Jerzy Mączyński + J. „MO’ONG” SANTOSO PRIBADI AV w/ video by Katarzyna Dębska (PL/ID)
The first live collaboration and presentation of a new composition.
An immersive AV set merging experimental electronics with raw acoustic matter. The project bridges saxophone deconstruction and electronics (Jerzy Mączyński) with the industrial textures of self-built instruments (J Mo’ong Santoso Pribadi). It unfolds as a tension-driven dialogue between digital synthesis and organic acoustic detail. The visual layer (Katarzyna Dębska), built from distorted 3D forms, intertwines with the sonic density to create a dreamlike experience—fragile, uncanny, haunting, and intensely visceral.

Saxophonist, composer, and producer.
Jerzy Mączyński began his career in free jazz and contemporary jazz, and after several years of creative exploration, he gradually transitioned into electronic music, blending different musical approaches to develop his own unique musical language.
He is a graduate of Berklee College of Music (Production concentration) and Syddansk Musikkonservatorium.
In 2025, he released his debut album as a producer and sound designer. The track ’nomore.’ from this album was featured as the opening composition for Hermes’ catwalk during Paris Fashion Week.
In 2023, he released Universal Harmonies and Frequencies – Tune IN, a collaboration with Jamal Moss, also known as Hieroglyphic Being. The album marked a significant milestone in his artistic development and received very positive reviews, being highlighted in publications such as The Quietus, The Wire, CRACK Magazine, Mojo, Financial Times, and many others. Additionally, it was ranked among the top 10 albums of 2023 by CRACK Magazine.
Earlier, in 2021, he released the album Jerry & The Pelican System – Sariani in collaboration with Wacław Zimpel, drawing inspiration from his concert tours and travels in India. In 2019, he debuted as a bandleader with his quintet in the prestigious Polish Jazz series in Poland. This album features experimental jazz compositions, referencing major Polish jazz figures like Komeda and Stańko, while exploring the combination of diverse musical styles into a cohesive mosaic.
Mączyński’s work also extends to numerous theater, film, and audiovisual projects, where he develops his acoustic ideas alongside electronic productions.
Throughout his career, he has presented his projects on many national and international stages and festivals, including Unsound, Silent Green Berlin, BLA Oslo, Dekmantel Festival, Accidental Meetings Bristol, Moth Club, London Jazz Festival, South Explorer Rotterdam, Off Festival, Kantine am Berghain, Jazz Jantar, NCPA Mumbai Experimental Stage, and many others.
“Mo’ong” Santoso Pribadi is an experimental music composer and instrument builder born in Bangkok, raised in Java, Indonesia, and currently based in Vilnius, Lithuania. His practice centers on decolonial approaches to sound, seeking to reconnect with and reinterpret the sonic histories of the Indonesian Archipelago while reshaping them within contemporary contexts. Rather than rejecting tradition, Mo’ong engages in an ongoing dialogue with it, allowing inherited memories, gestures, and rhythms to be questioned, reimagined, and embodied anew.
Working across experimental music, performance, and sound art, Mo’ong collaborates extensively with modern dance, theater, contemporary puppet theater, installation art, and performance art. Since 2015, his Limbah Berbunyi project has focused on composing music from found objects and waste materials, followed by the Sound-Making Objects project, which further explores the hidden resonances and sonic agency of unconventional materials.
Mo’ong’s recent solo work marks a quiet turning inward after years of collaborative projects such as Raja Kirik his experimental duo with Yennu Ariendra exploring contested historical narratives from the Dutch occupation of Indonesia and Takkak Takkak, a cross-cultural collaboration with Shigeru Ishihara (DJ Scotch Egg). In his solo practice, sound becomes a bodily and intuitive process: listening closely to how memory, environment, and material interact within him.
Each composition emerges from encounters with found objects gathered from his surroundings. These materials are not forced into familiar tuning systems; instead, Mo’ong follows their natural unfolding. Track titles arise as onomatopoeic responses to the sounds themselves—sonic imprints that carry the memory of each object’s voice into the music. Through careful listening, these objects reveal their own tonal worlds and quiet agency.
The result is music that feels both ancient and new, grounded yet untethered. Across his work as a composer, performer, and sound designer—including contributions to independent films—Mo’ong creates spaces where memory and experimentation coexist, allowing sound to remain porous, unconfined, and alive.
