Exploration of Abrasion Beach Waste and Soundscape as Inspiration for Creating Musical Compositions

This study aims to develop a new approach to music-making based on waste exploration and natural sounds (soundscape) of Kuala Beach, Serdang Bedagai Regency. This study's methodology is qualitative in nature. Observation and documenting techniques are used in the data and information search process. The stages of preparation, data gathering, analysis, and processing, production, and concluding the research findings comprise the research process. The findings of the study show that the method of creating music and videos based on waste and soundscape of Kuala Merdeka Beach consists of a pre-production stage, namely recording various soundscapes and sound engineering from waste in Kuala Merdeka Beach, a production stage consisting of preparation, creating music compositions, and editing, and a pre-production stage consisting of mixing and mastering. The composition of the resulting music composition has four parts. The arrangement of music uses several editing techniques, namely cutting and deleting, copying, and dragging. While some of the effects used consist of delay, fade in / fade out, and panning.
