Aceh Serune Kale and Rapai Ethnic Musical Instrument Preservation Method Based on Two-Dimensional Multimedia Animation

Abstract

Ethnic musical instruments are cultural heritage that must be preserved. This is done so that the existence of these musical instruments is not extinct and can continue to be known to future generations. Aceh is an area that also has ethnic musical instruments of various kinds such as Serune Kalee and Rapai. During this time, the preservation of musical instruments was carried out through the performance of cultural arts in the form of stage performances or art exhibitions with a predetermined and limited schedule. Therefore, to be able to preserve these musical instruments, it is necessary to introduce these musical instruments so that they are known by the public, especially for early childhood. The method is the use of two-dimensional animated multimedia content so that people can learn these musical instruments in video and audio. The purpose of this study was to design an identification model of the Serunee Kale and Rapai ethnic musical instruments with interactive media based on two-dimensional animated multimedia content. This study produced an interactive multimedia application for the introduction of Serune Kale and Rapai ethnic musical instruments developed using Actionscript programming found on Macomedia Flash. In addition, products were also produced that provided information about ethnic Acehnese musical instruments Serune Kalee and Rapai.
