Hello Microphone: Cerita Perjalanan Panjang untuk Merilis EP "Katarsis"
Photo doc. Hello Microphone
Subang adalah tempat kelahiran Hello Microphone pada tahun 2011. Saat ini, formasi tetap band ini terdiri dari Gesta di posisi vokal dan gitar, Senjaya di posisi bass, dan Thom Gallagher di posisi drum. Mereka memilih warna musik mereka sebagai pop underground, dan Bali menjadi rumah mereka untuk tumbuh dan berkembang dalam proses berkarya mereka.
Perjalanan mereka selama 12 tahun bermain musik akhirnya membuahkan hasil yang cukup melelahkan. Prosesnya penuh drama standar, dan banyak lika-liku kehidupan yang mereka alami untuk bisa melanjutkan konsistensi dalam berkarya. Akhirnya, mereka melahirkan sebuah cerita perjalanan yang begitu kompleks yang mereka beri judul "Katarsis". Lagu "Mari Menari, Mari Berlupa" menjadi jembatan mereka untuk memberanikan diri merilis Extended Play (EP) dan menjadi daftarnya dalam EP ini.

Unsur-unsur dalam materi ini merupakan gabungan dari berbagai elemen jenis musik yang akhirnya menjadi satu kesatuan. Intensitas diskusi, menentukan sebuah konsep, dan vibrasi yang diambil menuai topik yang intim setiap saat. Band ini dengan mahir menggabungkan berbagai elemen musik yang berbeda, termasuk referensi dari genre musik yang beragam seperti kecintaan Thomson pada Radiohead, ketertarikan Senjaya pada musik Jepang, dan preferensi Gesta pada musik indie. "EP ini adalah penggabungan beberapa referensi seperti Thomson suka sama Radiohead, Senjaya suka musik Jepang, dan saya dari indies. Maka, EP ini keluar aja gitu, bahwa inilah Hello Microphone," ungkap Gesta.

EP ini berisi empat lagu di dalamnya, termasuk "Mari Menari, Mari Berlupa" yang menjadi urutan pertama dalam daftar EP mereka. Lagu ini sudah dirilis via digital musik yang dikeluarkan oleh SYL Records. Lagu ini berawal dari kekhawatiran kehidupan ketika sudah beranjak dewasa dengan segala permasalahannya. Semua prosesnya pernah kita alami sebagai manusia normal. Kehidupan kita sebagai makhluk sosial adalah suatu keputusan apa yang kita inginkan. Untuk itu, mari kita rehat sejenak, mari menari, mari berlupa!
Berikutnya pada urutan kedua dalam EP ini adalah "Katarsis". Lagu ini menceritakan sebuah dilema problematika yang dekat dengan kehidupan. Namun, situasi tersebut tidak bisa dipungkiri akan menjadi suatu landasan pemikiran yang berkonotasi negatif. Suatu buah pikiran yang dianggap sebagai hal yang tidak semestinya dipikirkan sepenuhnya. Solusi yang diambil adalah melesakannya dan terus melangkah untuk mendapatkan hasil yang diinginkan demi kelangsungan hidup yang lebih baik.
Pada urutan selanjutnya, Hello Microphone memberi judul "Sendu Sembilu". Ini adalah penghormatan dan duka cita atas peristiwa yang menimbulkan banyak korban saat tragedi 97-98 di Indonesia. Peristiwa sejarah Indonesia yang tidak bisa dan jangan sampai dilupakan untuk mengenang suatu perlawanan terhadap perilaku tirani.
Selanjutnya pada titik terakhir EP ini kami berjudul "Awan". Mengisahkan tentang keromantisan seorang bapak dan anaknya didalam aktivitas komunikatif. Perbincangan intim untuk mengasah imaji kreatif. Bukan hanya literasi, hal imajinatif menjadi sebuah penyeimbang didalam perjalanan empiris.
"Proses perjalanan panjang Hello Microphone yang akhirnya mengeluarkan sebuah karya ini untuk dilepas aja. Dan tidak ada visi misi yang signifikan, hehehe. Intinya album yang dirilis ini adalah simbol kelegaan emosional setelah mengalami ketegangan dan pertikaian batin akibat suatu lakuan dramatis dalam proses bermusik", ungkap Gesta.
Berkarya di industri musik memang tidak pernah mudah, dan hal itu benar-benar terbukti pada perjalanan EP terbaru dari Hello Microphone ini. Sepanjang proses produksinya, kendala dan drama-drama terus menghampiri band ini. Namun, mereka tidak menyerah begitu saja dan terus berjuang hingga menghasilkan sebuah karya yang sangat ciamik dan layak untuk didengarkan oleh para penggemar musik di seluruh Indonesia.
Dengan adanya EP ini, diharapkan menjadi sebuah awal yang baik bagi Hello Microphone untuk terus menghasilkan karya-karya kreatif dan inspiratif yang mampu meramaikan skena musik Indonesia. Tak hanya itu, EP “Katarsis” ini juga akan dirilis secara masif secara digital, sehingga bisa dinikmati oleh siapa saja dan di mana saja.

