Extract

In discussing gong ensemble music through the gaze of movement, gaze can be conceptualized at two interrelated levels: firstly, at the general contextual level of the audience (who are the spectators?), and secondly, at the deeper semantic level of auditory-kinaesthetic relationships that manifest social meanings.

Abstract in Malay

Masyarakat Dusun Tinagas mendiami kawasan sistem Sungai Sugut hulu. Tempat ini merupakan kawasan berbukit yang meliputi persimpangan Daerah-Daerah Ranau, Kota Marudu dan Labuk-Sugut di utara Sabah, negeri Malaysia timur di utara Pulau Borneo. Artikel ini, yang berasas dari kerja lapangan di Kampung Tagibang, sebuah kampung terpencil sebelah sempadan Daerah Kota Marudu dan Daerah Ranau, membincangkan muzik ensembel gong Dusun Tinagas berhubung dengan tarian perlahan dan tenang yang ia iringi (mangalai untuk wanita, mongigol untuk lelaki). Pada zaman dahulu, tarian ini diiringikan oleh sebuah ensembel yang terdiri daripada satu kulintangan (satu set gong cerek kecil di atas rek) dan enam gong tergantung yang lebih besar. Dengan berlalunya masa, pemuzik kulintangan yang mahir telah pupus dan alat ini tidak dimainkan lagi. Walaubagaimanapun tarian halus masih terus digunakan dalam tarian tanpa melodi kulintangan yang rumit, tetapi dengan iringan gong tergantung yang berbunyi kuat dan timbre sumbang.

Pertama sekali, artikel ini memeriksa hubungan antara irama gong dan pergerakan tarian. Bagaimanakah muzik ensembel gong sebenarnya memberitahu dan menyokong pergerakan anggun oleh penari? Kedua, artikel ini akan cuba meletakkan genre tarian/muzik ensembel gong tradisional Dusun Tinagas dalam konteks estetik dan budayanya untuk melihat bagaimana ia mencerminkan hubungan sosial dan maknah yang lebih mendalam dalam masyarakat ini.
