The same band memeber of Banter 4, Japlang was a new resolution to provide a more regional sounding band name evoking the South East Asian expression of all inclusiveness. Roughly sounding like Chapalang which meant "mixed-up" in Berhasa.
This
session was curated by Alex Tseng who set the parameters of structure of
music making. Exploring the concepts of human geography, musicians were
to play their own incarnation of whatever instruments they chose. Each
instruments were adjusted into a non standard situation for example
drums sticks were made of a bunch of plastic restrains and guitars were
intentionally not tuned. There were no fixed rhythm patterns and each
musician were to make sense of at least what they insist of doing and
played based on intuition or not.
The resultant sound of each piece gave a form and imagery of a place made up of multiple factors (musicians) imposed upon one another. Each musician acted either like a geographical feature ( mountains, rivers, sea) or be a culture of people. The mash up grows a new sonic creature.
