Hery Kristian Buana Tanjung
Biography	Hery Kristian Buana Tanjung (*1989), also known as Hery Glenn, is a composer from Samarinda, Indonesia. In his pursuit of musical experimentation, he delves into the realm of environmental sounds. Yet, his passion for minimal music has recently steered his attention towards electroacoustic compositions. In February 2023, he teamed up with the ensemble mosaik in Berlin to create and record his piece titled «Krompunk Grompunk» for a mixed ensemble. Buana Tanjung completed his master's degree in Art at the Yogyakarta Art Institute, majoring in Music Composition under the guidance of Royke B. Koapaha and Memet Chairul Slamet. He learned Composition with Michael Asmara, Gatot Danar Sulistiyanto, Toni Maryana, and Patrick Gunawan Hartono and has attended several workshops from composers such as Roderik De Man, Slamet Abdul Sjukur, Vincent McDermott, Dieter Mack and Otto Sidharta. He also collaborated with choreographers and directors, such as Ángela Vela Hernández (Spain) and Angel Salvatore (Philippines). In 2019, he founded the Kovajiva Mobile Studio together with his wife, the choreographer Valentina Ambarwati. ABOUT Hery Kristian Buana Tanjung: «Bor(N)eo» Bor(N)eo is an electroacoustic musical work that focuses on processing the sound of stagen looms. Processing of this material is done by recording the sound of weaving which is carried out by several weavers together. Then the recording is processed using a computer device. Here I process the sound material using Ableton and for some additions I use Max Msp to adjust the frequency and tempo randomly. In processing material, I also use a midi controller to adjust the frequency and produce timbre directly. In this work I imagine how the sound of the forest in Kalimantan will develop into a synthetic sound and when the sound of the forest is completely gone, we can only hear it through recordings. So from the word Bor(N)eo is a forest in Kalimantan (Kalimantan) and denotes that there will be a Birth that renews the previous birth. This process is what I call Bor(N)eo.