lemonade mouth/band au! more notes under the cut
lemonade as in like the disney movie! so there are a couple like clear comparisons but mostly it's the bad kids get stuck in detention together except they form a band instead of an adventuring party
fabian > no equivalent (olivia vibes)
the most popular kid at school who is both in dance and on the football team. somehow gets decent grades as well. no close friends, but a lot of people who know him and want to get on his good side. kind of depressed, and his dad's currently in prison. he started playing the guitar as a way to show off and then genuinely started enjoying it
adaine > mo
she's a concert violist (playing the viola) always an accompaniment for her sister and is striking it out on her own for the first time. her family is very upset about this, and consistently puts her down so she'll go along with they want her to do. also she recently transitioned to going to public school for the first time, making her the new girl.
kristen > no equivalent
she's recently ex mormon, got out of her parents house (currently living in her car) and without all of her former friends stuck in a student president position that she got when she was still with the religion. questioning her sexuality after one too many encounters with the soccer team captain, tracker. used to be on the church choir, was a bit too enthusiastic about it.
gorgug > no equivalent (charlie vibes)
he's got like one or two kinda friends (mainly fig). extremely busy with his classes and with marching band and self isolating as a result. he's stressed out about living up to his parent's name (they run a very successful electric engineering company). signed up to work as a sound tech for the theatre department bc one of the female stage managers is very cute (zelda) and then discovered that he rlly like it.
riz > no equivalent
no friends! (other than maybe the AV club + penny) too used to burying himself in work at both his part time gig and with his insane amount of extracurriculars. started playing the piano bc he heard it helps with memory retention and overall cognitive ability.
fig > stella/wen
she's the cool loner skater kid who is the floater friend mostly? she's got a maybe relationship with ayda, who she loves to annoy at the school library. very interested in making her own music not very interested in school. freaking out over her parents getting remarried. her mom enrolled her in music lessons when she was younger, and it's one of the only things she can talk about with her mom these days.

as far as im concerned they are all both these things simultaneously Also some other misc Emeritus brother thoughts: I like to think deep down in my heart that the other three knew Copia was their sibling immediately. Like his special bloodline eye isn't exactly hidden and while Nihil is stupid, they aren't. Copia assumes his dynamic with them is just being close by coincidence when its just actually a sibling thing Also like we know they all bickered a lot. There is hostility here. But I think deep down for each of them its that whole family dynamic where only they can push each others buttons. Some random clergy member calls Copia a bad name and they are found later getting beat up by Terzo in the ministry parking lot. Terzo denies it later I love them so much actually you guys. Disaster cult family

