Saluang is a traditional musical instrument of the Minangkabau type of flute made from bamboo. In the history of its development, there are four types of Saluang in Minangkabau including Saluang Darek, Saluang Sirompak, Saluang Pauh, and Saluang Panjang. Each Saluang has a different structure of the shape, sound color and also playing techniques. Nowadays Saluang shows are often displayed on shows wedding party (baralek), tagak gala, and also some traditional ceremonies at Minangkabau. According to M. Kadir, who has researched Saluang Darek in the area of Agam. In Vietnam and Burma. In each country, they name it in different names. In Vietnam, it is named "salwang" sal means secret and wang means event. In Burma, it is named as "salwang" which means loud sound. Originally Saluang comes from Nagari Singgalang Sepuluh Koto, Tanah Datar, West Sumatera. Based on Boestanoel Arifin 1980 says that in 1901 life and development of Saluang arts already spread around the Singgalang community.
Saluang Darek has experienced change in shape by adding modern elements. Saluang Darek's performance which has a drum section with a definite form of a melody that can be collaborated with another instrument to add to the appeal of the Saluang Darek show.
This composition shows the composer gives a little bit about his work. In this composition, the composer churns out the traditional music of Saluang Darek with techno music.
This work departs from the tradition of Minangkabau music that is Saluang Darek, the composer himself is inspired by one of the most popular instrument tools from around the world that is electric guitar, and how one-day Saluang Darek can also be like the guitar that is wearing effects, the audience was cheered and clap hand.
And if Saluang Darek uses effects like a guitar, maybe Saluang Darek will enter certain musical areas, for now, Saluang Darek has undergone development, which used to be traditional and now has been made Saluang dangdut. While the composer is more inspired and developed Saluang Darek with effect. After the composer gave a little bit about his work and accompanied by applause and cheers from the audience, then started the show.
In this work, I see there are three players who are players Saluang and midi (Techno), bass guitar players, and racer. At the beginning of my work, I saw an appeal for Saluang, a player playing with his eyes closed and began to feel the game Saluang.
Then after the appeal Saluang, enter the Dendang is in a kick by a player and in accompanied by Saluang. And after that, there is a buzz from the sound of techno music, and there are some sounds and sounds of musical instruments that sounded from the music Techno, maybe a composer trying to explore the color of the desired sound using Techno or midi. The bass guitar player looks engrossed groping his bass guitar, as well as the techno player who is managing his techno music game.
Techno diverted, the racer just paused, closed his eyes, and appreciated the techno music game, the bass guitar player kept fingering his bass guitar and why his game should be like that ?. The techno music game is filled with the sound of Saluang Darek played by the same person.
In the techno music, there are several sounds like drum sounds, triangle, and tone also Pakiak Saluang to the kick and then the sound of an electric guitar that uses the effects derived from the game Techno accompany. And connect the sound of the kicker, the tone, the game technique, and Garinyiak on the electric guitar game techno is the same as game Saluang. Maybe a composer is trying to move the game technique Saluang Darek to electric guitars that use the effects played on techno music, and Saluang game still played and coincided with this techno music.
Also accompanied by various sounds derived from this techno music game, such as Pakiak Saluang, drum, and triangle, and also bass guitar. The vocals of the guy, the vocals are kicked by a composer himself, a composer himself. Not only singing but also as a player Saluang Darek and music Techno itself. And not for long from the Dendang is kicked by the composer. The composer is directly connected with his puff game Saluang. Techno music game continues to sound and also bass guitar players play while in tandem with the music game Techno, over time the game stopped and disconnected.
After the game on the first part is disconnected or commonly mentioned in the term music work is the connection is disconnected. And connected with bass guitar solos and in accompaniment with the sound of drums that come from the music techno. In this section start solo Saluang, with stuffing electric guitar and bass guitar, bass guitar player looks very cool and very feel the game and also Saluang Darek players continue to play with a solo with appeal Saluang Darek. Here also there is an appeal code to enter his Dendang.
The lyrics to Dendang:
Urang babaliak ingok jalan 2x dimanyo
After this, there is a unison pattern that is the same pattern game but using different tools between the bass guitar and electric guitar playing that is played on the techno music. And ends with a bass guitar solo game as a code or bridge to enter his next kick.
The lyrics to Dendang:
Dima hati indak karusuah
Sadang basayang ditinggakan 2x
Dimanyo kini dimanyo
And game interlocking between bass guitar and electric guitar, and drum as his herd, Then duet game Saluang Darek and electric guitar. In this third part, there is a piece of popular music is accompaniment dendang in accompanied by saluang darek, and bass guitar and also percussion instruments derived from music techno. And ending game ends with a sweet game between Saluang Darek, bass guitar, electric guitar, and drums as herding.
The game is over and the audience also applauds and cheers lively on this performance. And the plasticity of a composer is satisfied and also very happy, and also the supporters of the work are also no less satisfied and happy than a composer.
