About this person
Slamet Abdul Sjukur was the founding father of contemporary Indonesian music. He studied and worked in Paris under Olivier Messiaen and Henri Dutilleux. He was a lecturer at IKJ but due to his unconventional ideas, he eventually had to leave. He lives in Jakarta, and Surabaya as a freelance composer, teacher, and music critic. Sjukur developed the idea of minimax in music, with his compositions notable for their minimal constellation of sounds and numerological basis, indicating his interest in a new "ecology of music". This concept views limitations not as obstructions but as challenges to work with simple material, maximally.
