SANDIKALA ENSEMBLE

“Epitaph”

SANDIKALA ENSEMBLE – Epitaph

Epitaph is a composition by Dion Nataraja, developed in collaboration with Sandikala Ensemble.

Epitaph is a continuation of an investigation into a compositional method in which the tempo progressively decelerates. This method is inspired by the concept of rhythm in Javanese gamelan, where as the tempo of a gending slows down, the spacing between the balungan (core melody) tones widens, while instruments like the gendèr, gambang, and peking become increasingly dense: there is a paradoxical sense of time.

In Javanese gamelan, this process is often likened to the image of a blossoming flower: a gending begins like a closed bud, and as the rhythmic level rises, as the ornamental density increases, the flower blooms. However, I am not interested in a blooming flower—I am interested in a flower that withers and rots. This is why, in my works including Epitaph, the tempo continuously slows down.

The rotten flower is a symbol of critique. I have no desire to align myself with the glorification of tradition—to hell with the sublime. Rather than glorification, this work pays attention to the wounds of history that risk being forgotten. In the middle section of the piece, there is an electronic sound intervention resembling a broken radio: it is a collage of the voices of Wiji Thukul, Mahmoud Darwish (the Palestinian poet), and Frantz Fanon (the anti-colonial thinker and revolutionary from Martinique). Wiji Thukul sings his poem Apa Guna, Mahmoud Darwish reads a poem about his longing for the land of Palestine, and Frantz Fanon speaks on anti-racism and national liberation. But these voices appear unclearly, like traumatic memories arriving beyond our will.

These fragments are sandwiched between quotations from the traditional gending Lalermengeng, a piece often associated with death. Its presence, too, resembles trauma: a history that returns without control. The reference to Lalermengeng also reframes the three voices mentioned earlier; the broken-radio-like sound is also reminiscent of a swarm of flies, hovering around a rotting memory of the past.

At the end of the piece, there is an intervention in the form of noise. This moment is the only one in the work that uses noise, creating a stark contrast. Poetically, noise plays the role of a Ratu Adil—a messianic figure who halts the unstoppable flow of history toward apocalypse. In an irrational world, the hope for redemption is the only rational thing. But redemption can never clearly articulate itself—thus noise arrives. Noise is the future that refuses clear articulation.

Epitaph adalah karya komponis Dion Nataraja yang dikembangkan bersama Sandikala Ensemble.

Epitaph adalah karya kelanjutan dari investigasi mengenai metode komposisi di mana tempo karya terus-menerus melambat. Metode ini terinspirasi dari konsep irama di gamelan Jawa, di mana ketika tempo gending melambat, jarak antara nada balungan semakin melambat, instrumen-instrumen seperti gendèr, gambang, dan peking justru semakin padat: ada konsep waktu yang paradoksal.

Di gamelan Jawa, proses ini sering dikaitkan dengan gambar bunga yang berkembang: gending dimulai dengan kembang yang tertutup, dan seiring naiknya tingkat irama, seiring kepadatan ornamen meningkat, kembang ini menjadi mekar. Namun, saya tidak tertarik dengan kembang mekar: saya tertarik dengan kembang yang layu dan busuk. Ini sebabnya dalam karya-karya saya, termasuk Epitaph, tempo secara terus-menerus melambat.

Kembang busuk adalah simbol kritik. Saya tidak memiliki keinginan untuk terhubung dengan pengagungan tradisi—persetan dengan yang adiluhung. Daripada pengagungan, karya ini menaruh perhatian pada luka-luka sejarah yang terancam dilupakan. Di bagian tengah karya, ada intervensi bunyi elektronik yang terdengar seperti radio rusak: ini adalah tumpukan dari suara Wiji Thukul, Mahmoud Darwish (penyair Palestina), dan Frantz Fanon (pemikir dan pejuang anti kolonial dari Martinique). Wiji Thukul menyanyikan puisinya “Apa Guna,” Mahmoud Darwish membaca puisinya yang berkenaan dengan rasa rindunya pada tanah Palestina, dan Frantz Fanon berbicara tentang anti-rasisme dan pembebasan nasional. Tapi suara-suara ini hadir tanpa kejelasan, seperti memori traumatik yang kedatangannya berada di luar kehendak kita.

Fragmen suara ini hadir dihimpit kutipan gending tradisional, yakni Lalermengeng. Ini gending yang kerap dihubungkan dengan kematian. Kehadiran gending ini juga mirip dengan trauma: sejarah yang tiba tanpa ada kontrol. Referensi Lalermengeng juga memberi asosiasi baru terhadap fragment tiga orang yang saya sebutkan, suara yang terdengar seperti radio rusak juga mirip dengan kerumunan lalat, mengitari memori masa lalu yang busuk.

