[Manic Monday] Menyokong Pencipta Lagu Dan Penerbit Musik Dengan Teknologi

Salah satu bagian terpenting – dan seringkali tak diketahui umum – dari industri musik adalah pencipta lagu dan penerbit musik. Yang seringkali tampak di layar kaca maupun konser-konser besar adalah para musisi dan artis, padahal sebenarnya belum tentu lagu yang mereka nyanyikan adalah ciptaan mereka. Memang banyak juga artis dan musisi menulis lagu-lagunya sendiri, tapi banyak juga yang menuliskan lagu untuk orang lain, fokus untuk menciptakan lagu saja dan bukan untuk menjadi entertainer. Ada pula, anggota sebuah band yang piawai menciptakan lagu, sehingga ia menciptakan lagu untuk dinyanyikan orang lain juga.

[Manic Monday] Supporting Songwriters and Music Publishers With Technology

One of the most important – and often not known by the public – parts of the music industry are the songwriters and the music publishers. Artistes and musicians often appear at big concerts and TV, when in fact the songs they sing may not be their creation. Of course, there are many artistes and musicians who write their own songs, but there are also many who write songs for others, focusing on writing songs and not becoming an entertainer. There are also others, say, like a member of a band, who also write songs for other artists.

[Manic Monday] Teknologi Di Balik Lomba Lari

Belakangan ini, Indonesia seperti diserbu oleh tren lari. Lari seolah-olah menjadi ‘hal baru untuk keren’ yang diikuti, meski juga tidak sedikit yang sebenarnya senang akan olahraga ini, dan pastinya tren ini dampaknya jauh lebih bagus ke masyarakat secara umum ketimbang tren, misalnya, makan di restoran cepat saji atau menghabiskan waktu di waralaba 24 jam serba ada, karena tren ini mengadvokasi hidup sehat.

With the growth of digital media like the internet, the variety of content or entertainment technologies has also increased. In a period of around 10 years, the cellular phone has evolved from a simple communication device into one of the main entertainment devices, to the point that the technology advancement of cellular phones is outpacing the PC industry. Any kind of entertainment is only a few clicks away, through browsers or applications.

[Manic Monday] What You Can Learn From Krayola

This time I want to tell you a little bit about myself – more specifically my experiences several years ago, as part of a band called Krayola. Krayola is a band that actually has been around for a while in Jakarta’s music scene, and once often played at various high school events. Because all of its members had jobs, the development of the band itself was somewhat slow – a quite standard tale in Indonesia’s music industry.
