About this Song
Saat Berkata emerges from Indonesia’s vast, interconnected network of sound creators, positioned within the formal classification of Music/Mix, a category designed to hold auditory works that cannot be contained by the narrow bounds of any single established genre. The Music/Mix label serves a critical purpose in documenting and centering sound works that draw from multiple, often seemingly disparate, creative wellsprings, weaving together strands of practice that might otherwise be siloed in formal archives, catalogs, and creative spaces. In Indonesia, where the archipelago’s more than 17,000 islands hold thousands of distinct cultural traditions, each with its own rich history of auditory expression, the need for a flexible classification like Music/Mix has grown alongside a generation of creators who move fluidly between the cultural inheritances of their home regions and the global flow of creative ideas that shape contemporary sound practice across the world.