Pada akhir karya, ada intervensi dalam bentuk noise. Momen ini adalah satu-satunya momen di karya yang menggunakan elemen noise, membentuk kontras yang kuat. Dari sisi puitis, noise berperan seperti Ratu Adil yang menghentikan laju sejarah yang terus-menerus mengarah pada kiamat. Di dunia yang irasional, harapan akan penebusan adalah satu-satunya hal yang rasional. Tapi penebusan tidak pernah bisa mengungkapkan dirinya secara jelas: maka noise hadir. Noise adalah masa depan yang menolak artikulasi jelas.

About the Composer

Dion Nataraja is a composer, experimental vocalist, and scholar from Indonesia, currently pursuing a PhD in music composition at UC Berkeley. His musical and scholarly works have been focusing on the intersection of areas such as Javanese gamelan, spectral techniques, instrument building, multimedia composition, and anticolonial theories.

The composer-pianist Anthony Cheung described Dion’s music as “a true intercultural music for our time.” By the gamelan composer-performer Wahyu Thoyyib Pambayun, his music has been described as “succeeded in expanding the musical language of the Javanese gendèr.” He has attended masterclasses and studied with musicians of various genres, such as Toshio Hosokawa, Chinary Ung, Ken Ueno, Edmund Campion, Carmine-Emanuele Cella, Nick Brooke, Allen Shawn, Steve Lehman, Darsono Hadiraharjo, and Midiyanto. In 2020, he was awarded as a finalist of Talea Ensemble’s emerging composer competition, and in 2022, he was awarded as a OneBeat fellow.

His music has been included as a part of Brown University’s “Asian Musical Modernisms” course syllabus, as well as in concerts such as PGVIS Symposium (Traditions in Transition), Jogja Noise Bombing, Salihara Jazz Buzz, MATA Festival, Soundbridge Festival, and many more. As a scholar, he has published his writing in Jurnal Kajian Seni of Gadjah Mada University, and he has given lectures in venues such as California Institute of the Arts, Salihara Arts Center, Perpromi, October Meeting, among others. At the moment, he is focusing his work on Sandikala Ensemble, a Yogyakarta-based ensemble that develops experimental techniques and new gamelan instruments with the aim of expanding contemporary gamelan music’s horizon.

Dion Nataraja adalah komponis, vokalis eksperimental, dan peneliti asal Indonesia yang saat ini tengah menempuh studi doktoral dalam bidang komposisi musik di UC Berkeley. Karya-karya musik dan akademisnya berfokus pada persilangan antara gamelan Jawa, teknik spektral, pembangunan instrumen, komposisi multimedia, dan teori antikolonial.

Komponis-pianis Anthony Cheung pernah menggambarkan musik Dion sebagai “musik lintas budaya sejati untuk zaman kita.” Sementara komponis-pemanggung gamelan Wahyu Thoyyib Pambayun menyatakan bahwa musik Dion “berhasil memperluas bahasa musikal dari gendèr Jawa.”

Dion pernah mengikuti masterclass dan belajar dengan para musisi dari berbagai genre, seperti Toshio Hosokawa, Chinary Ung, Ken Ueno, Edmund Campion, Carmine-Emanuele Cella, Nick Brooke, Allen Shawn, Steve Lehman, Darsono Hadiraharjo, dan Midiyanto. Pada tahun 2020, ia menjadi finalis kompetisi komponis muda Talea Ensemble, dan pada tahun 2022 ia terpilih sebagai fellow OneBeat.

CONNECTION LOST

Backs of past lovers and friends

Disappearing in the crowd

Connection lost, secrets forgotten

Fade away

I loved and I loved and I always will

And you’ll never look back

COLD WHITE LIGHT

in your world I no longer exist

but in mine you are painfully real
at dark hours
I stare at my phone

hoping its cold white light would wake up and light the room
like the moon
and tell me
you suddenly remembered that I do exist

“Static Psalm”

Krokar – Static Psalm

«This is not a recording.
This is an emergence .

The album was born from tension — inner and outer.
It was not composed.
It came into being , as if spoken from another layer of reality.

There are no melodies here. No comfort. Only the density of sound, where every noise is an echo of something lost , and every silence holds the shape of what once was.

It does not offer joy.
It does not provide solace.
It simply stands , like a monument to what happened — and to what remained unsaid.

