Vague003 – Drowning

I recently fell in love with a song called Kembang Kacang whose original author (as of now) I do not know. However, the version I found was sung and recorded by the venerable Ibu Waldjinah in 1959 when she was just 14 years old.

Ibu Waldjinah has sung and recorded over 1500 songs and appeared on over 200 releases, true musical royalty. 

I’d used it to open up a DJ set when I was on Hör radio, but I thought it would be great to remix it after seeing a really incredible DJ set with Yung Singh in June 2022 at Panorama Bar for CTM. The feeling of hearing Punjabi music mixed with drum n’ bass, embodying distinctly ‘non-white’ grooves and rhythms in Panorama is difficult to describe, but I’d venture it was a meaningful catalyst to start working on the remix.

Shortly after seeing the set, I began work on my version of Waldjinah’s Kembang Kacang, with its keroncong ‘sway’ brought to the fore with my 160bpm breaks.

Fast forward to a couple of months later and I was chatting with my friend Helmi (who was in Solo at the time) and joked about how cool it would be to be able to ask Ibu Waldjinah’s permission to remix her track. ‘Oh, I met waldjinah a month ago she lives near by…let’s have a call!  I might be come by her house and ask her in person.’

Of course, my Indonesian vocabulary is quite limited, let alone my Javanese, so I was grateful when my dear friend Bilawa offered to translate a more formal request to her. Some other folks involved are the ever eloquent meLê yamomo who also introduced me to Citra Aryandri (from DeCoSEAS) who helped me ferry the letter to Waldjinah’s son, Bambang Herry who read the letter to her.

Finally, on December 6th, thanks to Helmi, I got to video chat with her son over WhatsApp in which he communicated with Ibu Waldjinah’s blessing to remix her version!  I hope you enjoy it.

Komorebi

Italian composer and producer of experimental electronic music Corgiat, aka Giovanni Corgiat Mecio. Born in 1995, he specialized in Electroacoustic Music Composition at the Conservatory of Turin. His research is based on the deconstruction of classical compositional forms and on the exploration of processes, recombinations and transformations sound. He has performed at various festivals such as Movement, Robot, Seeyousound, Nextones.

"What was a really crucial sonic experience for you?"
"It is difficult to sum it all up in one experience, I will try to describe it in 3.
In front of my childhood home is a paper mill whose machinery sound has always fascinated me, the complex sound gestures these machines can create are incredibly musical. Another pivotal experience was watching the film Arrival whose soundtrack by Jóhann Jóhannsson: the way he uses human voices makes me cry every time. Finally, the third is Keith Jarrett's concert at the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome (2016), he plays solos floating above time but always attached to it, sometimes it seems to be minimalism, but never predictable. I like to think of his music as an inspiration to go further starting from classical forms."
