About this Song
Collaborative creative practice has long anchored Indonesia’s sprawling, interconnected network of sound makers, whose work spans every conceivable mode of aural expression, rooted in centuries of local creative tradition and shaped by the global exchange of ideas that has defined cultural production across the archipelago for generations. SELALU, the joint work of Ari Lesmana and David Bayu, occupies a space that resists the narrow, one-size-fits-all genre labels that often structure how audiences engage with new sound work, falling outside the standard categories that organize most public catalogs of creative audio. To be categorized outside those familiar, widely used genre markers is not a flaw in the work, but a testament to its refusal to align with the expectations that come with slotting a piece of audio into a pre-defined niche.
