Keywords: globalization, information and communication technology, Javanese Karawitan
Abstract: Globalization eliminates time and space boundaries within local culture scope into global one. The effect of
westernization definitely becomes one of globalization components. The development of information and
communication technology accelerates globalization process. Karawitan, a traditional art originating from
Java, has also experienced westernization process. Globalization in information and communication
technology, besides its positive impact, also has negative impact on the existence of karawitan and on
Indonesian people as the heirs of this culture. The lack of control over karawitan works uploaded on the
internet and the ease of access to these works will certainly threaten karawitan music existence. Moreover,
the data information of karawitan circulated on the internet is dominated by foreign sources. Thus, as a
cultural heritage, karawitan should be preserved through good policies and documentation which are
completely and validly arranged. In addition, the use of internet technology as a medium to present musical
information in cultural globalization era is one of many ways to do to maintain the existence of Indonesian
people as karawitan inheritors.
1 INTRODUCTION
There are two cultural heritage categories, tangible
cultural heritage which includes monuments,
artifacts, and cultural area; and intangible cultural
heritage as traditional architecture, regional
languages, traditional fabrics, local wisdom,
traditional crafts , traditional culinary, ancient
manuscripts, traditional clothing, traditional games,
traditional arts, traditional weapons, traditional
technology, as well as oral traditions. In Indonesia,
the number of cultural heritages which have been
successfully documented does not reflect the overall
amount considering abundant wealth of Indonesia's
cultural heritage.
Cultural statistic data published by the Secretariat
General of the Center of Education and Culture Data
and Statistics of Indonesia in 2016 show the fact of
extinction in cultural arts of Java, in which 26
performances, 6 music and 16 dances have been
extinct. Back to 2013, as reported in Sindonews, an
national newspaper of Indonesia, Aprinus Salam, the
chief of the centre for cultural study of Gadjah Mada
University, mentioned that there were about 200
types of traditional cultures in districts Sleman,
province of Yogyakarta which have been and near to
extinct. There were quite difference in numbers
between data given from these two institutions; one
which represents Indonesia government stated that 48
cultural arts of Java have been extinct, while another
one which represents a research institution of a
university stated that about 200 types of traditional
culture have been and near to extinct in just one
districts.
Further, Salam (2013) stated that the lack of
protection, preservation, development and funding
from the government as policy holders, traditional
culture transfer which is increasingly imperfect or
diminished in its essence and the entry of foreign
cultures due to the influence of globalization are
considered as the reasons for the cultural heritage
extinction.
Globalization opens boundaries, forms linkages
and influences all aspects of life among nations.
Westernization is one component in globalization
(Scholte, 2001) which gives the influence of the

diffusion of western culture into local culture.
Information and communication technology
accelerates this globalization process. The main
actors in this process are developed countries which
master information and communication technology
through the diffusion of their local own values into
global values. This condition threatens local/regional
(Indonesian/traditional) arts such as gamelan
(Mubah, 2011).
Nasution (2017) proposed an approach focusing
on the defense of local culture by strengthening the
filter to foreign culture and resistance on values
threatening local culture in order to stem
globalization in culture. In addition, Mubah (2011)
suggested government intervention to issue
regulations which can protect local culture and to use
communication and information media (internet) in
marketing local culture to the world.
This paper aims to discuss globalization
accompanied by the development of information and
communication technology in relation to the
existence of culture and cultural heirs. In addition, the
objects of this study are karawitan, and Javanese
karawitan community. Karawitan is traditional music
ensemble from Java which use gamelan as the music
instruments, and gendhing as the songs. The
discussion focuses on the application of information
and communication technology into western arts
(western) as well as their influence on Indonesian
local culture, i.e. karawitan.
2 KARAWITAN
2.1 Existence in Modern Technology
Globalization
The influence of globalization can be found in the use
of music recording systems or notations in karawitan
as one of Javanese culture products. Music notation is
a western technology requiring musicians to obey and
follow all the conditions recorded within, while
karawitan art uses it as a general picture in playing
music. Becker in Rusdiyantoro (2011) stated that
notation system is the most dangerous influence of
western music in karawitan. However, this system
can penetrate Javanese culture even almost without
any resistance. Although the use of notation system
can lead to misleading, this influence in its
development can open up the awareness of musical
figures to document gendhing in order not to cause it
disappear as well as to make it as a medium of
learning, and to make it used by musicians as a guide
in presenting karawitan.
