MO'ONG undertakes a decolonization of his musical identity by critically engaging with the multiple musical traditions embedded within him—modern Western music and traditional Javanese gamelan—seeking to dismantle hierarchical structures of
knowledge. His process is not merely a blending of these two traditions but an interrogation of their fundamental assumptions, values, and practices. This compels him to explore his immediate environment, where he collects found objects, often overlooked in conventional music-making, and investigates their inherent sonic potential.
His method of intuitive tuning involves listening closely to each object’s natural resonances, avoiding preconceptions based on
tempered scales or formalized gamelan structures. In doing so, Mo’ong allows these objects to emerge as sonic entities in their own right, free from the constraints of traditional musical syntax.
RANGKĄ is an ongoing sonic-sparks between Ariel William Orah and J“Moong” Santoso Pribadi. They blend various sound techniques and artistic strategies—from self-made instruments to diverse electronics and synthesis cosmos, from live improvisation to structured pieces—all fueled by their diasporic-dialogue on seeing and valuing things.
