from album from last april. 

One thing i don't like about soundcloud is seeing the amplitude of the track while listening. It gets rid of any suspense from the unpredictible future of the track. by seeing it all at once you can see when it goes to the drop or explosion, crescendo or whatever. I'll rather not even see the runtime of a track. Also it propably makes you want to click around more?... whatever

Tekanan is the full-length debut of Melbourne-based Indonesian-Australian drummer and sound artist, Rama Parwata. A thorough exploration of rhythmic capabilities and percussive improvisation under ever-shifting timbral and stylistic environments, Tekanan is Parwata’s examination and documentation of his vast musical influences in electro-acoustic improvisation, Indonesian gamelan music, free jazz, electronic music, R&B, and noise music, whilst still maintaining an entirely unique non-idiomatic musical voice. Tekanan sees Parwata experimenting with not only the drum kit, but additionally implementing no-input mixing boards, musique-concréte sampling techniques, junk percussion, electric guitar, and computer music production to create a relentlessly metamorphosing soundscape that abruptly, yet seamlessly oscillates between ethereal ambiances to turbulent barrages of rhythm and noise through five unique movements.

Aptly named after the Indonesian word for pressure and stress, Tekanan was composed by Parwata with the intent of it being a listening experience which would pressure the listener to have no clear indication of the direction of the music and where it will ultimately settle, leading the listener on a sinuous, yet intriguing aural journey. This title additionally applies to the pressure of the challenging nature of the music, in a performative sense, which pushed Parwata to his physical and mental limits to perform and compose.

“As cliche or banal this might sound, I tried to make a record that was purposely made to be hard to put into a box. I didn’t want to make a “drumming” record or a noise record or anything of the type, but a record that just contained "good” music (or what I constitute as being good). Many aspects of my musical life were injected into this release: gamelan music (the first music I was exposed to), noise, hip-hop, free-improvisation, Xenakis, jazz, electronic music. Ultimately this record is a homage to those musical influences.” - Rama Parwata

An active figure in Australia’s experimental music and art scenes, Parwata has worked with the likes of Marco Fusinato, Robin Fox, and Robbie Avenaim, and choreographers Stephanie Lake, Juliet Burnett, and Melanie Lane. He is also a member of seminal long-running Melbourne Doom Metal band, Whitehorse.

As of 2019, Parwata has been a co-curator and committee member of Melbourne’s legendary concert series, Make It Up Club, which has been presenting weekly avant-garde improvised performances since 1998.

Daphne X, Água viva

Tangled up and rooted in between chilean folklore, gaucho laments and an electric landscape sung by mechanical birds, Ahrre is a record that portrays a vernacular decay, as well as it rejoices in the streams still flowing through it's traditions. The result is a set of impressionist scenes, which make use of the recording quality and the distorting effects of basic digital technology as aesthetic resources. The low-fidelity textures are applied to the sound as virtual varnishes that fuse melody and soundscape into a distant and mysterious fog.

The treatment of sound coming from a recording device such as a cellphone is crucial. Guitar compositions are shrouded in an impending rash, as if coming from inside a layer of decaying sonic skin. There's also a sense of hearing an aloof AM transmission, or an archive of field recordings scarred by the harshness of dust and moisture. The folk traditions that Rambu assimilates and the warmth in his arrangements seem fractured and threatened by the medium holding them, as half obliterated stories in an ancient binary parchment. It's all about substance and texture, at the edge of palimpsest.

The word "Ahrre" is a twist of the interjection "arre!", an hispanic expression shouted by riders to rush horses into battle or racing, but this record is more on the key of whispers. Sometimes drowned in hazy atmospheres, surrounded by electronic neighs and trills, the compositions seem to sprout from desolate land. Ahrre is the work of a craftsman whose might, even though solitary and bruised, appears as an eager ghost handcar returning home through a dilapidated digital railroad.
