This article examines how Damaru navigates and carves a niche in Singapore’s multicultural milieu with the concept of a pan-Indian folk drumming ensemble, and how drummers create artistic products that engage an audience of different sociocultural backgrounds. An analysis of two of Damaru’s rhythmic compositions suggests that drumming, mixing Indian folk drums and rhythmic patterns, and performing the rhythmic patterns in sequence have helped Damaru’s rhythmic compositions reach a broader audience, enabling the ensemble to win state grants and performance opportunities.","PeriodicalId":43357,"journal":{"name":"YEARBOOK FOR TRADITIONAL MUSIC","volume":"54 1","pages":"119 - 140"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47634352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Released in 2021 in the People’s Republic of China, it was co-produced by the Hong Kong Stuntman Association (HKSA) and Acme Image (Beijing) Film Cultural Co., Ltd.. The director, Wei Junzi (b.1978), is a film expert in mainland China with special interest inHong Kong cinema. A first-time director,Wei has published several books on Hong Kong cinema. In 2016, he read an article on the closure of the last rooftop martial arts school in Hong Kong that inspired him to express his resentment in writing. Eric Tsang Chi-wai (b. 1953), a filmmaker and former stuntman in Hong Kong, really liked his essay and introduced him to Chin Kar-lok (b. 1965), the HKSA president and later the producer of this film. Chin invited Wei to the 2017 spring festival dinner of the association, where he met many famous and unknown action film heroes and then decided to make this documentary to tell their stories (Ka 2021). Wei chose a fresh perspective—that of stunt stars rather than directors—to narrate a history of Hong Kong action film. He highly values the interviewees’ own voices and more than thirty interviewees appear in the film. In fact, the film is filled with mostly interview footage with no voice-over narration and little use of intertitles. Most of the interviewees were born in the 1950s and became active in the stunt industry between the mid-1960s and early 1990s. While the film presents a large amount of information, a few dominant themes emerge: transmedia cultural production, histories of Chinese opera and action movies in Hong Kong, masculinity, and transnationality.","PeriodicalId":43357,"journal":{"name":"YEARBOOK FOR TRADITIONAL MUSIC","volume":"54 1","pages":"190 - 195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44174129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The film begins in the thirteenth century and makes its way to the twentieth century outlining the important figures and documents regarding the transcription of music in Iran. In this regard, the title Avanegar is quite a fitting as it means “transcriber” in the Persian language. Mohsen Mohammadi, scholar of Iranian music, both compiled the research for the film and narrated this history on camera.1 While the film is narrated in Persian, English subtitles and the depiction of rare historical documents makes the film both accessible and informative to a wide audience. Staff notation today is an inseparable part of music in Iran. Today, within the local classical tradition staff notation plays a seminal role both in pedagogy and creative practice alongside the traditional oral methods. Avanegar tells both the story of the earliest encounters of Iranian music with notation methods, as well as the subsequent adoption of them by various musicians. The films’ narrative of musical transcription in Iran is broken up into four broad parts that provide overviews on: (1) medieval musical transcriptions in the Islamic World from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century; (2) European travelogues and songbooks collections on Persian music from the seventeenth century to the nineteenth century; (3) the adoption ofWestern notation by Iranian musicians in the first half of the twentieth century; and (4) the musicological transcriptions by Iranian musicologists in the post-WWII period. The opening section features the thirteenth century transcription methods of Safi al-Din al-Urmawi. While not examples of staff notation, Mohammadi explains how these early transcriptions mark the earliest attempts in the Islamic world to document melodies on paper, using letters to represent pitch and numerical values to designate duration. A transcription from Safi al-Din’s original manuscript is displayed for audiences unfamiliar with these documents. Subsequently, medieval Islamic scholars Qutb al-Din al-Shirazi (the thirteenth century) and Abd al-Qader Maraqi (the fifteenth century) are introduced through their works that used this method. The continuation of this method is traced to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Ottoman courts to the figure of Demetrius Cantemir (d.1723).
