Riddles of a Marigold
No stranger to the Radio Seribatu stations, KOMODO and VOLCANO is ANDREAS ARIANTO @andreasarianto, a composer, musician and producer that works across a whole range of genres.
Favoured by KOMODO listeners as a member of the electro dance-inspired HOTEL DEATHSTAR @hoteldeathstar, Andreas recently scored the cinematic instrumental track “Riddles of A Marigold”. The work is based on a playful piano improvisation that was inspired by the decision to leave home in Jakarta and dive into to adventure and mystery of living in Bali full time.
Being a creative powerhouse working across many genres, Andreas has also seized the opportunity to extend the original “Riddles of A Marigold” instrumental composition into a new work with collaborators.
Reney Karamoy and Stella Gareth from the phenomenal Jakarta based duo, SCALLER @scaller_id have reinterpreted the instrumental, and ATHRON @athronmusic – an Australian songwriter, based in Bali has contributed lyrics. The result is the derivative track “Riddles”.
The lyrics explore mixed feelings on internet marketing, NFTs, cryptocurrency and the Metaverse. Andreas thought, "What better way to describe a feeling against the tech than to use a vocoder to sing the lyrics?". He adds "I have learned about some people who fell victim to digital scams and fraud. I also saw how easy it is to manufacture fake information as news and how it was used to tear countries apart. And all that is the big theme we all have been familiar with in the early 21st century."
Katie @katkills is featuring the complete creative project including the airing of the original instrumental work “Riddles of A Marigold” as well as the reinterpretation “Riddles” in her KOMODO shifts next week.
And…. Jongo @jonathangoehr joins the fun the following week when “Riddles” gets the Jongo Bump as he features the track as one of his “Jongo Personal Favourites”.
