A LOT TO SAY PODCAST

ALTS Projects

This is A LOT TO SAY Podcast - a conversation based project focussed on unconventional career paths and the projects that consume us. Focussed haphazardly somewhere between the creative, technology and culture realm - this is an excuse to create a conversation with people who give a damn about the world we live in, and hear some incredible stories of the experiences we accumulate. A LOT TO SAY is part of the ALTS Projects suite of stuff - curated and delivered by Garry Williams.

    Ep 29: SONIC DIVERSITY with Karina Utomo

    Karina Utomo is a well-known artist fronting bands such as the award winning High Tension, as well as emerging extreme musical projects Rinuwat and Kilat. Referencing her Indonesian heritage and connection to country and cultural identity, Karina explores what recent context has inspired her recent projects and intentions, alongside a number of collaborators she feels a special connection to, helping the creative process and expression. By disintegrating the voice and using abrasion as a tool, Karina dives into the experimental nature of her practice and the elements influencing, informing and defining her newer direction of vocal delivery as an instrument. From extreme metal to participation in Indonesian history symposiums alongside a collective of academics and artists, Karina references how culture plays an influential role in her everyday life.
