SENYAWA – Calling the new Gods

The film “Calling The New Gods”, by Vincent Moon, is the document of musicians Rully Shabara & Wukir Suryadi of the group Senyawa playing & being filmed on location, outside, tracing a path from the outskirts of Yogyakarta, Java (on the border of a rice field, on the edge of a garbage dump, etc.) until the center of the city (in the middle of a market, in a fair).

In a sort of mandala, of centripetal spiral, during an entire day, from dawn until dusk, the film – with soundscapes shared between the music of Senyawa and field recordings – captures the powerful, unique & fascinating presence of the Indonesian duo in the middle of the physical landscapes and human mosaic that helped create it.
