The attempt to stretch the concept of irama by exploring the liminality between pulse and noise is at the heart of this piece. This idea, coming from Central Javanese gamelan, organizes the temporal density within a piece; starting from irama lancar with one saron panerus beats per balungan notes, to irama rangkep with sixteen saron panerus beats per balungan notes. Hyperkembangan is based on a central question: what would the sound of an extremely high level of irama be, where the balungan notes is imperceivably sparse, while the elaboration is extremely dense? This hypothetical situation leads me to conceptualize a piece based on a progression from pulse, to complex sound (represented by spectral harmonies), to noise—noise here functions as a representation of an overload in the elaborative part. The piece is played with two gendèrs with pair tuning consists of customized 14-notes system that could accommodate spectral harmonies (based on the spectra of note 1 in gendèr struck with hard mallet) and its various manipulations. The "X" in the title—as well as a reference to Boulez's "Polyphonie X"—suggests a kind of cultural defacing, where new content is imposed on the cultural memory of the music, yet still maintains parts of those memories; a form of a musical palimpsest.

KEKWA adalah sebuah drama kolaborasi terbuka berbagai matra seni bercerita, berbagai akting, adegan, musik, lagu, aneka visual dan atraksi spesial lain, berjalin berkelindan saling mengisi dan memberdayakan, menjadi suatu pertunjukan teater segala umur yang tidak biasa.

KEKWA bercerita tentang pencarian tanpa batas, upaya tanpa henti, mempertahankan keselarasan bumi dengan seluruh penghuninya; eksplorasi dan eksploitasi beragam sifat alam dan manusia, bunga rampai plot dan karakter tak terduga, termasuk ketika sains, khayal dan imajinasi berbaur bebas, tak terikat pada pakem dongeng yang sudah ada.

KEKWA mengajak kita berpetualang; penuh dengan keputusan buruk dan destruktif, kesedihan dan penyesalan yang menyesakkan; menjadi bukan siapa-siapa di tempat yang tak pernah kita kunjungi, pikiran dan tindakan yang tak kita pahami, juga tak bisa kita jelaskan; berujung pada pengalaman indah mencengangkan, membuat kata-kata tak bermakna, ketika momen dan kenangan kehilangan batas waktunya!

Kekwa! Alami Mimpimu - Main Theme

Indahnya Semesta - Finale

Aach Aku Jatuh Cinta - (Dari Mana Datangnya Asmara)

Pull The Plug is the starting point for Parasite Lottery, and was written from the perspective of the politicians and policy makers that are cutting cultural budgets. 
As it so often is, the argument of Pull The Plug is mainly pragmatic: in times of crisis and exigency, it argues, there is no room for arts and culture, and the disgruntlement of those who think differently cannot change a thing about that. Furthermore, phrases like "leftist hobbies" make clear that pulling the plug is a conscious political move, as well an attempt at silencing of voices that are opposed to official policy.

This song is part of Parasite Lottery, a pilot version of a collective lottery system for art organizations in the Netherlands and their communities proposed by Wok The Rock and Casco. Download the song and comic on www.parasitelottery.com.