Shaggydog Gambarkan Pulang Kampung Melalui Video Musik Lagu Mudik
Dalam beberapa hari ini sebagian besar dari kita mungkin disibukkan dengan aktivitas mudik. Pulang kampung untuk bertemu keluarga sudah menjadi tradisi turun temurun masyarakat Indonesia tanpa memandang agama, bukan hanya yang merayakan Idul Fitri saja.
Tanggal 16 April lalu Shaggydog merilis single Mudik yang diharapkan bisa menjadi soundtrack pulang kampung, mengiringi momen yang ditunggu-tunggu para perantau. Single yang diciptakan oleh Heruwa ini terdengar lebih merakyat sebagai soundtrack mudik yang cocok disetel ketika menyusuri jalanan menuju kampung halaman. Pun ketika bertemu hangatnya lebaran bersama keluarga.
Penggalan lirik “pulang kampung, hatiku bahagia. Sekian lama, akhirnya berjumpa” juga suasana lebaran ketika berjumpa dengan keluarga dan saling bermaaf – maafan seperti “di meja ada opor ketupat, nyuwun ngapunten menawi wonten lepat” cocok berpadu dengan rancak-nya nuansa khas musik Shaggydog. Momen inilah yang mengilhami Shaggydog untuk mendeskripsikannya ke dalam sebuah bentuk music video (MV).
Shaggydog kembali menggaet Bagus Tikus untuk menggambarkan suasana lebaran di lagu Mudik mereka. Sutradara yang pernah menggarap Shaggydog - Di Sayidan MV ini mengedepankan nuansa putih cerah yang menyelimuti atmosfer video Mudik. “Di video klip ini sebenarnya saya ingin menampilkan realita, yang dekat dengan hal yang kita alami selama lebaran, mulai dari sungkeman, menu makanan, kebiasaan berkumpul keluarga, memberikan amplop bagi keponakan hingga bagaimana kita selalu dihadapkan oleh pertanyaan tentang jodoh oleh kerabat dekat” ungkap Bagus mengenai konsep MV ini.
Berawal dari scene dimana sang anak masih sibuk mengurusi deadline pekerjaan sementara hari sudah menjelang lebaran. Saking capeknya si anak tertidur di meja kerja dan bermimpi tentang pulang kampung bertemu orang tua-nya.
Diperankan oleh kakak beradik Richad dan Teddy Bernado sebagai bapak dan anak, tema lebaran bertemu keluarga di MV ini juga diselipkan beberapa unsur komedi. Semua itu ditampilkan secara nyata dengan beberapa pendekatan komedi, karena dianggap sesuai dengan lagunya yang riang dan fun. Video musik ini pun menampilkan anak – anak dari member Shaggydog yang menambah unsur kekeluargaan yang erat.
youtube
Sementara itu untuk scene perform, Bagus mengajak Shaggydog untuk tampil cukup kontras dari keseharian mereka di panggung, berbaju koko putih dan melakukan gerakan seolah-olah sedang bermain hadroh / marawis. Serunya ini diamini oleh player yang membuktikan luwesnya shaggydog untuk selalu mengikuti zaman.

Thank you all for voting in the poll to decide who was going to be the leader of the band! It turned out to be such a close race!
#poorly drawn mdzs#better drawn mdzs#mdzs#madam lan#A-qing#Band AU#(Reminder that Madam Lan's design inspiration goes to Qourmet!)#Madam Lan may have been the winner per vote count but there were so many strong advocates for A-Qing!#I played around with a few versions of what the 'poll winner' art was going to be and ultimately decided I wanted them both.#As any good theater love knows though - The battle for leadership was a ruse. They *all* get a chance to be featured.#Cooperation was the real end goal! However I do think these two have the best frontman energy of the group.#Or at least 'crowd favourite' energy. I also really loved hearing what people thought their vocal styles would be like!#This was probably one of my favourite polls to do and I love drawing these characters a lot B*)#I'd love to spend a bit more time in this AU so count on me bringing it back.#One thing I keep feeling like I need to redeem myself on is Madam Lan's Translucent skirt. I have *not* done the concept justice yet.#It is such a crack-platonic ship but I want to think Madam Lan and A-Qing would enjoy each other's company.#Possibly also with JYL as well. They can be like mutually beneficial therapy dogs to each other.#Madam Lan never got to see her kids grow up into teenagers after all. She only had sons. Never daughters.#Even if she saw her kids once a month we do know she treated them with so much love and kindness.#She would bite the shit out of YZY for yelling at JYL. What a sight to see. A-Qing would also start biting (for fun).

10 April 1945 Dick wrote to DeEtta:
In his letter to DeEtta on the 16th September 1945 Dick apparently knew plenty about love, especially about being lovesick:
In his letters he wrote between April and Sept, Dick suddenly started talking a lot about Nix. At one point claiming how untrustworthy Nix is off duty. He also kept gently urging DeEtta to go find and marry someone.
#lighthearted fun#not to be taken seriously#band of brothers#dick winters#lewis nixon#i just thought it was quite funny how suddenly nix started featuring so heavily in dick's letters#he either almost never mentioned nix before or of he did then these letters are not included in this book#(i suspect these were detailed descriptions of nix)#and quite entertaining how dick was advising deetta on the marriage front. one almost got the sense that#the sooner she marries someone the better#Hang Tough: The WWII Letters and Artifacts of Major Dick Winters
