Teknik Garapan dalam Komposisi Musik “The Sound of Gasiang Tangkurak” (Techniques in the Musical Composition of “The Sound of Gasiang Tangkurak”)

Abstract

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menjabarkan teknik dalam penggarapan komposisi musik multimedia yang berjudul The Sound of Gasiang Tangkurak. Gagasan komposisi musik ini berangkat dari ritual magis basirompak, yang terdapat di Nagari Taeh Baruah Kabupaten Limapuluh Kota. Musik ini digarap menjadi sebuah karya musik electroacoustic. Penggarapan karya bertujuan untuk menjabarkan Teknik dalam menggunakan software Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), Virtual Studio Tecnology (VST), midi controller, sample atau library sound dan beberapa event fx, yaitu berupa tahapan mixing seperti balancing (Volume, Panning, Autamation), Dinamic fx (Compressor, Multiband compressor, Limiter), Modulation fx ¬(Chorus, Phaser, Delay) dan Stereo Imager (Left-Right, dan Mid-Side) hinggal menghasilkan karya musik. Selain itu karya ini juga menggunakan teknik-teknik sound design, yaitu pengolahan audio shyntesis yang meliputi wave shape (sine, square, triangle, sawtooth), LFO (low frekuensi oscillator) dan juga envelope (attack, decay, sustain dan relase). Metode yang digunakan dalam karya dan dijabarkan dalam artikel ini adalah ekplorasi, eksperimentasi, dan perwujudan. Hasil dalam artikel ini berupa teknik yang digunakan dalam membuat karya musik electroacoustic berjudul The Sound of Gasiang TangkurakABSTRACTThis article aims to describe the techniques in composing a multimedia music composition entitled The Sound of Gasiang Tangkurak. The idea of this musical composition departs from the magical ritual of the basirompak, which is found in Nagari Taeh Baruah, Limapuluh Kota Regency. This music was made into a work of electroacoustic music. The purpose of this work is to describe techniques for using Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) software, Virtual Studio Technology (VST), midi controllers, sound samples or libraries and several fx events, namely in the form of mixing stages such as balancing (Volume, Panning, Authentication), Dynamic fx (Compressor, Multiband compressor, Limiter), Modulation fx (Chorus, Phaser, Delay) and Stereo Imager (Left-Right, and Mid-Side) to produce music. In addition, this work also uses sound design techniques, namely audio synthesis processing which includes wave shape (sine, square, triangle, sawtooth), LFO (low frequency oscillator) and envelope (attack, decay, sustain and release). The methods used in this work and described in this article are exploration, experimentation, and embodiment. The results in this article are the techniques used in making electroacoustic music entitled The Sound of Gasiang Tangkurak.
