Branded as jazz ballads in\u0000the Mid-20th Century, Malay popular music is a key subject in unveiling the\u0000musical changes in the Malay popular music history of Peninsula Malaysia. In\u0000the 1960s, there was a trend to compose Malay popular music with heavily\u0000influenced idiomatic jazz harmonics in the many various Western styles. In the\u0000early 21st century, as it has musically and stylistically evolved, Malay popular\u0000music became closely associated with the continuous dissemination of patriotic\u0000songs in Malaysia as well as an amalgamation of the various trending styles of\u0000the Western hemisphere such as funk, pop, rhythm and blues, gospel and even\u0000rock music. Throughout it all, the continued and consistent harmonics of Jazz\u0000Music have been an ever-present tool for many Malay Popular Music\u0000composers since the early years of independence. This paper will focus on four\u0000chosen compositions, two from each of the time frames in focus and each tune\u0000will have an analysis from a singular compositional viewpoint, be it melodic\u0000(Gema Rembulan-Jimmy Boyle, 1956), chordal (Air Mata Berderai-Alfonso\u0000Soliano,1964) or the dissertation of the song-form (Selingkuh Kasih-Mokhzani\u0000Ismail,2006 & Gemilang-Aubrey Suwito,2005). Through the analysis of the\u0000chosen musical scores, this paper intends to reintroduce and refresh the\u0000essential elements of composing a Malay Popular Music composition as well\u0000as the musical influences and changing mindsets of approach on the different\u0000compositional styles of Malay popular music, its culture, and identity, of the mid-20th and the early 21st centuries of Malaysia to the current and future\u0000composers of this genre.","PeriodicalId":274231,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Creative Industries","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122436394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Craft activities of weaving may be deeply imbued with unique cultural values and expressive of cultural identities. The paper concerns how traditional Malay craft is abstracted onto a real-life project which has to deal with the problem of modularity and buildability. The focus is on the food covers or better known as tudung saji pattern, woven using a specific technique called triaxial or hexagonal weave, where the strands are plaited in three directions. Understanding and making explicit, formalizing and computing the craft patterns provide new insights into its cultural dynamics as well as creative and generative possibilities. The paper summarizes the design process from craft to meaning and philosophy to variations of modern abstraction. The concepts were integrated into an innovative cladding design of a passive cooling system. The design and development process of water-wall design includes the production of digital three-dimensional model. The efforts to merge craft sensibilities and practices with new making technologies and computational strategies have uncovered several interesting viewpoints. The implication of the study is to inculcate the symbolic application of cultural values in craft goods towards design. Future work towards sustainability in craft is part of revival. Traditional Malay craft need abstraction and reinvention in a contemporary way, to create an expressive connection and foster cultural identity within time and space.","PeriodicalId":274231,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Creative Industries","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124848200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In oral literature, it contains the genius of narrative and the genius thought of the nation’s storyteller, especially Pawang Ana through his masterpieces namely Hikayat Malim Dewa and Hikayat Anggun Che Tunggal. Both stories, recorded around 1886, narrate the voyage of a group of Malay warriors to Portugal to counter-attack the western colonists and gain victory.

Malay Gamelan was exclusively taught in the palace orally, that is, through the process of listening, observing, memorising, and repeating; much like other classical Malay traditional arts. This study was initiated to discuss some aspects of Malay gamelan music in detail as there is little documentation regarding Malay gamelan in the academic world. Several writings on Joget Gamelan were produced based on the 1966 discovery in Terengganu and the inaugural performance in 1969 at the University of Malaya. However, attention to the different aspects of Malay gamelan music was not exhaustive. This study explores the playing techniques of keromong and gambang that were traditionally taught and passed down among Malay gamelan practitioners. A qualitative method was used in this research, whereby the earliest recordings of Malay gamelan music were analysed and interviews were conducted with informants, or also known as adiguru of Malay gamelan practitioners who studied directly with the last generation of Terengganu court musicians. The objective of this study is to 1) identify the techniques of keromong playing in Malay gamelan, and 2) identify the techniques of gambang playing in Malay gamelan.

This research aims to document the production of glaze color systematically using various types of stone in Sabah such as Sungai Moyog stone, Lombong Mamut stone, and stone in Sports Complex, Ranau on the surface of the specimen body produced using by kaolin. In addition, this research also aims to identify the response of experimental samples using a mixture of different percentages using the formula Triaxial Line Blend on the surface of kaolin involving aspects of the material, type of combustion, and decoration techniques. The production of glaze color using natural materials which is a Sungai Moyog stone, Lombong Mamut stone, and Sports Complex stone found around Ranau and Kota Kinabalu, Sabah is an innovation in the production of color sourced from natural materials as well as efforts to develop the ceramic industry in Malaysia. It is more to the production of natural materials that have undergone the production process to produce a new glaze color. Preliminary studies using samples from color agents which are Sungai Moyog stone, Lombong Mamut stone, and Ranau Sports Complex stone were conducted experimentally. The research includes the preparation and formulation of glaze using the material until it successfully produces color pigments according to the temperature reaction and the type of combustion that has been implemented. This research also aims to study the suitability of glaze color on the surface of ceramic products such as kaolin. In conclusion, through this research, we will better understand the processes and ways how to produce glaze color in the ceramic industry by using natural materials found in the environment.
