Overview
The unit explores the diverse musical practices of Southeast Asia, while investigating regional commonalities and variations concerning the predominance of gongs and bamboo instruments, spirit practices, dance forms, shadow puppetry, colonial influences and popular musics. By examining the geopolitical impact of hills, forests, plains and coasts, the unit also addresses the interplay of tradition and modernity; the impact of war, migration and diaspora on expressive cultures; the relationship between performance practice and musical meaning; and, the role of music in the construction of ethnic, regional and national identities. In addition, students participate in a gamelan ensemble (an Indonesian percussion orchestra) as part of the unit.
