The collaborative pairing of Ndarboy Genk and Mabes Balker unfolds across a chronological profile that traces the sequence of their creative paths leading to their shared sound, rooted in the shared national creative context of Indonesia, the Southeast Asian home base that forms the foundational backdrop for both artists’ work. The chronological structure of this profile starts with the earliest phase of both artists’ careers, when each operated as a distinct creative voice building their practice within Indonesia’s sprawling, diverse cultural landscape, before moving through the phase of their creative alignment that set the stage for them to combine their perspectives into a single, unified work, and concluding with the formal launch of the sound they created together, titled Kesayangan.
