DETAK
Thirst for innovation and creative process triggers the dynamic development of art in the local and global scene. Just when the world flows into market demand, our self awareness start to explode manifesting into an act of cultural or traditional revival composed in a new form that is relevant to our time.
DETAK! is an art appreciation project that will take you upon a journey to embrace the senses, space and time where traditional components and modern day aspect meet to create cultural diversity in the form of sound, visual and performance.
DETAK! is part of a process where we are triggered as creative beings to rise and carve these moments with works that flourish from our hearts and conscience. Local artist as well as international artist involved in this project are unique in their own way with passion and love toward the art itself.
DETAK III RETAS
DETAK invites you to a concept music showcase #03 titled RETAS. As a concept, Retas brings the idea of re-creating culture within sound & performance in a new exciting form. This year Detak#03 will feature Filastine, contemporary duo hip-hop & bass artist with a Javanese twist. This event is also supported by local talents.
FILASTINE
Grey Filastine is the composer of a gritty electronic music that collides the lowest frequencies of bass music with the highest-level beat science, acoustic instruments and field recordings. His work often features Javanese indie rapper Nova and avant-garde cellist Brent Arnold. These two can frequently be seen onstage with Filastine at some of the nearly hundred gigs he performs in any year. Filastine also produces award-winning videos, designed a post-crash currency , and conducts public sound interventions. Before getting into digital arts he founded the prototype anarchist marching band the Infernal Noise Brigade. Filastine has lived in a dozen cities but is now firmly based in Barcelona.
This year Filastine dropped Aphasia “a quartet of deftly collaged cuts melding throbbing bass synths and richocheting 808s with concrete sound and live instruments” (The Wire). 2014 also sees Filastine debut 4rray, a four-sceen audiovisual performance using bespoke software that allows the artist to trigger and manipulate video live in sync with music.
Nova grew up singing pentecostal spirituals with her preacher grandfather, koranic recitations in the mosque, and javanese gamelan music in school. She was half of the Indonesian rap sensation Twin Sista, and has been collaborating with Filastine since 2010. When not on tour Nova can be found in Java giving workshops on art and environmental activism.
