Swara grabah: gamelan keramik di desa kasongan

---

idea of turning earthenware into musical instruments has not been the result of a chance discovery but, rather, of a creative process of experimentation that started with an inspiration in the 1970s. The idea was then tried out by creating a set of ceramic gamelan or traditional Javanese musical instruments dubbed Swara Gerabah (The Sound of Pottery) in 2002. The experiment was conducted in the village of Kasongan, Bantul. A socio-cultural approach was employed by involving the adjacent communities, who were routinely active at work in the world of ceramic handcrafting. It took a long time for the process of turning clay into musical instruments to finally produce those able to function like some of the kendhang, gong, saron, and gambang musical instruments in the conventional gamelan orchestra. The set was given outside complementary support by the addition of bamboo flutes. The results of the experiment have shown that maximum use can be made of the potential that ceramics has to be made into traditional musical instruments that are characteristically of the Kasongan region. The results have simultaneously enriched the treasury of ethnic music in Indonesia as well as contributing support to the effort of establishing the village of Kasongan as a place tourists visit because of its famed ceramic handicrafts.
