Extreme metal meets traditional Indonesian music. In the hands of Rinuwat – Karina Utomo, Rama Parwata and Mike Deslandes – the result is reptilian, haunting and epic.

Utomo and Deslandes are best known to metal fans as members of Melbourne band High Tension, electrifying stages at Download and Dark Mofo. Working with Gamelan instruments, Rinuwat combines an orchestra of sounds likely to be unfamiliar to most metal fans.

Each member peers at a set of graduations on their instruments - Utomo’s voice is as piercingly frightening as it is poetic, Parwata blends the chimes and rhythms of gamelan with extreme drumming, and Deslandes rampaging guitar shifts between walls of noise and droning assaults.

Rinuwat are joined by Los Angeles based artist Robert Takahashi Crouch. His work, which dwells in intense and sustained explorations of queer sound fields, is re-cast for this performance. Crouch presents a new work which expands his electronic walls of sound, weaving in acoustic instruments and creating a dense merging of sonics.

This is a 'Pay What You Wish' performance. 

Presented by Brisbane Powerhouse
