Aldo Ahmad, aka Sipaningkah, reforges the traditions of West Sumatra, using industrial electronic sounds alongside drones and percussion from traditional and newly invented instruments, channeling a spirituality informed as much by transborder crossings as his own roots in Minangkabau culture. “Nan Tongga” features the Tasauf, an instrument he created for a performance at a music festival in Tokyo in 2019, fusing the tasa drum, talempong kettle gong, and rabab darek to represent three core elements of Minangkabau philosophy while fitting within airline luggage weight requirements. In form and in concept, “Nan Tongga” expresses the idea of oneness and balance between perceived dichotomies: body and spirit, tradition and modernity. Indeed, even the core traditional instruments that he uses are themselves representative of the interconnectedness of the Islamic and archipelagic Southeast Asian musical cultures. Other tracks demonstrate the friction amidst these connections. “Maharam” shows off the pupuik soroang, a large horn made from PVC meant to imitate the sound of an elephant, while “Dantuang” is similarly intense, its noisy combination of serunai reed flute with metallic screeches and kick drums meant to evoke the incessant bombings of Gaza by Israel. While the record’s title, Lagkah Suruik, translates to “step back,” a core element of Silat Harimau martial arts philosophy, it’s important to recognize that this is not a call for inaction; instead, Sipaningkah seems to be calling for a reevaluation of the role of music, tradition, and spirituality in a world that continues engaging in violence.
