BASASAE in collaboration with Muhammad Ravi Arrauf and Alieneta Firdausi will premiered their new collaborative audio-visual work entitled “Contemplation: Benang Sembung” (2021) in SkillBox.
This collaborative audio-visual work entitled “Contemplation: Benang Sembung” came from an urge to experiment with the new artistic ideas by blending the character of organic and synthetic matter within the visual and aural aspects. Interpreting double bass as the representation of a musical instrument that extends the function of human limbs and organs, live coding music software as the representation of sound matrix systems, poetry, then visual objects and gestures as the video materials and manipulation. In a contemplative manner, this work tried to subtly blend those aspects into one artwork that could be luxuriating aurally and visually.

This is the poetry in Bahasa Indonesia that has been included in the work:

Benang Sembung
by Maria Maya Aristya

Kamar beku yang tak terhalang,
Menghantar selam kaki-kaki akar,
Tiga jengkal meniti dua jengkal,
Sediam bersua alurnya,

Kamar beku lancang-lancang,
Melanang akal tak sekali tiba,
Aram temaram berangin ke telinga,
Apas bersua alurnya

Suggested poem in English:

Sambong String
by Maria Maya Aristya

Inside that empty cold infinite space,
Slowly steps leaving traces,
Three inches spans, reach out to two
Round between those knotty prints and silentness

Grooving in that empty cold infinite chamber,
As if we were stones fling to the edge,
From here to every they land, spreading, clacking,
Their echoes, do they convey to you?
