About This Album
Music/Mix as a framework for Indonesian creative practice centers fluidity over rigidity, a category that exists to hold the full breadth of creative work that draws from multiple strands of the archipelago’s rich, interconnected musical traditions, refusing to box artists into narrow categorizations that erase the cross-pollination that has shaped Indonesian music for centuries. Across Indonesia’s thousands of inhabited islands, home to hundreds of distinct cultural groups and creative lineages, the need for a category that can hold work that crosses those lines has long been clear, and Mix fills that space perfectly, offering artists the freedom to pull from any creative influence that speaks to their vision, without having to conform to the limits of any single regional style, scene, or trend.
