Abstract

The research report on “Karawek: kaen music in the contemporary dimension” is a creative research which studied and created a contemporary music for clarinet sextet. The piece was composed by combining north-eastern Thai folk melody called “Lai Kaen” with various 20th century and contemporary compositional techniques such as Serialism, quotation, irregular rhythm, metric modulation, various instrumental extended techniques, the spectral and timbre manipulation as found in electronic music and other techniques. The techniques were used and adapted within a musical structure according to Thai musical form called “Thao”. The piece was conceived as an experimental study on timbre and quotation in order to create a new classical music composition in Thailand. This research was achieved by experimentation and collaboration of the researcher and leading Thai clarinetists then recorded in high quality digital audio file and as a video clip which was published on the internet.
