Ambitious project by Woodworking Machine, in 3 years of making, she was exploring tons of different genre in music and put them inside her debut album, called Introductory: The Poems Of A Shapeshifter, mainly talking about personal struggle, love, and pain. The album opened by wild and dirty-opera-rock influenced track called Would You Meet Me Up There? talking about unrequited love and the story of the woman who is questioning and criticizing the world's norm about how women should perceive themselves in a certain way for the sake of satisfying male gaze, the album then closed by No Longer Cry Pt. 2: We Will Fly Away with the additional vocals and productions by the talented Indonesian independent artist, Jay Vicols, talking about self-acceptance. The album itself is conducted by three main writers, Riri P/K/A Woodworking Machine, Gafar Arsyil Munandar, and Ananda Dika which are very new to the concept of song production, but this project proves that they can push themselves outside the boundaries even more. This album tells the personal chaos, bitter truth, and injustice system of a nation, marking this project as an introduction of Woodworking Machine's concern of social issues in music scene. Even though she admits herself that this album is incohesive, but that's the main focus of this album, being a shapeshifter in a world full of chaos.
