SetList: Music is in a good place right now. Even with the vast array of genres and sub-genres artists continue to explore the possibilities of new sonic landscapes, and with the multitude of musicians that are dedicated to their craft there is no shortage of diverse and original music produced. With such a rich pool of musical talents it was only right W_Music began a live segment featuring some of the finest musicians performing the music that make them so unique. Setlist is a video performance program by Whiteboard Journal that is inspired by shows such as the Peel Sessions where bands exhibit their material in a controlled environment, giving a recording that is as special as the place and time the music was in concert.

Swimming Elephants: The Jakarta-based band Swimming Elephants, a group of young people formed by Rizki Yogaswara (vocals, guitars, keyboards), Gilar Di Aria (keyboards, guitars, percussions), Wisnu Anditta (drums, percussions, vocals), Saras Juwono (vocals, keyboard, recorder), Aprillia DH (keyboards, glockenspiels. percussions) and Ranggi Mukti (bass). Finding their name after watching The Fall by Tarsem Singh, Swimming Elephants' music reflect the members love for film as their brand of pop-folk is cinematic with arrangements that often snowball into dramatic parts, vocal harmonies that swell, Rizki Yogaswara's voice soaring over the music, and lyrics that convey stories of longing and nostalgia. Whiteboard Journal had the pleasure of having Swimming Elephants perform their songs at W_Space, our gallery in Kemang, showing us (and you, of course) why they are a group that deserve your attention. Enjoy!
