 Henry Spiller is an ethnomusicologist whose research focuses on 
Sundanese music and dance from West Java, Indonesia. He is interested 
particularly in investigating how individuals deploy music and dance in 
their personal lives to articulate ethnic, gender, and national 
identities. He has studied Sundanese music and dance for more than 20 
years, and he has conducted fieldwork in Bandung, West Java, on several 
occasions, including 10 months of Fulbright-sponsored dissertation 
research in 1998–99.

ABC-CLIO published his first book, Gamelan: The Traditional Sounds of 
Indonesia, in 2004. In 2008, Routledge released a second edition under the 
title Focus: Gamelan Music of Indonesia. His latest book, Erotic Triangles: 
Sundanese Dance and Masculinity in West Java, is slated for publication in 
2010. It focuses on constructions of 
masculinity in Sundanese men's improvisational dance in West Java, 
Indonesia. His current project involves researching 20th-century North 
Americans who were attracted to Javanese music and dance.

Spiller's articles and book chapters appear in publications such as The New 
Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, Asian Music, Worlds of 
Music, Asian Theatre Journal, and Journal of the Society for American 
Music. He has presented papers at regional and national meetings of the Society 
for Ethnomusicology (SEM), the Association for Theatre Arts (ATA), and the 
International Association for the Study of Popular Music (IASPM).

Spiller holds a bachelor's degree in music from UC 
Santa Cruz, a master's degree in harp performance from Holy Names 
College, and a master's degree and the Ph.D. in ethnomusicology from UC 
Berkeley. He taught gamelan at Mills College in Oakland, California, and
 music at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, 
California. From 2002–05 he served as Luce Assistant Professor in Asian 
Music and Culture at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio.

At UC 
Davis, Spiller teaches world music classes and graduate seminars, and he
 directs the Department of Music's gamelan ensemble.

Subject: [kisunda] KIBS 2012 - Kongres Internasional Budaya Sunda ke-2
 

  
Pemakalah Asing Dipastikan Hadir di KIBS 2012
Selasa, 22/11/2011 - 03:37 
BANDUNG, (PRLM).- Pemakalah asing yang akan 
menyoroti perkembangan budaya Sunda dipastikan akan hadir pada Kongres 
Internasional Budaya Sunda (KIBS) ke-2 yang akan digelar Desember 
mendatang. Para pemakalah tersebut adalah Henry Spiller (University of 
California at Davis), Kathy Folley (University of California at Santa 
Cruz, AS), dan Mikihiro Moriyama (Nanzan University, Jepang).
Wakil Ketua KIBS ke-2 Dra. Etti RS, M.Hum menyampaikan hal itu, Senin (21/11), 
di Sekretariat KIBS ke-2, Jln. Garut, Bandung.
KIBS ke-2 menurut Etti merupakan konferensi kedua setelah digelar 
sepuluh tahun lalu di Bandung. KIBS tahun ini kata Etti, kemungkinan 
besar akan menambah jumlah peserta dari 750 peserta pada KIBS ke-1 
menjadi 1.000 peserta pada tahun ini. Sedangkan jumlah pemakalah yang 
akan menyajikan pemikiran-pemikiranya tentang perkembangan budaya Sunda 
sebanyak 80 pemakalah.
Etti menjelaskan, KIBS ke-1 telah berhasil menggugah kesadaran 
mengenai signifikansi budaya lokal ke dalam kehidupan berbangsa. Gaung 
konferensi yang mendatangkan beragam pembicara dari berbagai disiplin 
ilmu dan negara itu, menyadarkan arti kebudayaan Sunda dalam tatanan 
pembangunan dan pengayaan kehidupan berbangsa. Seperti yang tercantum 
dalam rekomendasi yang dihasilkan. 
Konferensi itu pun, kata Etti, menegaskan pentingnya upaya-upaya 
pemertahanan dan pengembangan budaya lokal sebagai bagian dari 
pembangunan jati diri bangsa. Tindak lanjutnya antara lain, di jalur non formal 
meralhirkan berbagai kegiatan kesundaan yang memperkaya khazanah pengetahuan 
dan pemahaman tentang budaya Sunda.
