• VA - 'Anthology Of Contemporary Music From Indonesia' CD

For many centuries Indonesia, from the Malay Peninsula throughout the vast archipelago, has been subjected to successive foreign cultural invasions (Mongolian, Indian, the Western 'Civilization'), which have left their deep imprint on the indigenous way of life. The cultural diversity is naturally reflected in the music.

In the current globalized and digital communications-dominated era, influences from the Western world become more and more evident, in everyday life, as well in popular art and music from Indonesia. But listening to the tracks included in this compilation, you’ll discover how traditional Indonesian music, even in its more 'primitive' forms, as well in the very elaborate and developed ones from Javanese and Balinese tradition, are still very much recognizable. The current mix of influences in the experimental and avant-garde music from this region has resulted in an extremely fascinating kaleidoscope of sounds.

Experimental, Noise, Drone, and Electrocoustic music from: Senyawa, Asangata, Wukir Suriyadi, Gaung Jagat Ensemble, Stylucipher, Patrick Hartono, The Resonance Of ((( US ))), SAABA, Theo Nugraha, Dadang Dwi Septiyan, Rully Shabara, Genta Nirvana, and Artmosf.
