This Week’s Curator: Utara Mata X Tanaman Liar X Pakcik

Utara Mata

“When the world around me goes dark, I was shown to listen to the guidance of sound vibrations.

Sound to me is a doorway to life, a way to remember all that is — and that this mortal existence with all of its complexities are all worthwhile.

It’s how I navigate my inner landscapes, a way to express what cannot be said through language or semantics. To bring forward what has been silenced and what wants to be seen however bright, however dark.”

— Utara Mata

Utara Mata finds inspiration in the unexpected — wild nature, ancient myths, dreamscapes, and the uncomfortable mundanity of the everyday. She weaves soundscapes, percussive details, old-world chants, and siren-like vocals that melt into lyrics and spoken poetry.

Beyond the stage, she is the voice of @muara.watersounds, offering therapeutic journeys through water, sound, and movement. She also sings devotional songs with the female Sufi Qawwali ensemble @ilahi.qawwali, bridging the mystical and the earthly with her voice.

TANAMANLIAR

Tanaman Liar is a plant sonic ambient unit based in Ubud, Bali. Formed in Ubud as an alter ego project of Suy, a member of the underrated post-ethnic experimental band Nayyamul, the project blends plant-generated music with contemporary and traditional instruments to create immersive soundscapes.

Using plant music devices, Tanaman Liar translates the bioelectrical signals of tropical Indonesian plants into meditative sound journeys. Their music explores frequencies, vibrations, and healing properties of sound, bridging nature and human consciousness. Their performances are an audio-ritual experience, merging organic plant tones with experimental and traditional Indonesian elements.

All music emerges from silence, to which sooner or later it must return." Yet silence itself is a sound—a sacred space where rhythm is born and returns. These are the resonant realms Pakcik.

With dynamic, percussive beats infused with worldly rhythms and electronic textures, Pakcik weaves a musical mythology that transcends boundaries. His sound bridges the primal and the progressive, inviting you to connect with your roots while expanding into uncharted territories.

Through his sets, Pakcik takes you on a journey that is raw, intelligent, and brimming with heart. His ethnic influences and intuitive playfulness open a sonic scape that challenges your edges, only to draw you back into a dance that is grounded, soulful, and unforgettable.
