Sažetak
Sasando biola is a diatonic tube zither made of bamboo with an external resonator, haik, with the number of strings ranging from 24 to 48. Nowadays widely recognized as a symbol of the Nusa Tenggara Timur province in Indonesia, sasando belongs to the traditions of the island of Rote, and Kupang in West Timor. This research stems from my experience of playing in Nusa Tuak, a band of combo musicians and sasando players who regularly performed in Yogyakarta and across Java, and the experience I gained there shaped the research in its methodology and inquiry. For the field research I conducted from November 2016 to June 2018 in Yogyakarta, and in January 2018 in Kupang, I opted for performance practice-based methodology. Actornetwork theory is applied through recognizing the actors which are relevant for my interlocutors, and which relate to each other to form a network. The chapters are organized in a manner which follows the recognized actors: firstly, I examine the history and then proceed with anatomy of the instrument, playing techniques, tuning, current performance and instrument-making practices. Accompanying practices related to the safeguarding, such as transmission of knowledge and the role of sasando in tourist promotion of Kupang are examined as well. Through all the mentioned categories, sasando is a symbol and a medium of expressing the identity of both individuals and the local community. Creativity and innovation of each sasando player and/or maker contribute to the development of sasando and its symbolic and medial role. The thesis also includes an analysis of performance practice of Ofa Langga, a song from Rote which became widely recognized as a local anthem, and a YouTube playlist with these and other performances which I gathered in Kupang.
