Here I am trying to remember and collect my discography, albums I ever recorded or involved in its production process. Not all, just some of them.
Around the year 95 or 96 I was invited by my friend, a songwriter named Pamungkas NM to help him play the guitar for some song in Anggun C Sasmi‘s album, with Teddy Sujaya on drum and several other guitarists such as Eet Sjahranie, Gideon Tengker, Mpay and the keyboardist Andy Ayunir, etc. This is my first time recording in a real studio. The studio where the recording took place is Musica Studio, one of the biggest studio and record label in Indonesia. This really was my first experience of recording and work together with many great Indonesian musician in Jakarta.
The second album I ever recorded was an album of a rock group called Bunga, which titled Üntukmu Galang, I play as an additional guitarist in the band and play most lead guitar part on the album. Recorded at 1998. The band Bunga was contracted under the same record label as my other band Panhead, who was in the process of recording as well. Bunga was released first and then followed Panhead released in the same year.
Panhead is my first recording band in 98-99 years, This is the most idealistic and craziest band I have ever made. Wirh me on guitar, Mickey Nasution on vocals, Dono on bass and Ketter on the drums, We record some crazy funky metal music mixed with rap lirycs, we have a great producer Ali Akbar who always supporting every crazy idea we had. With the assistance of legendary sound engineer Harry Widodo, finally this album was born. Containing of 14 idealistic songs, and there is one song called Jamhead that has about 15 minutes length and there is also an alien language song titled Kurmandhani Simanalahur.
I forgot the year, about 99 or 2000s, at that time, Roxx was one of the greatest rock band in Indonesia who play big role in Indonesian rock music history. One day there was a live event of Gitar Klinik at Jimbani Cafe. When I doing ceksound for the gig, some of Roxx personnel came and offered me a job to play guitar for Roxx. Initially only to help them play in some of their gig. Finally followed-up with an album recording called Bergema Lagi
This is the second time I participate on Guitar Clinic compilation, at that time there was my song called The Aladin Factor which is scheduled to release on a Duo Guitar album of me Dd Crow and my fellow guitarist Andry Frenzy., One day on the studio, we play that song and Krishna Sadrach (Gitar Klinik producer) loves the song and he want that song to be on th next Gitar Klinik album, and finally for the second time me and Andry Frenzy participated in the second album of Gitar Klinik compilation series.
During that time above, I already record a lot of guitar solo tracks, at that time I don’t have a plan to release them as an album, just for my own hearing. Then some friend give me suggestions to release a solo guitar album. And with help of them, finnaly a collection of my guitar solo was released on an album called Dd Crow ‘The Happiness Project’ in 2008. This album is available at iTunes now
Around 2009-2010, me and my wife Austin Utammy who was still my girlfriend at that time released a Duo album called Rubik. This is a unique pop duo that most songs written by Austin Utammy and arranged by me. Rubik was taken as the dou’s name because we’re both love to play Rubik’s cube and we were a national Rubik’s cube champion. We love the name Rubik because it represent of the duo’s music flavor which r is unique and colorful. This album is titled A Beautiful Story and is available on iTunes now
Roxx released an album in 2012. Jauh Dari Tuhan. the process of creating and recording this album took so long time. And many things that happen disrupting the process of the creation of this album, but Finally in 2012, on Roxx 28th birthday. we finished it and released it to the public.
