Anak Borneo Universe

Songs became characters. A bar became a city. Step inside the Anak Borneo Universe, where animal masks shape everyday life and three musical chapters—LOOP, PAST and SEED—trace a journey through routine, memory and belonging.

Behind the drunken cheer of Drunkard’s Song lies a story of helplessness, escape and finding one’s way back. I share how its music, collaborators and ABU visuals shaped Evan Tesat’s journey.

After fourteen years of doing almost everything myself, I reflect on self-reliance, collaboration, and opening ABU to more creative voices.

Anak Borneo is more than my music project. It is a growing world of songs, characters, places and performances—carrying Borneo into whatever comes next.
