THE CONTINUITY OF AND CHANGE IN THE GENDINGS (MUSCICAL COMPOSITIONS FOR GAMBELAN) ACCOMPANYING THE PEKELIRAN (PERFORMANCE) OF SURAKARTA STYLE WAYANG PURWA (CLASSICAL SHADOW PLAY)

This article is intended to find the answer to the phenomenon of and change in the musical compositions accompanying the performance of Surakarta style classical shadow play. Traditionally, the musical compositions were arranged in accordance with the scenes and characters in such a way that no change could be made arbitrarily; in other words, they were arranged permanently. However, new musical compositions have been recently created to replace the existing ones, meaning that what was permanently arranged was not absolutely adhered to. The musicological, shadow play puppetry dramaturgy and social approaches, and the theory of change were used in the study. The data were collected through library research and field observation. The data were textually analyzed. In addition, the data were also analyzed using the technique of playing gambelan instruments. The results showed that several musical compositions kept being presented; however, the identities of the others had been changed in regard to their pitches ‘laras’ and the way of performing the classical shadow play ‘garap’. The (internal) need for how the classical shadow play should be performed ‘garap’ and the (external) need for fulfilling what musical compositions were desired and selected by the viewers determined whether a musical composition was continued or changed. Keywords: Continuity, change, musical composition, performance, and shadow pla

Shadow Rendering from Omnidirectional Light Sources

Tato práce pojednává o možnostech zobrazení stínů z všesměrových světelných zdrojů za použití knihovny OpenGL. Zejména se zaměřuje na algoritmy Cube map shadow mapping a Dual paraboloid shadow mapping. Dále jsou v práci obsaženy výsledky srovnání implementací těchto algoritmů z hlediska časové náročnosti vytvoření stínové mapy a také z hlediska vizuální kvality stínů.This work discusses the possibilities for shadow rendering from omnidirectional light sources using OpenGL library. In this work the Cube map shadow mapping and the Dual paraboloid shadow mapping algorithms are described. Further more, this work contains the results of a comparison of these two methods in a way of time required for shadow map creation and a comparison of visual quality of resulting shadows.
