Yes No Klub presents the premiere concert of Sandikala Ensemble—an expanded gamelan unit exploring experimental techniques, new instrument-making, and unfamiliar possibilities within contemporary gamelan practice.
Sandikala has developed a range of new instruments, including four genders built around a 36-tone, non-octave tuning system. More recently, the ensemble has expanded its setup with instruments designed by Dion Nataraja: two gambang and two sets of gong kemodhong, crafted in Klaten by Karnadi Handoko and Siswo Pradangga.
Their recent work, Epitaph, released by
@yesnowavemusic, will be performed live for the first time in an intimate setting at Talujala Hub, a newly established multi-channel music venue.
Joining Sandikala are two respected acts, extending the evening into a shared space of listening, experimentation, and exchange:
Gatot Danar Sulistiyanto, a contemporary music composer and sound experts who will present his spatial sound works.
Mitch Elliott is a Sydney-based musician who uses a Lyra-8 and Ableton Live for sonic world-building. His forthcoming 2026 album is currently untitled but will be released in October, followed by a tour through Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan, China and Japan.

As a small-scale, independent initiative, we see everyone involved—organizers, space owners, performers, audiences, and supporters—not simply as participants, but as active agents within a shared ecosystem. Each contributes in their own way, materially and otherwise, to making events possible, sustainable, and meaningful for everyone involved.