The effect of diffusion not only stops in the
application of musical notation, but song
formulations which are common to western music are
also applied by Sindusawarna to gendhing with a
concept of ding dong for gatra, a kind of a bar
containing four beats, in formulation: small ding-
small dong-big ding-big dong (Supardi, 2016) or
fore-back-fore-terminal formulation of gatra by
Martopangrawit (1969). Furthermore, western people
who study karawitan, such as Becker and Becker
(1982), Hughes (1989), and Benamou (2016) tried to
mathematically formulate gendhing further to predict
the pitch value of notation for each beat. The
paradigm of western society in learning karawitan
tends to formulate gendhing using mathematical logic
of if A then B, while Javanese karawitan characters
emphasize more in the view that gendhing reflects a
feeling which certainly cannot be formulated. Thus,
the logic built whould be if A then it is not always B.
Logic difference in understanding gendhing
between Indonesian and western musical figures does
not cause any conflict or resistance from Indonesian
musicians or even make cancellation of gendhing
formulation by the Western Karawitan community.
The humble nature held firmly by Javanese karawitan
people makes it the basis for accepting differences by
allowing some formulations to create gendhing.
Supanggah (2015) states that there is nothing wrong
or right in composing gendhing since it is widely
opened to be created by anyone, yet the society
acceptance must be taken into consideration in
composing gendhing.
It can be seen that the attitude shown by Javanese
karawitan
figures/community who can accept these
differences is definitely a proper way with the current
cultural globalization which absolutely cannot be
dammed. People or individuals from foreign
countries or from Indonesia itself are free to learn
karawitan in Indonesia, and are surely free to apply
what they have learned based on their knowledge
capacity. On the other hand, the globalization era
makes it possible for everyone to publish works
through the internet which can be accessed by anyone
and anywhere without any control to measure the
suitability of the work against karawitan
characteristics. This condition can actually erode the
existence of karawitan originality if there are more
works circulating on the internet which do not fit
karawitan characteristics and consequently there will
be more who study karawitan through the internet.
The phenomenon of artificial intelligence
application in art also cannot be prevented in
karawitan. Artificial intelligence approach is used to
develop computer programs possessing the ability to
Globalization, Information and Communication Technology, and the Existence of Culture and Its Inheritors: A Case Study on Javanese
Karawitan
241
create songs. This phenomenon has broadly
developed since the emergence of string quartet
composition works (one type of classical music)
created by computer programs (Hiller and Isaacson,
1959). The development of artificial intelligence-
based computer program which is able to create
songs started to become a trend with the application
of various artificial intelligence algorithms and
methods in creating compositions of various music
types, such as works from Xenakis (1965), Ebcioglu
(1986), Gillick et al (2009), Kitani and Koike (2010),
Pestana (2012), Quick (2015) and (Pachet, 2016),
while the application of artificial intelligence to
computer programs which can create gendhing was
developed by Hastuti et al (2016).
It is natural that there is a controversy over the
application of artificial intelligence in karawitan.
However, resistance cannot prevent the continuation
of this phenomenon. The researchers in this study are
based on efforts to document the characteristics of
karawitan in the form of computer programs which
can compose a song. Moreover, the researchers try to
formulate the characteristics of gendhing and store
the formulation into a computer program so that
karawitan characteristics will be maintained forever.
In addition, if the generated gendhing does not meet
its original karawitan characteristics, there will be
many more further researches carried out to fix and
improve the computer program performance.
The existence of karawitan originality must
indeed be maintained without raising any rejection on
the existing karawitan work which becomess the
impact of current cultural globalization. In addition,
policy formulation related to any possibilities which
may influence karawitan existence is necessary to be
issued by considering social, legal and technological
development perspectives. Policies with original or
non-original classification outputs need to be
considered, for example: by using the classification
proposed by Sunarto (2015) which distinguishes new
music in karawitan into three classes, i.e. classical-
traditional, popular, and gagrag/contemporary.
