I grew up listening to a lot of music, from The Beatles to Metallica, and from Alan Menken’s classical Disney film scoring to Indonesian traditional folk composition. Music has always been my passion, and being born into a family that dedicates their life to music is something that I consider a privilege. In 1998, I started to experiment with guitar effects and found out more of what one can do with sounds. Thus, it was the first time I was exposed to sound design, and since then I never look back. I consider my work as “Sonic Collage” because some people say that it is deep, complex and full of layers, resulting in an emotional journey that lives beyond conventional artistic mediums.

I have been involved in various projects ranging from being a music producer, guitar player, and programmer in my own band. Focusing on exploring myself as a sound artist, I have worked on various projects, ranging from independent experiment shows as well as big projects for commercial purposes. For instance, I have done sound design for theater productions, film scoring, gallery exhibitions, and fashion runway, yet I am also experienced in commercial productions and live multimedia projects for big corporations. My works on sound have been exhibited in Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Tokyo, and San Francisco.

In the past three years, I  have picked up travel photography as a hobby and tried to incorporate it in my creative process, as I attempt to stimulate myself and my audience both visually and auditorily. I surprised myself (and my friends) by getting my amateurish travel photography exhibited in Surabaya and Berlin, as well as featured in National Geographic Traveller Indonesia (in collaboration with my wife, a writer). In other words, my works share how my travel photography inspires my music, and that process —in itself— is a personal and emotional artistic journey.

Fluid moods, squiffy grooves and cosmic jams. Relaxed electronics, archival vibrations and the odd ceiling-slapper. Leisureware makes excellent selections for the curious among you. He also runs The Occasional Feel-Good and hosts monthly shows on Soho Radio and Noods Radio.

RAH’s foray into electronic music started on the dance floor, where she would work up a sweat raving to drum&bass. The nascent nightlife of Singapore in early '00 was her training ground, it was the peak of when intimate guerilla popup parties were thrown with careless abandon. She started DJing with D&B and hip-hop for fun at house parties and open deck sessions, which progressed to proper gigs at clubs locally and worldwide (still for fun).

RAH has since played at international festivals, venues, and radio stations, with notable gigs at Dimensions Festival (HR), Wonderfruit Festival (TH), Worldwide FM (UK), Potatohead Beach Bar (IND), Red Bull Music Radio (NY), Radio Raheem (IT), and Operator Radio (NL),
Her sound is ever-evolving (a result of growing up as a manic 90s kid on Napster/ Limewire) as she constantly digs for fresh sounds old and new, partial to the likes of Jazz, Hip-Hop, Funk, Soul, and Bass, Afro, Brazilian, Asian rare grooves, and anything that takes her back to that special, liberating moment on the dance floor.
