Burung kakak tua is an Indonesian nursery rhyme. It was one of the first songs I sang as a child, and it is still comforting to hear the nostalgic melody. I hope it may bring you peace in some way.

Night night..

Burung kakaktua,
hinggap di jendela
Nenek sudah tua,
giginya tinggal dua

Burung Kakak Tua

Illustrative soundscapes and expressive melodies, accompanied by percussion on the millimeter.

blueantsofjakarta is Sjoerd de Roij's (1994) playground, the place where he can truly freely fly from tumble bar to monkey bars to swingset, exploring his deepest fascinations and constantly reinventing himself along the way.
