Cita Seni: Sonic Spaces and Sonic Seas features The Its, an independent Singapore-based alternative rock trio consisting of composer and producer Harith Redzuan, vocalist and gamelan musician Rose Mainy and guitarist Rudy Swandi. Flirting with atypical song structures, the group strives to create songs with an alternative / experimental / ambient approach while retaining the pristine nature of varying traditional musical styles.
Influenced by both Eastern and Western rock music, the group adopts an explorative approach to making music. Heavily inspired by the neighbouring Nusantara region, the group draws many of its musical and aesthetic influences from the traditions and cultures found there.
