About this Song
Works that fall into the most open-ended categorizations of recorded sound invite listeners to meet them on their own terms, without the preexisting expectations that come with alignment to a familiar genre, and Untuk Bisa Melihat, Kita Butuh Jarak stands as one such work that resists the easy pigeonholing that structures most engagement with recorded media. Classified under Music/Other/Other, a designation reserved for sound that cannot be sorted into the more established taxonomies that organize how most audiences encounter, discuss, and archive music, this piece operates outside the boundaries that shape even the most niche and experimental of mainstream genre frameworks. For more than a century, the systems built to catalog and distribute recorded sound have relied on genre labels to create shared context for listeners, creators, and archivists alike, providing a shorthand that communicates core context of a work before anyone has a chance to engage with it for themselves.
