This is one of my fav songs by Dream Theater. The percussion sounds are really “soul-consuming” that makes me want to hear over and over again. I tried to simplify it with a guitar-okulele and did a one-track live recording using my usual android app (that lately now becomes not-responding so often). It’s a different spirit, but I like it when apparently I played it in almost the same bitrate and key note. Voila! Why don’t I try to mix? My pitch was not that good, it was my first voice in the Sunday morning, but I like how it resulted later.

Inilah akibatnya kalau ngidam pengen nonton konser nggak kesampean. Senar sumbang pun tetap maju jaya. Oye!

One of my dreams is to ‘acoustify’ classic rock songs. So here I keep making it again even if it’s ‘unpitched’ =P

My student
10 years ago. My dad got home from an excursion. I saw him got off a car outside. Me: who drove you home? Dad: my student
Yesterday. I got back home from a field trip. Similar situation. Dad: who’s that? (pointing at a car that outside) Me: my student.
Ah well, fruits always fall nearby the tree.

If I could… If I could…
At the beginning of this year I made a statement; if there’s a certainty that my salary raise will be much better for the following year as well as additional projects that increase my monthly income, I will buy the mega-expensive Dream Theater concert ticket in Jakarta.
If I could… If I could…
But the reality is…
No more parking facility that I need, I got to drive 70kms everyday, and the gas costs much higher than expected. I’m in a phase of bankruptcy! Haha!
And this one is the worst: I am WORKING todayyyy!!!!
Afterward, I was stoned, and still I am. I thought I wouldn’t give up things that truly come from the heart for anything. But if I were asked why I come to Saturday work, I would say that it’s because it’s a must, and I’m paid for that. Now one more time I am stoned. How cheap! But I know this is a temporary path I have to take with all of those paper assignments, accreditation documents, and nothing to draw or sing. Two years from now, it should be paperwork for project contract and details only. *sigh*
I know I could… I know I could… another day…

“So come and get me
Let me
Get in that sinking feeling
That says my heart is on an all time low
So - Don’t expect me
To behave perfectly
And wear that sunny smile
My guess is I’m in for a cloudy and overcast
Don’t try and stop me
‘Cos I’m heading for that stormy weather soon”
Truly melancholy! He even plans when he wants to be melancholic!
Or maybe he’s just like me, acting out like a melancholy just for fun…ato supaya ga diusik2 orang lain. Hmmm…quite manipulative.

I literally read “colorful” as “white” yesterday. And my last night dream was the 4th dream in a row about Arts Exhibition! I guessed my brain was overloaded with projects. Oh, boy… I was expecting for another “my chemical romance”.
I wish I could set my eyes to summer break. But since it is still April, many short coffee breaks are what I exactly need.
Robusta, anyone?

Long weekend stuffs. Don’t think I can play them. I do wish I could, but they’re not mine. Fiddling and strumming, I can only tune them.

After Bali, last Saturday I together with my friend Selvi went for coffee. At first it was purely a coffee time, but we were both drawn into the mood of a nostalgy. So we continued exploring the Dutch heritage left in this hometown. It was refreshing. Selvi said it was a productive Saturday. OMG, I couldn’t believe she mentioned the word ‘productive’ on that ‘holy-day’, hahaha! Anyways, we both enjoyed it. And now I think I’m experiencing a post-traveling syndrome. These feet feel like going everywhere. Barcelona, wait for me!

Kali ini, saya mau dedikasikan hasil rekaman ini buat salah satu teman kerja saya yang sudah sukses ‘menyentil’ saya untuk …… (peeep!). Gitar yang biasa saya pakai sudah diset dengan setelan berbeda karena saya lagi ‘ngulik’ satu lagu, jadi saya paksa si klasik kopong buat klasikrokan. Dengan suara alakadarnya, direkam sekali klik tombol - eh dua kali ding, start & stop - yang sumbang pun ikut disumbangkan, suara burung di belakang juga ikut masuk. Beginilah hasilnya.
Ayayayayay, I don’t have any cigarette and I don’t smoke, but I raised a martini glass and played the game. By the end, saya sukses terbangun oleh matahari. Baca: I woke up super-late!

What does PIC stand for? It stands for “Pendengar In Charge”
Jadilah pepatah anjing menggonggong, kafilah berlalu. Tapi kata seniman, “Anjing menggonggong, berkarya selalu”
Hidup seniman! OYE!
