Baséput

Baséput is <a href="spotify:artist:08NN3pMi2eH5QAscndxd7V" data-name="Rayhan Sudrajat">Rayhan Sudrajat</a> modular synthesizers music about the indigenous voices and instruments from around the world, especially Indonesia.

As an ethnomusicologist, Baséput has travelled to a few places in Indonesia and came across beautiful music that performed in both secular and religious ceremonies. He has recorded most of them with professional recorder, preamps, and microphones to capture the best sound quality of the music. But still, to hear their voices and sounds directly on the field are the best thing to experience their alluring music. The other important thing is to comprehend the meaning and functions of their voices and sound in particular ceremony which of course can be understood by looking out the context.

With that, Baséput’s idea is to link between the voices and instruments of the indigenous people and the modular synthesizer to create a new form of experience in the modular world. By the style of electroacoustic music, the samples in modular are also can be pre-recorded or also played live by the traditional instruments, then processed by the modular synthesizer.

To sum up, Baséput hopes to connect between the legacies and the messages of the ancestors from the past in the futuristic modern world.