Development of computers and cellphone
technology has affected the development of
applications for virtual music instruments, such as
Rubbycell's Pianist HD, Synthesia by Synthesia LLC,
Piano Play and Learn by Yokee, and Smule by Ge
Wang. The application of virtual music instruments
which was originally created for learning and game
purposes has been growing so extensively that it was
used for music shows. Dannen (2009) describes that
Smule is able to turn iPhone into a creative channel
which allows the users to learn, play and perform a
musical show. This phenomenon finally penetrates
karawitan world with various created applications of
virtual gamelan instruments, such as e-Gamelan by
Dian Nuswantoro University, Gamelan Toetoel /
Gatoel by B201dev, Saron Digital by ProAndro, Bali
Digital Gamelan by Daksa Digital, Bueh Developer's
Digital Gamelan, and so on.
Different views between Indonesian karawitan
figures/community and virtual gamelan application
developers are commonly based on the same goal, i.e.
preserving cultural heritage. FX Hadi Rudyatmo as
the Mayor of Solo city, Central Java Province stated
that the use of virtual applications cannot fulfill the
need for respect to both the ancestors who created
gamelan and the noble values of gamelan
(www.liputan6.com). In contrast, developers of
virtual gamelan application possess different
perspectives in interpreting cultural heritage respect,
i.e. developing virtual gamelan application is as an
effort to preserve it.
Similarly to the application of artificial
intelligence in creating gendhing, the development of
virtual gamelan cannot be possibly avoided or even
prevented as one of globalization impact s in
information and communication technology whether
from within the country or from abroad. Moreover,
globalization allows all works accessible by anyone
and anywhere. In virtual gamelan case, Catherine
Basset (2005), a French citizen, is one of many
pioneers in the development of virtual gamelan
applications with her work Mécanique Gamelan’
developed in 2003. In addition, this application can
be downloaded in the internet. In conclusion, it is
good to provide some opportunities for the
Indonesian to contribute in preserving their national
culture through the use of using information and
communication technology by developing virtual
gamelan, although it is necessary to conduct more in-
depth studies investigating its positive and negative
impacts
2.2 The Existence of Indonesian People
in Karawitan Information
Globalization
Cultural heritage preservation can be done by directly
coming into the cultural heritage location and by
developing systems which are able to act as cultural
information centers (Aufar, 2012). Easy access to
information today is a challenge for Indonesian
people in managing karawitan. As a cultural heritage,
karawitan must be preserved by conducting good
documentation which is completely and validly
arranged. Besides, the use of internet technology as a
medium for presenting karawitan information in this
ICONARTIES 2019 - 1st International Conference on Interdisciplinary Arts and Humanities
242
cultural globalization era is one of the major things to
do in maintaining the existence of Indonesian people
as karawitan inheritors.
The use of terms karawitan’, gamelan’ or
gendhing on the names or contents in websites
owned by either Indonesian people or non-Indonesian
citizens has eliminated the boundaries of space and
time in the scope of local culture to be global one. The
influence of information and communication
technology in culture globalization leads to the lack
of the existence of Indonesian people as karawitan
inheritors. This fact can be found when we conduct
some searching for karawitan information via the
internet. Although karawitan is an indigenous
Indonesian cultural heritage. Based on the facts
obtained while searching karawitan information in
the internet using keywords related to karawitan,
such as karawitan”, gendhing”, gending”, or
gamelan”; most karawitan information data are
dominated by foreign sources.
Searching conducted through Google search
engine using keyword karawitanproduce abundant
data on websites presenting karawitan information. In
addition, at the top of the lists are Wikipedia website,
a number of individual blogs, and linked websites
from YouTube which present video performances
from individuals or karawitan groups. Searching with
keyword karawitan musicstill do not result in some
web site data presenting karawitan music information
in a structured way in terms of completeness and its
validity. The search recommends various websites as
it does when searching using keyword “karawitan”.
