DIDIN MARLIN

About Didin Marlin

My name is Hijruddin Marlin, also known as Didin Marlin. I was born and raised in Kassi Tinambung village, Pangkep Regency, South Sulawesi. Growing up, I was deeply connected to nature. The sounds of water, forests, and everyday rhythms were not separate from life, but part of how I learned to understand the world.

Magismaja becomes the initial project and gateway in my artistic practice, developed from a creative approach rooted in the rhythmic knowledge of Makassar, Bugis, Mandar, and Toraja traditions. Through this project, I begin to build a working method that positions tradition as a foundation, while opening possibilities for new works to emerge from this sonic knowledge.
