Sukarno 1964
In my political outlook I am Nationalist
In my social outlook I am Socialist
But I'm not a Communist,
I'm not at all a satellite of any other ISM in the world
(Sukarno 1964)
A piece of shitty electronic music build around a Sukarno interview [(c) Gordon Skene sound collection].
I constructed the boring TR808-sounding drum machine track on a Roland JV-1000 (which has a so-so vintage Roland TR808 soundbank), with the synth bass & VCF ostinatos programmed on Arturia's Modular Moog VST plugin. The sound effects are a mixture of NI's Prophet 5 and filter sweeps played on a real Minimoog Model D. The orchestral sounds are samples of a 1964 Mellotron Mk II.
Not able to find the original recording of the 1963 'Mars Ganefo' (an epitome of Sukarno's anti-Imperialism policies), I had to reconstruct one by listening to an existing recording of the song recorded at the 1966 Ganefo in Phnom Penh - surprisingly available at one of King Norodom Sihanouk's websites.
The recording is closed by a snippet of 'Mari Bersuka Ria' (by Suara Bersama /'Mari bersuka Ria dengan Irama Lenso' - 1965), which includes lyrics written by Sukarno himself:
Indonesia anti-Nekolim (Indonesia is anti Neo-Colonialism/Imperialism)
Para seniman turut berdjuang (All artists join the struggle)
The 'Suara Bersama' album was digitized into mp3 from vinyl (owned by Pangulu Saat) by MILES productions for the film 'GIE' (thanks Mandy Marahimin).