Furthermore, search using keywords gendhing”,
gending, andgamelan results in almost similar
data to the search using keyword “karawitan”. Sadly,
the irony occurs since the search results mostly refer
to websites owned by non Indonesian citizens when
searching using keywords gendhing collection or
gending collection”, even gendhing database which
is easily obtained in the Internet is through a website
gamelanbvg.com (Boston Village Gamelan from the
United States).
Besides websites belonging to individuals, groups
or institutions, Wikipedia, blogs (Blogspot or
Wordpress), and YouTube are Web sites dominating
the internet media to present karawitan
content and
those websites are owned by non-Indonesian citizens.
Accordingly, the placement of karawitan content on
the websites, by both Indonesian people and non-
Indonesian citizens, is a manifestation of karawitan
globalization. In the perspective of cultural inheritors,
karwotan information dominated by foreign sources
clearly reduces the Indonesian’s pride as karawitan
inheritors.
Regarding the naming of websites, the identity of
websites using gamelan name is not inherent to
Indonesian people ownership; for instances:
gamelan.org is owned by American Gamelan
Institute, gamelan.org.nz is owned by Gamelan
Wellington Newzealand, gamelan sulukala website is
owned by Plainfield Village Gamelan from Vermont,
USA, and gsj.org stands for Gamelan Sekar Jaya is
based in San Francisco city, United States.
It is clear that karawitan has globalized, and it is
legitimate for any individual or group from Indonesia
or other countries involved in karawitan art to use
karawitan or gamelan or gendhing terms as their
identity or group. On the other hand, Internet
technology accelerates the process of karawitan
globalization. The ownership and mastery of Internet
technology by karawitan community from the
western countries which is more advanced than
Indonesian karawitan community provides more
opportunities to the western people to publish their
knowledge and karawitan works through the Internet
by including the word gamelan as the identity of their
websites. Although foreign karawitan communities
still respects the origin of karawitan by providing
some information stating that karawitan or gamelan
is originated from Java, Indonesia, the Indonesian as
the original owner of karawitan and must consider
their existence as the main provider of karawitan
information resources on the Internet.
Searching information for karawitan groups
(gamelan studios) in the United States is actually
easier than searching for karawitan groups from
Indonesia. Data saying that there are more than 100
karawitan groups in the United States, including the
profile of the karawitan group, have been published
on Wikipedia website on a page entitled “List of
gamelan ensembles in the United States”. More
ironically, there is no information about Indonesian
karawitan figures/musicians on the page entitled
“Gamelan” in the Website, it mentions some
musicians collaborating with karawitan instead, such
as John Cage, Colin McPhee, Lou Harrison, Béla
Bartok, Francis Poulenc, Olivier Messiaen, Pierre
Boulez, Bronislaw Kaper, Benjamin Britten, and
many others.
Searching information using keywords “Javanese
karawitan figures” results in not much different data
from other karawitan information searches. There is
no website providing complete and valid information
about Javanese karawitan musicians or figures,
profile information of such Javanese karawitan
musicians as Sindusawarna, Martopangrawit,
Mloyowidodo, Wasitodiningrat, Sumarsam, Rahayu
Supanggah, Sri Hastanto, Narto Sabdo, and so on; is

Karawitan
243
documented incompletely and still spreading on
various websites so that the search will be
impractical. If this condition continues, Karawitan
figures can be forgotten by future Indonesian
generations.
The eradication of Indonesia identity as the
original owner of karawitan will continue to occur if
Indonesian pople do not actively conduct complete
and valid karawitan documentation with easy access
to karawitan information on the internet. In addition,
it will continuously happen if karawitan information
resources on the Internet from foreign countries
dominate with uploaders or karawitan content owners
as well as Websites providers which present
karawitan information on the internet and also if there
are more users (karawitan information searchers) not
from Indonesia.
2.3 The Priorities and Actions
Javanese karawitan documentation includes history
and learning, karawitan figures, gendhing (creators,
notations, lyrics and meanings), karawitan groups,
performances/shows (audio, or audio and visual),
gamelan instruments which have historical value, and
so on. Until today there is not any easy access to the
availability of karawitan information in complete and
valid data through the Internet of which this should be
provided and guaranteed by the Indonesian people as
karawitan inheritors.
