Indonesia's Senyawa have made a name for themselves over the past 10 years with their minimalist blend of experimental-industrial and electronic sound explorations. The duo's sound is centred around Rully Shabara's expert vocal explorations, punctuating the frantic sounds of instrument builder Wukir Suryadi's modern-primitive instrumentation.

For the Ideal Bar concert, the show will be performed as Senyawa - X feat. Xhabarabot. Xhabarabot Voice Machines are digital interfaces that generate Rully Shabara's synthetic voice, which can be used to perform improvisation live.

It's a special set that presents Senyawa in a different version, as a collaboration between the organic and the synthetic. A set that can be performed without Rully Shabara and/or Wukir Suryadi. Wukir Suryadi is therefore alone on stage for the concert in Ideal Bar.

Senyawa X establishes a direct connection between human interaction, the raw materials of nature and the digital world. It provokes reflection on man's role in nature and our digital extensions; a tangible expression of how we amplify our natural abilities through technology.

Senyawa has performed all over the world. Venues such as Primavera Festival in Barcelona and smaller venues such as Café Oto in London have been visited by the Indonesian duo. The band has collaborated and performed with many recognised music profiles such as Stephen O`Malley, Robert AA Lowe, Otomo Yosihide, Rabih Beaini, Damo Suzuki, Justin Vernon, Oren Ambarchi.
