In 'Redam' (Mute), Eben's genre influence is felt at the beginning of the song but afterwards, the song decelerates to a much slower pace.Īnother remarkable song in the album, entitled 'Issue', comes from a collaboration with Stevi. In a song entitled 'Pesanku' (My Message), Eben, a metal musician, uses a surprising ensemble of traditional Javanese keroncong tunes delivered at a slow pace, almost like a lullaby. Other producers, such as Eben, however, have produced tunes that are entirely different from their previous works. Gugun, for instance, leaves a signature blues influence on songs entitled 'Hangus' (Scorched) and 'Meski Kau Tak Ingin' (Even If You Don't Want To). Some clearly bear the influence of their producer's musical genre, while others are surprisingly different, completely deviating from the expected style. We wanted to do something that we hadn't done before.'Įach coproducer produced two songs for the album. 'We wanted to push our limits, to challenge ourselves to interpret works from other genres. 'This album is like a chemical compound of our music with other genres,' Fadly said during a sneak preview of the upcoming album in Jakarta on Wednesday evening. The coproducers working with Musikimia on the album, as yet untitled, include Gugun from blues band Gugun Blues Shelter, Eben from thrash metal band Burgerkill, producer and bassist Bondan Prakoso, jazz guitarist and musical director Nikita Dompas and guitarist Stevi Item from death metal band Deadsquad.įadly said that the work truly represented the band's name, a portmanteau of the words musik (music) and kimia (chemistry). The album, set to be launched in January 2016, was coproduced by five musicians with different musical styles, pointing, perhaps, to why it contains such an eclectic mixture of songs. Musikimia was set up in 2012 as a side project by million-copy-selling pop rock band Padi's vocalist Andi Fadly Arifuddin, drummer Surendro 'Yoyo' Prasetyo, bassist Rindra Risyanto Noor and renowned sound sound engineer-turned-guitarist Stephan Santoso. An upcoming debut album from rock band Musikimia promises an interesting mix of multilayered music styles, colors and sounds.
