(Awan in SoundCloud)

 

Let’s talk in bahasa Indonesia.

Before we continue, I want to sum up a little bit about the story of this song. The song tells you a story about hopes and dreams.

Let’s begin.

{Demo} The Opposite Gender

(The Opposite Gender on SoundCloud) 

I remember when I was writing this song, I had this idea of creating an anthem song. A song that you can sing along when you’re feeling happy, a song that you can sing along to lift yourself from depression and a song that you can sing along even if you can’t sing. The premise is there but, can I execute that? Let’s hear the song.

{DEMO} Dumb

This is basically a way of me to sum up everything I feel when I hate somebody. You can tell by the lyric that this song is about anger. The song it self is my interpretation of a song by Bryan Adams – Cloud Number 9.

IRL, I never this mad with somebody, I guess I’m such a nice guy. I create this song to channel all the anger toward somebody and basically it become my anger management.

The music: I remember several years ago, I had a tough about making a dance song with electronic sound all over the place, and then all the sudden I made this song into song that have very fast beat like all the dance song.

If you didn’t know, I’m also avid gamer. So, in this song’s music, I incorporate 8 bit sounds from old games such as Alien Invader and some generic 8 bit sound. I also use double drum to make the song more like dance song.

The Voice: In this song, some how I manage to make my voice clear to listen and doesn’t have many pitchy note. Overall, I like my voice in this song, maybe because the song itself have very simple note, with no so many high or low note.

{BLOG} Introducing The Tools

You must be wondering (no?), how do I made my own music? Frankly, I have zero expertise in playing music instruments. How ever, I can play very simple note on keyboard, and without proper key or even chord.

Take a Peek on My Unreleased Work

This is how LMMS (Linux Multimedia System) comes handy. LMMS is a tools for creating music, it have piano roll, loop track, sound font support , etc etc. You might never heard this apps, but basically it have the same feature like any other music creation apps such as fruityloop and GarageBand, but it comes free of charge. The catch is, you had to install it on Linux (or windows, but it will crash a lot), hence the name it self.

What do I do in this apps? Basically, I put simple note  in it and I loop it, and then I put simple drum beat in it and I loop it, and so on and so on. Somehow, magically, it transforms into full band music, although the sound is a little bit electronic.

The Hero

Beside LMMS, the hero of my music is an apps called ZynAddSubFx that basically the basic sounds of my music and also a collection of sound loop in a format called soundfont. That’s all, as simple as that.

{DEMO} Ragu

This is a song about hesitation and how you can handle it. Well, have you ever feel like you are not the right one for her/him? Then this song is about it. Several year ago, one of my friend have this hesitation right before his wedding, a hesitation that every other man or woman had right before their big day. It’s a common problem.

I dedicate this song to my friend, because this is his story*. At the moment of his, I know he is going to be fine. And now everything just end up to be fine. Again, this song tell the story about it and how we can resolve the problem by saying everything just going to be fine (I guess). Just be positive :P .

{DEMO} Yang Terlupakan

Yang Terlupakan on SoundCloud

Recently, I realized that since 2008 I usually write at least 1 very sad – very heart broken – very miserably song each year. One of the song, that I wrote in 2009, is one of my favorite song. The song called “Yang Terlupakan”.

The story behind this song is based on my real life story that I exaggerate and become a not so standard broken heart story. If you can read the lyric, that I wrote in bahasa Indonesia, you can tell that this song is about a man that fall in love with a girl but the the girl didn’t love him back. The girl herself have tendency to hate the man, she even looks down to the man.

At the end the girl passed away as the man himself began to hate her for what her do to him is unbearable. Somehow the man still loved the girl, but the love itself had been overpowered by the hate that he had for her.

{ART} Yay, another new look

Yay! I’ve been working this website theme since few month ago, and finally, although still look uncompleted but, I’ve finish the basic look and feel of this website.

{DEMO} Liar

visit: Soundcloud page

This is my first published song, I name it “Liar”. This songs is about someone that always been ignored by people that he always try to be nice with. At the end he had enough with them always treat him bad. And also, you might find that I’m not a good singer, so yeah :D .

At first, I didn’t realize this song had a catchy tune until a friend of mine suddenly humming this song when he was on a bus, he had listen this song several days before. This song have very short lyrics, consisting interlude, verse, chorus and bridge. It also have very short melodic in each part of the song, that’s why it only 3 minutes long.

{ART} The Album Art

A Growing Bleeding Heart

While making our demo album, we also had to make the album art. First, we had to dig what the stories behind all the songs of this demo album. We decide that the main story of this album is broken heart and madness. Also there is a sentance on one of our song in this demo album that can represent the whole album, the sentence is “Can you tell me why my broken heart is growing fast but it’s bleeding no?”. We though the line is catchy but at the same times, it’s too long. So we create new sentence using that sentence. That’s why we name our demo album “A Growing Bleeding Heart”.

While wondering picture/art should we put in the album art, we found out that “Bleeding Heart” is actually a flower name. From there we decide to draw something about heart and plant on our album art, at the end we drew a tree inside a bleeding heart, you might not see it on the final art because we add tear apart paper to add grunge feeling to the album art. So there you go, a little bit story about our album art.
