Nursalim Yadi Anugerah is a composer and multi-instrumentalist, whose works focus on sonic experimentation through cultural practice, knowledge, and cosmology of indigenous people and their activism related to entanglements of social-cultural and environmental issue in Kalimantan (Borneo). His work contains echoes of various styles—Kalimantan indigenous music and symbols, the Indonesian underground noise scene, ritualistic chants, and European avant-garde compositions—all unified under his political project: a critique of ecological devastation and the question of survival. Through his works, Nursalim also offers a rich critique by highlighting the junction between ecology, technology, and decolonization; a path amidst the impasse between theoretical academic discourse and the urgency of Kalimantan’s environmental catastrophe.

His works have been staged in some concert and festival such as International Young Composers Meeting 2018 (The Netherlands), Gaudeamus Muziekweek  2018 (The Netherlands), AsiaTOPA 2020 (Melbourne, Australia), Holland Festival 2021, Amsterdam (The Netherlands). In 2021-2022, he is awarded by Prince Claus Mentorship Award for Cultural and Artists Response to Environmental Change by Prince Claus Foundation and Goethe Institut. Currently he is a JACK-Studio Artist in Residence for JACK Quartet (US).
