hara – Ati Bolong – Single

hara is Rara Sekar’s solo project, a new space for her to experiment with various mediums done with a spirit of collaboration.

In hara’s first single, “Ati Bolong”, hara performs and rearranges a Javanese song by the well-known Tegal-born grass puppeteer (wayang suket), the late Ki Slamet Gundono. Ati Bolong is a song that tells about the purity of a child’s perspective of the world and how it connects one’s microcosmic with one’s macrocosmic awareness. hara interprets this song into a composition that builds upon a minimalist piano arrangement, piercing vocal layers that echoes far, magical soundscapes and a roar of transcendental electric guitar ambience. This first single is produced by Rara Sekar Larasati herself with Febrian Mohammad (Seruak Studio).

“Rara Sekar has amassed a ton of fans via her past releases as part of Banda Neira or Daramuda among many others. hara though, is different. It is atmospheric, it combines a lot of sounds. Sonically speaking, this is as daring as Rara Sekar can be over the course of her career so far”
