Penarabadan from FPELV by Kuntari
Indonesian composer Tesla Manaf is a restless sonic adventurer, constantly searching for new sounds in classical, jazz, electronic and experimental music over a decade-plus musical career. Since 2019, he's devoted his creative energies to KUNTARI, a project that dives deeply into rhythm and percussion-based drones.
Following his 2022 EP Larynx (Yes No Wave), the track "Penarabadan" continues the dive. The title and structure are both derived from Manaf's practice of lucid dreaming, which he uses to create random music during his sleep. Prepared cornet simulates the voice of animal mating calls over a 15th-Century rhythm from Banyuwangi, known as Hadrah Kuntulan. The effect is a slowly melting milieu from which emerges a pulse that drives relentlessly toward a terrifying climax.
