WHAT IS THE EKSPERIMENT?
The Elisha Tiga Eksperiment (ETX) is a jazz collective spearheaded by
Elisha Tiga; a music producer, composer, arranger, educator and instrumentalist from the island of Borneo.
ETX focuses on placing jazz in a different limelight borne from the desire to bring the pure essence of jazz as not just as a genre but a culture in itself to their listeners as many has missed the mark to what defines the genre.
ROOTS AND IDENTITY
Jazz is influenced by changes and the lives that each musicians go through. ETX pays homage by bringing in different talents from across all walks of life with varying artistic upbringing be it hip-hop, RnB, traditional indigenous music, underground post-rock and electronic music. This in turn makes ETX a melting pot of ideas and sonic colors, using jazz as a common anchor.
ETX began through exploring jazz inspirations coming from the roaring 20s all the way up to modern contemporary interpretations of today; eventually stumbling upon the sounds of untapped ethnic roots of Borneo and their potential in the world of jazz compositions and performative mediums.
VISION
Beginning with exploring music from Northern Borneo such as from Sabah, Brunei and Northern Sarawak, Elisha envisions the collective to be a one of a kind proponent of disseminating traditional Borneon music through the technicality, intricacy and musicality of jazz.
Ultimately it is ETX’s goal to use their music to connect the new and the old; to create bridges between different cultures, different generations and listeners that come from different backgrounds across the world.
