Do You Remember Jogjakarta?

1992
Kaye Mortley
"The work began as fragmentary notes, impressions, sensations, jotted down during a trip to Indonesia: Jogjakarta via Djakarta. Notes born of a growing sense of frustration because I did not have a microphone to catch the strangeness, the sensuality of the sounds, beguiling on all sides." (Mortley) Do You Remember Jogjakarta? is a work of extraordinary subtlety and stimulating complexity. Its text, original music by American composer Tom Johnson, and occasional ambient sounds are a poetic tribute to Indonesia as well as a reflection on sound as a language unto itself: "There are no words for sound, only similes." (from the work) Produced for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
