Contemporary Pattern of Pin Isan: Combining Ideas that Transcend Cultural Boundaries

Abstract

            This article explores the creation of Contemporary Patterns of Pin Isan through the experiences and techniques of artists. The discussion focuses on the integration of Western and folk cultural elements, with particular attention to how the characteristics of Isan folk music facilitate this cultural synthesis and lead to the development of contemporary forms of Pin Isan.            The study concludes that contemporary performing arts emerge from a process that combines culturally diverse ideas and techniques. The development of contemporary Pin Isan patterns involves the application of traditional Pin foundations, which have been progressively refined and evolved over time. This process has resulted in contemporary variations of Pin Isan, contributing to increased cultural diversity in Isan music. Furthermore, it has enhanced the recognition and prominence of the Pin, a traditional Isan musical instrument, in the contemporary music scene.
