The return of our 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.

We're pleased to host Raras Sukardi for our 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. We don't know what she'll do for these shows yet. Come find out with us (:

_____g.s's gallery space is very small, and these performance are deliberately low pressure & micro-scale. You need to book in advance to attend.

About Raras:

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.

Accessibility:

The performances are held in a very small space which will likely feel crowded. Limited seating is available. Lighting may be dim. Performances may be very loud at times. The space is wheelchair accessible via the courtyard entrance, although the wheelchair accessible bathroom on-site is being serviced at the time of writing. Please feel free to write to info@tonelist.com.au if you have any accessibility concerns.
