About this Song
The performative core of wayang kulit, the shadow puppetry tradition referenced throughout the sound work KI NARTO SABDO | GORO GORO 12, anchors every segment of this layered recording, which brings together discrete pieces of performance tied to the cultural landscape of Surabaya and the broader Indonesian archipelago. As a work that falls outside standard commercial genre classifications, it centers the curation of regional performance pieces, weaving them into a single cohesive sequence that honors the original context of each snippet while creating a new, extended listening experience that reflects the ethos of the wayang kulit tradition itself. That tradition, which relies on a mix of musical, vocal, and dramatic performance to bring shadow play stories to life, has long centered the combination of distinct works to serve a larger narrative, a framework that shapes every choice in this sound’s assembly.
