SANDIKALA ENSEMBLE – Epitaph

SANDIKALA ENSEMBLE – Epitaph
[YESNO 117]

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.

“Access Frame: Autonomy”

The series of compilations titled Access Frame aim to present a wide spectrum of local alternative music (with emphasis on electronic and experimental music) that has found its safe haven on the internet. The never before encountered entwinement of technology, society, making music and ownership rights has been causing a serious conflict between free culture and the outdated and exploitative concepts of copyright. Adhering to the spirit of free access, online labels are the first in the struggle for equal access and a more fair copyright (facilitated by the introduction of the Creative Commons license).

In this spirit we are supporting the annual celebration of netlabel culture on the Netlabel Day every July 14th. netlabelday.org

Soja Calcium – Omerama

Soja Calcium – Omerama

Soja Calcium

“Omerama”

A few months ago, I started having one on one video chats with people on the internet, completely at random, on an Omegle-like platform. Must have been thousands of people. Conversation duration would vary from a few seconds up to, say, 2–3 hours. Talked with people all over the world. Various languages, ethnicities, ages, etc. Soldiers in combat zones, neo-Nazis, flat-earthers, opera singers, Zulu tribe members, boxers, gypsies, oil rig workers, illegal immigrants, terminal cancer patients, Zionists, Talibans, Taliban victims, coke-addicted cops, rapping grandmas, gay Muslims… And of course, also a ton of “normal” people that were nonetheless just as interesting. For most of these interactions, I tried to channel my inner Louis Theroux and not pass judgment.

After a while, I felt the need to document this new hobby of mine. Started taking notes, then later would ask people to say something random I could record. Often, I would be making a track already, then would record someone and add it to the track immediately. So in that way, the tracks would influence the recordings, and the recordings would influence the tracks.

I tried to keep this collaborative theme throughout this release, and worked with this Tbilisi (Georgia) dancer to make a video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5nSjlUKvN0), and with a Russian label I really like for distribution.

Isien

“Kanashibari World”

Netlabel Day 2025:

Kanashibari World is a 9-track journey through memory and machine, crafted by electronic artist Isien. Drawing inspiration from the hazy, analog warmth of Boards of Canada and the neon-lit pulse of 1980s synth pioneers like Gary Numan and Depeche Mode, the album fuses nostalgic IDM textures, lo-fi rhythms, and melancholic synth melodies. Each track feels like a dream half-remembered – equal parts eerie and beautiful -immersing the listener in a retro-futuristic soundscape haunted by the ghosts of VHS tapes, analog static, and synthetic emotion.

Charm, lost – innocent. For want of clasp, the charm descended unexpectedly to locales unforeseen. It joins other once-charming brethren, evolving from expressions of personal joy to memories of the strangeness of circumstances. Retrieval is unlikely, but if you do discover charms, remember from whence they came.

“Cold White Light”

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

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”

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.

FAF2

“The Lipsian Cave”

In the endless dusk of planet FAF2, The Lipsian Cave hums with low frequencies, echoing ancient rhythms beneath crystalline strata. Formed by sonic erosion, its corridors pulse with dubtechno reverberations—tones not made, but discovered. Seismic basslines sculpt chambers of resonance, each beat shifting tectonic plates of memory and time. No life dwells here, yet the cave listens, records, transforms. A natural archive of vibrations, its atmosphere distorts space, drawing satellites into rhythmic orbit. “The Lipsian Cave” is less a place than a phenomenon—an ambient relic of sound, looping forever, untouched by beings, yet alive with pure frequency and geological groove.

“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.
