Methods: This article uses a literature study method obtained from various sources. Results and discussion: production, reproduction and marketing arrangements must be handled professionally to establish harmony within the music industry network in Indonesia. Competition from several music industry players in the world does not prevent Indonesia from looking for formats to develop its music industry. The strengths that exist between government, academics, business and community are sectors that must be strengthened in developing the music industry in Indonesia. Implication: development of the music industry in Indonesia from upstream to downstream so that large areas of Indonesia can be reached in the music industry. Apart from that, we should also pay attention to some of the potential of music that exists in several regions in Indonesia which can be used as a mainstay in developing a music industry that is unique to the Indonesian nation. © 2024 Institut Seni Indonesia Denpasar INTRODUCTION Music has become part of people's daily needs. In this case, music is no longer central to culture but music has become part of other pop culture, such as books, films and other cultural products (Nugroho, 1998: 154). This brings music closer to being a human creation. This happens because music is the most beautiful traditional heritage, traditional music is also related to tourism art packaging, traditional music is a regional identity. 1 Journal of Music Science, Technology, and Industry [JoMSTI] Volume 7, Number 1, 2024. E-ISSN: 2622-8211 Judging from the music subsector, an understanding of the meaning of music is very necessary to be used as a reference for research related to the related subsector. According to kbbi.web.id, music is (1) the science or art of arranging tones or sounds in sequence, combination and temporal relationships so as to produce compositions (sounds) that have unity and continuity; (2) tones or sounds arranged in such a way that they contain rhythm, singing and harmony (especially those using instruments that can produce these sounds). With this definition, the concept of music becomes a reference for the field that will be the object of his work. But music mapping is necessary to understand the field itself. Understanding in this field will be part of efforts to optimize the development of the creative economy because music is basically a supporter of the creative economy. In this case, the music genres that can be mapped are those related to the creative economy, such as pop music, keroncong, dangdut, Western classical music, and so on. Creative economy-based Western music can be identified through determining notation, instrumentation and vocalization. This can be seen through pop music with rock rhythms with drum set instruments, keroncong music with ukulele and bass string instruments, dangdut music with Malay drum instruments. Instrumentation in the realm of the Creative Economy can also be packaged as a type of blended music or hybrid music. The presence of hybrid music combines ethnic music instrumentation with Western music performances. This mixing of instrumentation playing forms will give rise to Indonesian ethnic idioms which will become an art form with an Indonesian character. Apart from being conceptualized within the framework of characteristics with Indonesian ethnic nuances, the scope of the music subsector cannot be separated from the types of music categorized as industrial music and non-industrial music. Industrial music tends to be attached to popular culture with the characteristics: many people like it, low-level work, work that pleases people, and culture that people create for themselves. This characteristic is represented in popular music. This concept is contrary to the characteristics of non-popular music. However, the development of the creative economy does not give up non-popular types of music because the existence of non-popular music is also a wealth of creativity for artists. Therefore, it is necessary to develop non-popular music that can be accepted by society in the same way that society accepts popular music. 2 Journal of Music Science, Technology, and Industry [JoMSTI] Volume 7, Number 1, 2024. E-ISSN: 2622-8211 The issue of the development of music in fact cannot be separated from the definition of music itself. According to several music and social experts, it can be said as follows: Merriam in the book "The Anthropology of Music" (1964: 32-33), music is a symbol of things related to ideas and behavior of society. According to Boedhisantoso, S. in Kesenian dan Nilai-nilai Budaya (Arts and Cultural Values) (1982: 23) and Melalotoa in Pesan Budaya dalam Kesenian (Cultural Messages in the Arts) (1986: 27), Music is a universal human need that never stands alone apart from public. Revest (1954: 220) says that music is something that is assumed to be the existence of a number of tonal patterns that are articulated rhythmically, more or less constant, and found in various melodic combinations. Rooger Kamien "Music Appreciation" (1980: 2) states that music is part of sound which is formed by four components, namely pitch (height of the tone), dynamics, tone color, and duration, as stated below: “ music is a part of this world of sound, an art based on the organization of sounds in time. We distinguish music from other sound by recognizing the four man properties of musical sounds : pitch, dynamics (loudness and softness), tone colours, and duration.” An interesting statement was put forward by Soeharto in Kamus Musik (Music Dictionary) (1992: 86), the definition of music is the expression of ideas through sound, the basic elements of which are melody, rhythm and harmony with supporting elements in the form of ideas, nature and color of sound. However, in its presentation, it often includes other elements, such as language, movement or color. A melody is a series of a number of notes or sounds, which are responded to based on differences in pitch or rise and fall. It can be a series of a number of tones or sounds, which are responded to based on differences in pitch or rise and fall. It can be a complete form of expression or only a fragment of an expression. Rhythm is a regular movement that flows, due to the constant appearance of accents. Beauty will be felt more by the interweaving of differences in (...truncated)
