【title】
A world so rotten it became hostile and uninhabitable—a place they no longer want to live in. Or destroy.Or change.Or all of it at the same time.
The decaying world has become hostile, uninhabitable, and no longer desirable. Or destroyed, or transformed, or all at once.
This book and cassette tape set, limited to 400 copies, was released to coincide with the release of Dongker's debut album, "Ceriwis Necis." Copyright/ Reserved is the publisher, with MM Ridho as copy editor. The relationship between power and unbalanced personal space is a central theme Dongker explores throughout his albums. Rather than being harsh, this set offers subtle jabs, allowing each song to reveal different narrative ideas. The unpretentious, easy-going book and the analog texture of the cassette tapes allow for a deeper immersion in Dongker's world. Neither flashy nor overly complex, this set features a diverse range of interpretations and perspectives that complement the vibrant pop-punk music of Dongker's latest album: lighthearted, arrogant, chaotic, hilarious, sometimes gory, sometimes spiteful, and sometimes moving.
Dongker's debut album, titled “Ceriwis Necis,” is released in the form of a book carving format, accompanied by cassettes from their respective releases. This collaboration involves Copyright/ Reserved as the publisher and MM Ridho as the copy editor.
The main theme explored in this album is the relationship between power and imbalanced personal space. This is not conveyed harshly; various narrative ideas emerge in each song with subtle jabs that recur.
The book will be nonchalant and easy to digest. Nothing too fancy; not trying too hard to get. Lurid, insolent, disorderly, funny, sometimes gross, sometimes mean and occasionally touching, since it's featuring diverse interpretations and perspectives that complement the vibrant pop-punk music from Dongker's latest album.
