Featuring Arab-influenced Indo/Malay music, deconstructed gamelan, psychedelic Occitan and Turkish folk, keroncong and closing out with a specially blessed, unreleased jaipong footwerk remix of Waldjinah’s ‘Kembang Kacang’, recorded in 1967. Also in this mix is Mother Bank, whose members are from a COVID-born experimental mobile bank in Jatiwangi, Majalengka, West Java whose activities also include recording music together.
This mix also features unreleased recordings I made with friends using slendric tuning developed as part of Latent Sonorities, a project exploring the tuning systems and musicology of Rumah Budaya Indonesia Berlin’s (RBI) Javanese gamelan.
