Home » Power of Prog : Dwiki Dharmawan – Anagnorisis Is Now Available To Purchase

Anagnorisis, the latest in Dwiki Dharmawan’s series of widely varied and impeccably crafted albums for MoonJune Records, might well be the most fully realized expression yet of his expansive musical vision. While deeply grounded in the sophisticated melodic and rhythmic intricacies of his land of origin, where he’s long been celebrated for his work bridging serious and popular realms, Dharmawan also looks beyond his native traditions for inspiration, joining with players from disparate cultures to blend the best of their respective worlds into a meta-music of depth, beauty, and vitality that transcends mere collage.

Anagnorisis – “recognition” in Greek – is a superb case in point, and indeed is emblematic of the governing MoonJune ethos, bringing the Indonesian master together with eminent Israeli-born saxophonist and writer Gilad Atzmon (The Orient Hosue Ensemble, Robert Wyatt, Pink Floyd) and a quartet of simpatico Greek musicians (Kimon Karoutzos, Harris Lambrakis, Vironas Ntolas, and Nikos Sidirokastritis) on a program of Dharmawan originals and improvisations, with production assistance from a German, an Italian, and a Dane, overseen by the globetrotting Mr. MoonJune aka Leonardo Pavkovic himself. Yet for all the diversity of its participants’ backgrounds, the resulting union never feels forced, instead reflecting an inherent mutual trust and deep respect for one another as both people and musicians.

Dwiki Dharmawan is one the most accomplished pianists, keyboardists, arrangers, producers, cultural workers in his native Indonesia, and he has performed in over 60 countries on all continents. Anagnorisis is his 5^th international release on MoonJune Records after Hari Ketiga (2020), Rumah Batu (2018), Pasar Klewer (2016), So Far So Close (2015). He has recorded and performed among others, with Jimmy Haslip, Chad Wackerman, Dewa Budjana, Walfredo Reyes, Steve Thornton, Carles Benavent, Nguyen Le, Gilad Atzmon, Asaf Sirkis, Nicolas Meier, Yaron Stavi, Boris Savoldelli, Markus Reuter, Jerry Goodman and many others. He is co-leading one of the commercially most successful bands in Indonesia, Krakatau, since 1984.
