Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
Both albums "Elo Progo Improvisations" and the "Senyawa dan Singo" REMIX version of "Alkisah" are presented as a double album CDR package along with an 11x17 poster of the full painting used for both album covers.

In celebration of the release of Senyawa's new album ALKISAH through a mycelial network of nearly 50 different labels and remixers worldwide, we also offer "Elo Progo Improvisations" recorded by Arrington de Dionyso and Rully Shabara (vocalist of Senyawa) in 2013. These recordings were made near the same site where Alkisah was made- but outside under the trees, not inside a studio- at Tempuran Elo Progo- where the Elo and the Progo River meet in Central Java, very close to the ancient site of Borobodur. It is said that Lama Atisha travelled from Bengal to Elo Progo where he meditated for many years before returning to the continent to become a founder of Yellow Hat Buddhism in Tibet.

Half of the funds raised from this album will be directed to the benefit of our community of artists and musicians in Palu, Sulawesi, to assist in the preservation of traditional music and the sustaining of life in a community affected greatly by recent natural disasters (earthquake, tsunami, mudslides) that happened even before the Covid-19 pandemic even began.

(please note: this is the exact same item described separately in the bandcamp entry for ALKISAH Senyawa dan Singo REMIX, there is no need to purchase both, you get the exact same music and artwork with either entry).

In these improvisations for voices, bromiophone, rubber bands and mirlitons, we tap into the sounds of wind and flowing water and harness those powers as an energetic strength. Some video was also recorded of this riverside session!

As an act of Sacred Reciprocity, this album is offered as a "pay any amount" release so that our friends in Indonesia may enjoy our work together without having to pay for the download. If you live in the United States, Canada, or Europe, etc and have the benefit of a PayPal account with funds, you are requested to offer an amount you feel comfortable with but at least $10 would be ideal. There is also a "physical" CDR release available as a double album that includes my "Senyawa dan Singo" remix of ALKISAH.

Half of the funds raised from this album will be directed to the benefit of our community of artists and musicians in Palu, Sulawesi, to assist in the preservation of traditional music and the sustaining of life in a community affected greatly by recent natural disasters (earthquake, tsunami, mudslides) that happened even before the Covid-19 pandemic even began.
