Stars and Rabbit

Elda Suryani and Didit Saad have been continuously sharing their journey over the last decade, originating from a cultural city in Central Java, off to write in Dutch cultural towns, savored the legendary music venue in the UK to Iceland’s most exquisite stage, and humbly experienced the traditional Japanese sacred stage. These have broadened their perspectives and senses of making music that really speaks out their distinct personalities. They become more aware of their own evolution and all they want is just to make music borderless. A field of limitless expressions called playground and it always brings them the purest of joy. It's going to be an exciting journey to follow the world they create.


Their recent EP, Far Away From Land (Inspired by ‘The Outlaw Ocean’ a book by Ian Urbina), expresses their thoughts about environmental and human rights concerns at sea globally. “If you really care about the ocean, Ian Urbina’s stories become so important,” Suryani said in their interview. “Five intense years of a dangerous journey, investigating with real time interviews, vividly illustrated as if you were there watching what humans are capable of doing far from land in the area of lawlessness. Learning about what happens at sea was horrendous and shocking. I knew straight away that it was a worthwhile project because it was calling my role as an artist to do something about it and be part of it, be part of keeping the issues noticeable,” Suryani said.
