due to its less dominant frequency points at each interval and lower amplitudes.

Theme Of The Festival And Student Interest In Participating In The Student Film
No full textThis research aims to analyze the relationship between film festival themes and students' interest in participating in the Jogja Student Film Festival (FFPJ). On the one hand, the theme of a film festival provides guidance about the films that will be competed in the festival, on the other hand, the theme can also limit students' freedom in expressing ideas or ideas through film works. Restrictions on a theme may reduce interest in participating in the festival. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods. Data was taken from interviews and FFPJ documents from 2010 - 2021. Data analysis was descriptive qualitative. The research results show a clear pattern trend, namely the relationship between themes and the number of film works included in FFPJ. When FFPJ has a free theme, the number of film works tends to increase. When FFPJ has a theme determined by the organizer, the number of films included in FFPJ decreases. Students seem to prefer making films to express their ideas or concepts according to their themes rather than having to make films according to the themes desired by the organizers
The Development of a Performance Anxiety Scale for Theatre Actor
No full textAnxiety is the main barrier for an actor to give a perfect performance that determines the show’s overall quality. However, there have been no studies examining performance anxiety in theatre actors, especially in Indonesia. This study aims to develop a psychological scale that measures the actor’s performance anxiety level. The following five steps are carried out: (a) preparing the items based on the performance-only type of social anxiety; (b) checking content validity using Aiken's V method; (c) conducting a trial scale; (d) testing reliability using Cronbach's alpha; and (e) selecting items. One hundred sixty-three (163) theatre actors were given the Performance Anxiety Scale for Theatre Actors, which consists of 44 items. The analysis showed that Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.953 out of 38 passed items (r ≥ 0.30). Thus, the developed Performance Anxiety Scale for Theatre Actors has a good validity and reliability score and can be used properly
Protest Songs From Indonesia And Australia: A Musicological Comparison
Get PDFProtest music is both commercially viable and an important tool for shaping community awareness of socio-political issues. Indonesian and Australian artists have produced protest music which has stimulated significant effect upon community attitudes and behaviours. Socio-political issues can be described and examined in songs using various lyrical methods, including strategic use of characters and narrative. Iwan Fals is a Javanese singer-songwriter who frequently employs satire and parody in relation to weighty political issues. Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil and Paul Kelly are Australian rock artists who have used real-life events as the inspiration for protest songs, many of which are delivered with a confrontational mode of lyric and performance.

