About this Song
Rooted in the expansive, diverse creative ecosystems of Indonesian sound practice, Tujuh Sumur exists as a carefully assembled Music/Mix, a form that draws together strands of musical expression that circulate within and beyond the archipelago’s thousands of inhabited islands, weaving them into a single cohesive audio work that honors the breadth of creative practice coming out of the world’s largest island nation. The title Tujuh Sumur translates loosely to Seven Wells, a phrase that carries layered resonance across many of the linguistic groups that call Indonesia home, where wells have long served as communal gathering points, sites of shared resource, and spaces where stories, rituals, and daily life intersect for entire neighborhoods and villages.
