Abstract

Sickness and health are quantum conditions that can be manifested from the level of psychobiophysic conditions, when a person is sick then finding the right medicine is a solution for his psychobiophysic condition. One of the efforts that is currently becoming a discourse is optimizing the use value of music as pre-therapy as it develops, such as the use of music in hospitals, schools with special needs, medical rituals. Among the interesting use values &#8203-&#8203-of music is the utilization of Kelentangan through the sound used, believed by the Dayak people in the Baliant ritual macrosystem. The phenomenon of the existence of therapeutic values &#8203-&#8203-generated by the sound of Loudness provides an opportunity to work on its potential through the construction of experimental digital music based on the timbre of its sound as an induction pre-therapy media. Based on this case, the focus of the research is to explain the induction of Kelentangan as a therapeutic medium on the psychobiophysic aspect. This study used a quasi-experimental, where the number of participants consisted of 16 respondents who were randomly selected, age range 20-25 years with a background of cultural differences which were divided into two groups, namely the experimental group consisting of 8 respondents and the control group consisting of 8 respondents. Procedural data collection uses questionnaires and measurements at the stages of pre-test, test and post-test. The results showed that the musical composition of Kelentangan was able to induce a psychobiophysic response through changes in the electrical magnitude value of the experimental group, whose value was greater than that of the control group, while aspects of cognitive interpretation showed that the experimental Kelentangan music was able to provide an objective assessment of music transmission to the preference level and group comfort level experiments that get a value of 75%.
