The Integration of Selober Traditional Music Within the song “Hakikat Sebuah Cinta” by Dr. Azam Dungun

This study aims to explore the integration of traditional Lombok music, particularly the "Selober," into modern music through a unique composition titled *Lagu Hakikat Cinta* by Prof. Madya Azam Sulong. Employing a practical-based research design supported by document analysis, this project is structured into two main phases to achieve a coherent blend of traditional and contemporary elements. In the initial phase, the distinctive sounds of the Selober instrument were recorded and inputted into the digital audio workstation software *Sample One* to preserve its authentic timbre. Following this, in the second phase, the Selober sound was transformed and layered into four distinct tracks: Track Selober Transpose-12, Track Selober Delay, Track Selober Reverse, and Track Selober Snare. Each track reflects a different aspect of musical adaptation, allowing the traditional tones to harmonize with modern music elements. This method enabled the creation of a dynamic fusion, merging Selober’s traditional tones with digital sound effects, resulting in a distinctive piece that embodies cultural heritage within a modern musical framework. The final output, available in mp3 format, highlights the potential of digital technology in revitalizing traditional music and underscores its adaptability within contemporary musical landscapes.
