Simakdialog- Patahan (CD)
(DIGIPACK) Compelling Indonesian electro-acoustic jazz/fusion with a distinctive cultural bent & ECM flavor. For it's first international release Indonesia-based simak Dialog delivers Patahan, a live recording that suggests how Pat Metheny might sound if he were from South-East Asia. A combination of electric and acoustic instruments, the group is innovatively propelled by two percussionists rather than a conventional drummer, but the result is no less powerful. Keyboardist and composer Riza Arshad, guitarist Tohpati and bassist Adhhitya join vocalist Nyak Ina Raseuki and percussionists Endang Ramdam and Emy Tata for five lengthy, episodic and finely detailed compositions that create a unique nexus of jazz and less-traveled ethnicity.
Tracklist:
- One Has to Be
- Spur of the Moment
- Kemarau
- Worthseeing
- Kain Sigli
