about

Proto Animalia Project is a groundbreaking collective that merges sound, visuals, and movement into a unique artistic experience. Led by Mahamboro as X0-101 (The Sonic Alchemist/Music), Byakta Babam as Nudibranchia (The Dreamforge Designer/costume designer and visual aesthetic), and Otniel Tasman as COLEXMAN (The Dance Sorcerer/Dancer), the trio blends electronic music, traditional Javanese sounds, surreal costumes, and contemporary dance. Their performances explore identity, culture, and the unknown, offering audiences a ritualistic journey through time and space, through their own imaginary mind. Proto Animalia Project challenges artistic boundaries, creating immersive experiences that redefine the future of performance art.

The EP "JAWIR" serves as a sonic critique of the stigma that often leads to feelings of inferiority and marginalization, especially among those who move to a big city. By reclaiming and deconstructing the term, Proto Animalia aims to raise awareness about the deeper social implications of such stereotypes, challenging listeners to reflect on the impact of language and cultural perceptions on minorities, alienation, stereotyping, and discrimination.

Ultimately, "JAWIR" is not just a musical release but a statement against the reinforcement of negative stereotypes, calling for a more nuanced and respectful understanding of cultural identity.

We are all different, so what?
