Abstract

This paper presents the artistic research on the creation of a music composition The Bhusa for woodwind and piano chamber ensemble as inspired by the contemporary weaving artist Kachama Perez and Lanna traditional music. Lanna is a term defining the earlier independent kingdom during the 13th to 18th centuries. Its center consists of today’s northern part of Thailand, and its cultural heritage is unique. Nowadays, the heritage of Lanna textiles is better preserved and collected, but Kachama Perez is one of the prominent artists who preserves the textile art by infusing the local textile techniques with new ideas and forms. The Bhusa is developed around the artwork and life of Kachama Perez and uses the sound of Pi Jum, the traditional Lanna woodwind instrument, as a model. Impressionism and the Pi Jum sound style are studied and utilized to create the composition.