If you’ve ever heard speech in static , felt form in distortion , understood that noise can have a soul — then you are ready to listen.

Static Psalm is not music.
It is an address — one you can only hear if you are prepared to face the silence that follows.

This album is not for everyone.
But if it found you…
then you already know what it’s about.»

“The deep space”

sternenspringer – The deep space

the soundscapes on “the deep space” are exactly that: deep, vast, immersive. while earlier releases like exoplanet and antipode charted stellar phenomena and inner contrasts, this new work seems to drift further outward — into uncharted dimensions between ambient, industrial atmospheres, intricate electronica, and classic techno/electro motifs. the boundaries dissolve, but the structure remains: each track is a unique constellation, orbiting within a carefully mapped sonic system.
in a time where much of electronic music gravitates toward formula, sternenspringer continue to embrace risk, nuance, and depth. this release is not just another chapter, but a reaffirmation of their commitment to sonic integrity and artistic independence.

and yet another fine tonAtom.net netaudio release.

“RōSHI”

Filipe Miranda – RōSHI

A reflection on a world of feeling—human, artistic, and political—through the natural dynamic of the master-disciple relationship.
RōSHI explores the ineffable within this bond, emphasizing a chain of transmission where the hidden essence is perpetually renewed.

The installation (Dec 2022):
Music and video engage with Francisco Trabulo’s work in a timeless dialogue, suggesting a continuous, universal essence where death holds no meaning.

The performance (17 Dec 2022):
Ephemeral sonic elements are added to this ongoing flow, marking a unique moment that complements the installation. Life stories intersect, and transmission occurs.

Recorded live at the Vila Nova de Cerveira International Art Biennial, by Marco Lima (Hertzcontrol)

Note/Thanks:
The performance includes excerpts of Francisco Trabulo’s voice from a 2006 academic documentary by Joana Ferreira, Ana Maria Silva, and Bruno Costa (ESE-IPVC), produced within the Olhar o Real workshop – Ao Norte.

Lindbergh

“Loopy”

Lindbergh – Loopy

In Mr Schulze’s sense, loop is certainly best described as a squiggle (a not exactly drawn ring-shaped curl). Repetition yes, but please with a bump in the wheel! Whether the grooveboxes that were available to Lindbergh for making music in the early 2000s were capable of such inconsistencies remains to be seen. Either way, the songs on “Loopy” fully live up to the album title.

The album is released approximately 20 years after the creation of the songs on it, which until then had only been released as singles or not at all. The music offers a glimpse into a time when electronic music was reinventing itself by merging with indie. A wonderful new experimental field emerged between synthesisers and computers on the one hand and convoluted bands with guitar, drums, and bass, in which the perfect artificial sounds of the machines often blended with human-generated sounds that expressed lovingly cultivated musical inadequacies. And Lindbergh possessed precisely this charm!

Oh yes, Lindbergh is, of course, pop music too! Songs like Mango, Über Milch, and Im Zug nach B, which speak of a life somewhere between shared accommodation, the unbearable lightness of existence, and all-nighters, have the potential to become indie disco hits. And only Mr. Schulze knows why they failed to achieve great success …

RATTLING MY BLUE HAND
rattling my blue hand
taking the middle right out
of your devalued day
make a prison
in your image
print it on a shirt
you can sell yourself
you can tell yourself
you need to wear your hair shirt every day
money for something i don’t have
money makes the world go round to their neighbours
with a knife – with a can full of acid
with a holiday brochure
with a test strip that measures
the paranoia in your saliva
get a new work shirt
get a new clay wife
break the mould
get the gold
buy back all that shit you sold
only to find out
you were well and truly ripped off by yourself
honey drips
you need to wear your hair shirt every day
rattling my blue hand

COLLAPSING PULSE ON TRUE TELEVISION
plaiting thumbnails
a keen eye
floral tributes to falling soldiers
and swollen women
thick of sleeve
real and true – real and true
small movements become giants
the telling of
both heat and cold
(real and true)
some jagged expanse
a sweeping scrape
lifting the layer
hipped hug
slinked in a villain head
automatic mind
true television
i’ve been collecting for a wall
reshaping in sight
of snow caps
sin-tax
eye for eye

REAL GRAS IN YOUR SKIN
right off – written off
right off – written off
clothed in cow hide
who says – who said yes
who says – who said yes
little busy crows
with fish-hooks for toes
am i real? – am i unreasonable?
just because
am i real? – real unreasonable
tipped off – ripped right off
no place like home
worked out – works right out
working out – get a thicker skin
you need to fight – fight through
fight off today
chose a little sweetness from the plate
chose a little sweetness from the plate
share it
create a story – create a story
rub it into your skin – rub it into your skin
stained red
parallel and running wild
glue back your mind – am i real?
trash deal – am i real?
am i unreasonable?
here comes the crash
too much passion
it’s so old fashioned
right off – written off
worked out – working out
rub it into your skin – rub it into your skin
lip sneers – as if to say
who are you, anyway?
am i real?

