The return of Tone List’s long-dormant DIY performance residency series is made possible in partnership with new studio space and gallery _____g.s.
This performance residency series is about offering a musician an opportunity to “sharpen the sword” and test experimental ideas through back-to-back nightly concerts. This is a rarity in Boorloo, where experimental gigs are still relatively infrequent. But it’s essential to some experimental music practices, which thrive on the energy brought by an audience.
Tone list is pleased to host Raras Sukardi for their first redux of this series. In recent years Raras has been determinedly researching freeform musics throughout Asia by travelling and collaborating. She usually works with suling, clarinet, tubes, noise & feedback.
Raras Sukardi (she/her) is an Indonesian-born, Australian-raised clarinettist, actively exploring improvised and experimental music. Her Indonesian heritage shapes her identity, creating a deep sense of belonging and natural connection towards Indonesian culture, people, and land. This connection inspires her artistic journey, driving her to explore the interrelationship between art, nature, and spiritual energy. Currently engaged in clarinet teaching, Raras continually seeks to learn new techniques and broaden her community to deepen her artistic practice.