Iconography and Iconology of The Aksi Kamisan Photo (13-2-2014) by Fanny Octavianus
Get PDFThe presence of photography as a medium of communication has transformed into an art that not only perpetuates reality in images (visuals), but also poetic values and/or image language. Likewise, journalistic photography works are created not only based on existing moments or events, but are also influenced by views, skills, and other factors inherent in the photographer. The photographer has the right to place his philosophical aspects based on the importance of his secondary needs. The creation of photographic works is the result of the integration of the social, spiritual and cultural life of the photographer, in this context as was done by Fanny Octavianus who consistently documented the Aksi Kamisan by activists to demand that the government resolve cases of human rights violations. The consistency of the Aksi Kamisan becomes a strength that makes this action full of values that can be observed through the signs implied in every action they take. From this explanation, Fanny’s work on Aksi Kamisan is studied through factual and expressive visual signs, themes and concepts, and also looks for the symbolic value in Fanny’s work. In carrying out this excavation and search, the method of art history uses the Iconography and Iconology approach of Erwin Panofsky. As a result, this study found that there were various visual markers of the Aksi Kamisan photo that were factual and expressive. Factual markers can be observed from formal aspects, while expressional markers are obtained from motion effects created by controlling the camera using slow motion techniques. The symbolic values conveyed in this Aksi Kamisan photo are the era of openness in conveying people’s opinions directly to the government, which can be seen as a symbol of cultural openness in the reform era. Ikonografi dan Ikonologi Foto Aksi Kamisan (13-2-2014) Karya Fanny Octavianus. Kehadiran fotografi tidak saja mengabadikan realitas dalam gambar (visual), namun juga nilai puitis dan atau bahasa gambar. Begitu juga dengan karya fotografi jurnalistik yang tercipta tidak sekadar berdasarkan momen atau peristiwa, tetapi dipengaruhi oleh pandangan, kemampuan keterampilan, dan faktor lain yang melekat pada diri fotografernya. Fotografer berhak menempatkan aspek filosofisnya berdasarkan kepentingan kebutuhan sekundernya. Penciptaan karya foto merupakan hasil dari integrasi kehidupan sosial, spiritual dan kebudayaan si pemotret, dalam konteks ini seperti yang dilakukan oleh Fanny Octavianus yang konsisten mendokumentasikan Aksi Kamisan yang dilakukan para aktivis untuk menuntut pemerintah menuntaskan kasus pelanggaran Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM). Konsistensi aksi Kamisan menjadi sebuah kekuatan yang menjadikan aksi ini penuh dengan nilai yang dapat diamati melalui tanda-tanda tersirat dalam setiap aksi yang dilakukan. Dari pemaparan tersebut, karya Fanny tentang Aksi Kamisan dikaji melalui tanda-tanda visual yang bersifat faktual dan ekspresional, tema dan konsep, dan juga dicari nilai simbolik yang ada dalam karya Fanny tersebut. Dalam melakukan penggalian dan pencarianini menggunakan metode sejarah seni dengan pendekatan Ikonografi dan Ikonologi Erwin Panofsky. Hasilnya, penelitian ini menemukan adanya berbagai penanda visual foto Aksi Kamisan yang bersifat faktual dan ekpresional. Penanda faktual dapat diamati dari aspek-aspek formal, sedangkan penanda ekspresional didapat dari efek gerak yang diciptakan dengan pengendalian kamera menggunakan teknik slow motion. Nilai-nilai simbolik yang disampaikan dalam foto Aksi Kamisan ini adalah era keterbukaan dalam menyampaikan pendapat rakyat langsung kepada pemerintah bisa dipandang sebagai simbol keterbukaan kultur era reformasi

The Framework of Urban Landscape Reading from Walter Benjamin’s View
Get PDFThis paper analyzes Walter Benjamin’s views to provide a useful framework and methodology for reading urban landscapes located at the interdisciplinary cross of environmental sciences, aesthetics, sociology, and cultural geography. Benjamin views the city as a place that offers a different modern experience, and the city and urban places are read both as a sign and a small world of their community. The relationship between history, the experience of presence, memory, and built environment is the basis of such a framework of reading urban landscapes, in which the present and the past time in a system together could narrate the urban experience every moment. In such a view, describing the modern experience is not essential, but rather how this experience can be fulfilled. Kerangka Penafsiran Lansekap Perkotaan Berdasarkan Pemikiran Walter Benjamin. Makalah ini menganalisis pemikiran Walter Benjamin untuk memberikan kerangka pemikiran dan metodologi yang berguna untuk menafsirkan lanskap perkotaan yang terletak di lintas disiplin ilmu lingkungan, estetika, sosiologi, dan geografi budaya. Benjamin memandang kota sebagai tempat yang menawarkan pengalaman modern yang berbeda, dan kota serta tempat-tempat di perkotaan diinterpretasikan sebagai tanda dan dunia kecil komunitas mereka. Hubungan antara sejarah, pengalaman kehadiran, ingatan, dan lingkungan yang dibangun merupakan dasar dari kerangka interpretasi lanskap perkotaan, di mana masa kini dan masa lalu berada dalam suatu sistem, yang secara bersama-sama dapat menceritakan pengalaman perkotaan di setiap saat. Dalam pandangan seperti itu, mendeskripsikan pengalaman modern bukanlah hal yang penting, melainkan bagaimana pengalaman tersebut dapat terpenuhi