Though some albums like Arzak II and Mantra Wave remain not release free, this is the very last rADio eNd album. Sometimes, things must die for the void to be felt — and for you to wish to fill it with your own dreams.
rADio eNd was like a giant telescope aimed at life on Earth.
Uncentered art digging into the universal disaster, seeking survivors, glimpsing humans still alive among the ruins. Humanity lost in a senseless world.

Why label any utopia as Never-Neverland?
They let you dream ambitiously, but children’s reverie is banned.
Maybe the meaning must be sought in daily life —
in the corruption of your child-soul,
in dreams cut away to bonsai your mind
so it fits into tiny boxes called prisons/homes/comfort/habits.

Adults teach us fear.
Adults teach us the self-mutilation of constant lying.
They use authority to deny autonomy.
Pretending to be “parents” when being only self-centered people who care more about their own pleasure than anything else.
Pleasure is good — but not that kind of artificial, consumerist pleasure :
false needs, real illusions —
instead of raw perception, instead of meals rooted in the living soil.

Not this endless hunger for more, instead of a search for balance.
They teach us to obey their unreal storytelling —
Should I call it horror tales disguised as fairy tales?

Sell your life-time to capital.
And teach your children to sell theirs.

Technology hides that it’s global slavery.
When a rich man uses a computer or an AI, he doesn’t save time —
he steals the life-time of poor people in less “fortunate” lands, condemned to fuel it.

Alike capitalism pretending to be the solution when in reality it’s the problem.
They pretend to be models —
but they are the trap, the embodiment of the sick old world.

And when children grow older and try to speak truth,
adults label it adolescence —
to sweep the truth under the rug.

Stuck in loops.
While they drain our energy.
Artificial paradises flavour sticking to everything.

Something is rotten.
The Earth has become a giant supermarket.
Client souls arranged in aisles.
Insane masters are here to pick our children,
eating, fucking, doping, killing, without limits —
amongst the ruins of a dying world like if it was just a game.

Everybody knows… and denies.
We should not let this happen.
Everybody knows… and still too many want their slice of the deadly cake.

When imbalance lasts too long, it always collapses.

There are no more islands left.
And as they destroy them all,
they try to erase their very memory.

No more children — only future customers.
Like all other species, everything must be part of this game.
Worshiping their god with a thousand masks.

It’s a war against everything wild and alive.
Xenophobia rules the planet.
They turn off the lights with their weapons of mass destruction.

This album is dedicated to the victims of Israel.
This must be said clearly:
it’s not only Benjamin Netanyahu —
it’s Zionism itself responsible for the genocide in Gaza.
And perhaps the worst is not only the mass death,
but that so many people know —
watch —
and do nothing to stop it.
That they know but do like if nothing happens.

A View from Ed End.

So many days have opened their wounds in front of my eyes
that I can’t tell anymore
if this is just an echo of a long-forgotten thought.

But when I listen to this album,
it feels like watching the light of a distant star:
so far away that by the time her light reaches me, she’s already gone.

That’s it.
Even though the base was recorded last year and later upgraded by Pete,
it comes from a place that no longer exists.

These days, it’s hard to speak without a bitter aftertaste.
I keep moving forward, facing whatever comes —
I don’t look back.
because I feel that there’s no way back.

And still I know:
Neverland isn’t in front of me.
The way this journey changes me inside is a reality swap leading to this place.

I erase the white chalk from the blackboard
and start drawing a new crazy dream,
making room for my sound-friends.

No matter what’s lost in the past —
it’s long gone.

rADio eNd had a beginning, and it had an end.
It was alive.
Now we change vehicles.
It seems for us, after this, there is no more moniker.
We become a chain of names, DNA.

Never give up.
That’s exactly it — Pete’s words.
Mind-traveller, drawing maps like paintings,
blending dreams and realities.

I’ll never give up
until everyone has found his own way
to break free from the pattern, the norm.

We mutate, we become everything —
because when you never give up,
you shed your skin,
cast it into oblivion,
the old ceremony, again and again:
a new life after another life,
inside a mind in free fall —
into creation.
