Senyawa and Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe in session

Jennifer Lucy Allan presents an improvised collaboration session between experimental Javanese duo Senyawa and explorative multi-instrumentalist Robert AA Lowe.

Jennifer Lucy Allan presents an improvised collaboration session between experimental Javanese duo Senyawa and explorative multi-instrumentalist Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe.

Senyawa apply the sonic influences of the avant-garde to their Indonesian musical heritage through the extended vocal technique of Rully Shabara and the modern-primitive instrumentation of Wukir Suryadi. Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, sometimes known as Lichens, is an artist and multi-instrumentalist who uses his voice and modular synthesisers to create spontaneous and ecstatic compositions.

The session took place ahead of their first performance together as part of the New Arts and Music Programme at Sutton House. Thanks to Luis Carvajal and I-D.A Projects.

Elsewhere Jennifer Lucy Allan presents rousing sounds, from Bandung in Indonesia to Lerwick in the Shetland Islands. Up Helly Aa is a series of annual fire festivals that take place in the winter months in Shetland, celebrating their Viking heritage. On the last Tuesday of January, for 24 hours straight, the biggest of all takes place in Lerwick. Expect field recordings of the costumed Viking March.

Plus new music from Indonesian tape label Hasana Editions, and prolific Bandung-based artist Fahmi Mursyid. Mursyid applies granular synthesis and modular electronics to traditional Indonesian instruments and found objects to create timeless sound sculptures.

Produced by Katie Callin
