Alkisah by Senyawa (Official)
On February 21st, 2021 L_KW and Soydivision will be joining a global group of 35+ record labels to co-release Indonesian experimental duo Senyawa’s new album, Alkisah. Paying homage to the vast archipelago of traditional musics from Indonesia and fusing it with uncompromising experimental improvisation, Senyawa is galvanizing the efforts of smaller collectives and labels to decentralize distribution and release of Alkisah.
All labels involved are free to determine their own packaging and design for the album, develop their own merchandise, and even remaster and remix the tracks to their heart’s content.
The story of Alkisah itself, - roughly translated to ‘once upon a time’ - tells the tale of a once proud kingdom collapsing in on itself. Rampant abuses of power, the corruption of human character, and the decaying of our planet have all brought about our final Judgement Day - Kiamat.
What happens now that the apocalypse has arrived?