Javanese karawitan preservation must be done
through complete and valid documentation, and
supported by the ease in information retrieval/search.
There are three main points being priorities in
maintaining the existence of the Indonesian as
karawitan inheritors in karawitan globalization era,
they are: (1) developing an ICT-based Javanese
karawitan documentation system which supports the
availability of Javanese karawitan databases and easy
information search via the internet, (2 ) conducting
socialization to Indonesian people to build awareness
of Indonesian karawitan community about the
importance of maintaining the existence of
Indonesian people as karawitan inheritors in this
cultural globalization era, (3) providing knowledge
transfer to Indonesian karawitan communities about
the mechanisms to actively contribute to the
documentation and provision of karawitan
information through built information systems.
Karawitan is one of Indonesian cultural heritages
which is rich of figures, works, instruments and other
information. If the search for karawitan information
through the internet does not reflect the wealth of
karawitan, it can be assumed that there is still a lot of
data in the form of manuscripts which are spreading
out everywhere, and there are still many Indonesian
karawitan communities who do not yet realize the
importance of digital documentation or they even do
not have any knowledge to do digital documentation
as well as to use the internet to publish the
documentation.
By considering the value of Javanese karawitan
wealth, process of developing system which includes
the formulation of regulations in karawitan
documentation through the internet, collection,
validation, digitization and data uploading as well as
system maintenance mechanisms (continuous content
management and system promotion on the internet)
will require both hard and smart work . furthermore,
not less important work is to disseminate and transfer
the knowledge to Indonesian karawitan communities
regarding karawitan documentation system. The
involvement of stakeholders, such as: representatives
of the Republic of Indonesia government,
representatives of cross-academics with fine
arts/karawitan arts background, information and
communication technology, or others, representatives
from karawitan practitioners and other relevant
parties; is needed to maintain the existence of
Indonesian people as the inheritors of karawitan by
being karawitan information center through ICT-
based karawitan documentation.
3 CONCLUSIONS
Globalization eliminates time and space boundaries
within the scope of local culture to be global one and
the influence of westernization becomes one of the
components in globalization. Karawitan, a traditional
art originating from Java, is also affected by
globalization. Besides the positive impacts, the
development of information and communication
technology accelerating globalization process may
cause a negative impact on the existence of culture
and its inheritors if it is not properly and correctly
addressed. Some facts described in this paper indicate
that the government, Indonesian generation (people),
and especially Indonesian karawitan community are
less prepared to respond to the use of internet
technology in the globalization era of information and
communication technology particularly in culture. In
principle, the negative impacts arising cannot be
solved without involving the information and
communication technology itself.
In-depth studies are required to do to formulate
policies in preserving the existence of karawitan as a
cultural heritage, and the existence of the Indonesian
ICONARTIES 2019 - 1st International Conference on Interdisciplinary Arts and Humanities

(people and nation) as its inheritors. Government
interference is one thing which must be done by the
Indonesian government, as the Malaysian
government's efforts to protect its local arts. In 2008
Malaysia sought to review the law restricting the
broadcast of foreign songs on private radios by
applying a discourse regulating a 90:10 quota, i.e.
90% for broadcasting local songs and 10% for
broadcasting foreign songs (www.republika.co.id).
Under these conditions, Malaysian government
encourages more artists in Malaysia to be ready to
compete than to prevent the entry of art from foreign
countries by considering that making prevention
solution measures less effective by the existence of
internet media. Besides the government, it is
necessary to involve other stakeholders from such
various backgrounds as experts from various fields,
for instances: culture (karawitan), information and
communication technology, law, social, education,
etc. Last but not least and should also be regarded as
a priority is to create a karawitan information center
on the internet and to conduct transfer of information
and communication technology knowledge to
Indonesian karawitan community as a real effort to
build awareness on the importance of actively
contributing in documenting everything related to
karawitan in the internet world.
