Aransemen Musik Subway Surfers World Tour Event 2020: Bali Edition

Abstract

Subway Surfers is an endless run game released in 2012 by Kiloo and SYBO Games. As part of its journey, Subway Surfers has organized a world tour event that showcases the distinctive visuals and music of specific regions. This article discusses one of the musical arrangements from the Subway Surfers Bali Edition. This study employs a qualitative method with a music analysis approach. Data was collected through audio transcription of the Bali Edition music and analyzed using the Miles & Huberman data analysis model, which includes the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the arrangement of Subway Surfers World Tour 2020: Bali Edition consists of seven structural segments spanning measures 1 through 69. The fusion of traditional Balinese music and the game’s main theme reflects an arrangement practice that successfully preserves local cultural identity while meeting the aesthetic and functional needs of the music within the game context. The conclusion of this study is that the ludomusicological approach is effective for analyzing how local cultural elements are articulated in modern game music. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for researchers and game composers in designing music that authentically represents local culture.
