PvC - Jam Karet

“Jam Karet” is Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian language) meaning “Elastic Time” (or “Rubber Hours”). It is used for all ‘time waiting patiently or expected, rather than wasted’. It definitely also makes life easier: if you have an appointment at 9pm, jam karet and arrive at 9.30 pm, you are still not too late. The concept of Jam Karet can also be applied to mixes including ambient and drone fragments, where the listener gets immersed in sound in such a way that all notion of time is lost; where music could last for minutes, or for hours. With that idea in the back of my mind, I started working on this mix. The result is a collage with samples from a lot of different sources – ambient music, early electronic music experiments, field recordings and fragments or ‘acousmatic’ music – mixed together to (hopefully) make you lose track of time.
