Jitr จิตร is a speculative imaginary electronics ensemble performative audio-visual using computer programming, non-western sound cultures, historical research, historical archive footage, and sounds, and generative visual art, aiming to reconcile the lost connection of Southeast Asia's shared heritage. The project is process-oriented to convey oral and aural histories, and it challenges the music technology rooted in the hegemony and dominance of Western sound. Western tuning is the definitive cause in our way of hearing and perceiving music, thus creating a bias toward Southeast Asian sounds heard as out of tune.
We were aiming to reconcile the lost connection of Southeast Asia's shared heritage. The core concept was inspired by crucial Thai activist, writer, and historian Jitr Poumisak(จิตร ภูมิศักดิ์), who was seen as a threat and killed by the Thai government in the 1960s.
