About Floating Forest

Floating Forest is an experimental jazz project exploring broken beats, fusion textures, and open improvisation. Formed by four musicians from distinct corners of Indonesia’s music scene, the band brings together jazz language, rhythmic experimentation, and cross-genre sensibilities.

Fronting the project is Jascha Benny, a guitar-singer known for his soulful melodic approach rooted in R&B and contemporary music, adding emotional nuance and guitar texture to the band’s sound. Brandon Julio Aartsen anchors the music on bass, drawing from his background in the jazz circuit with a fluid, responsive approach to groove and harmony.

On drums is Krishna “Kainhaya” Kanhaiya Dasa, a highly accomplished drummer who began performing internationally at a young age, including work with Batuan Ethnic Fusion and Jazz Muda Indonesia, appearing at major festivals such as Java Jazz. Completing the ensemble is Palel Atmoko on percussion, widely known from Balinese rock band Navicula, bringing raw energy, layered rhythms, and an alternative edge.

Together, Floating Forest creates a sound that is exploratory, rhythmic, and constantly evolving.
