Jazz, experimental, and contemporary music
For the finale of its 2021 series, Alur Bunyi will hold its very first hybrid offline-online concert format. GoetheHaus Jakarta will welcome a live audience with limited seating due to the pandemic.
Alur Bunyi will focus on alternative practices in sonic creation when interacting with jazz.
Paronomasia is the result of a collaboration between Nesia Ardi and Indra Perkasa. The musicians explore sonic phrases, offering imaginative and diverse yet playful interpretations that still reflect today’s reality. In addition to Indra Perkasa’s reputation as a jazz musician, he dips into electronic music and explores new composition techniques using various instruments. For Indra, the blend of two musical disciplines lends a freshness to his work that challenges his listeners’ imagination.
Nesia Ardi is a multi-talented musician. Her experience in Indonesia’s jazz and pop ecosystem as a performer, teacher and arranger makes her highly adaptable in any musical situation.
This collaboration treats the audience to Nesia Ardi’s vocal prowess interacting and blending with the sounds of Indra Perkasa’s set up to create a one-of-a-kind musical piece.
