KONSEP INCEP DALAM PENYAJIAN KOTEKAN GAMELAN GONG KEBYAR

Abstract

Balinese gamelan music has its own aesthetic dimensions for the
group of performers and listeners. However, it can be realized that
achieving a beautiful aesthetic dish is not an easy matter. Especially
for those who are new to, studying, or who do not own cultural
products. This research tries to investigate further the concept of
incep which is one of the references for the aesthetic value of
Balinese gamelan offerings, especially Gong Kebyar. The aim is to
find components that form concepts that can be used as guidelines
in the art inheritance system and its performances. The author uses
a qualitative research model, with a textual ethnomusicological
approach and the working theory popularized by Rahayu
Supanggah. Based on the research carried out, it can be seen that
the concept of incep is related to the value of a dish which includes
instrument blows that sound clear, precise and compact. The
components that form the concept consist of ngatih, celang, and
maketekan. These three components have sub-requisites to achieve
the desired value. Because if it cannot be fulfilled then it is certain
that there will be sounds that are less clean or uncomfortable to hear
in the ear. On the other hand, if everything can be fulfilled, then
surely the percussion performance can achieve the aesthetic value
of the incep performance
