Gradually Change Tempo in FL Studio
Bagaimana membuat perubahan tempo yang gradual di FL Studio
Bukalah proyek baru dan tentukan temponya.
Pada settingan standard tempo berada di 130 bpm /// Open a new project and set the tempo.
In the standard setting the tempo is 130 bpm
klik kanan pada tempo /// Right click on the tempo
create automation clip
Pada track yang kosong akan muncul automation clip /// The automation clip will appear in an empty track in the playlist
Ubah point pertama dari clip automation ini. Pada settingan standard
jika diturunkan ke angka nol maka temponya menjadi 60 bpm /// Change the first point of this automation clip. In the standard setting (130bpm), if you set the point to zero, then the tempo will change to 60 bpm
Anda dapat mengubah setingan point di awal atau akhir clip sesuai yang diinginkan /// You can change the setting point at the beginning or end of the clip
Anda juga dapat membuat poin baru di tengah clip.
klik kanan di sembarang tempat ditengah clip automation ini.
setelah poin muncul, ubahlah sesuai kebutuhan /// You can also create a new point in the clip.
right click on any place in the middle of this automation clip.
A new point created, change as needed.
Perubahan tempo sangatlah penting untuk membuat komposisi menjadi lebih dinamis, namun perubahan ini hanya berpengaruh pada pattern. Jika terdapat audio file atau audio data (wave atau mp3) di dalam playlist maka akan terjadi perubahan pitch pada audio tersebut. Jika anda ingin memasukan data audio maka settinglah dulu perubahan tempo yang diinginkan, setelah itu rekam audio tersebut sesuai dengan tempo disepanjang komposisi /// The changing tempo is very important to make a more dynamic composition. Note, in FL Studio, only pattern can follow the changes of the tempo, if there are audio file or audio data (wave or mp3) in the playlist, there will be changes in the pitch of the audio. If you want to use audio data, simply recorded them in the playlist after you have set the desired tempo changes.

Creating Music; Words Displacement for Mwathirika Performance
Musik sebagai pengganti kata-kata untuk pertunjukan Mwathirika (Papermoon Puppet Theater)
Without dialogue does not mean there is no language at all, in this case the music is placed as a guardian of the story. Mwathirika actually is an idea about the history of losses of Indonesia in 1965's. Many films and readings have resulted from this history, followed by its rumors, version and controversy. Mwathirika try to dig up what many people have heard and feared in a simple, personal and intimate story /// Tanpa dialog bukan berarti tidak ada bahasa yang disampaikan, dalam hal ini musik ditempatkan sebagai penjaga cerita. Mwathirika sebenarnya adalah sebuah gagasan tentang sejarah kehilangan, di Indonesia tahun 1965-an. Banyak film dan bacaan telah dihasilkan dari sejarah ini, diikuti oleh beragam rumor, versi dan kontroversinya. Mwathirika mencoba menggali kembali apa yang telah banyak orang dengar dan takuti dalam bentuk cerita personal yang sederhana dan intim.
The haunting and terrifying history has given the musical idea about vague dreams and distant world. As reality, until now the history is always told in particular doubt, suspicion, and anxiety. Mwathirika story presented in an atmosphere and a situation like those /// Sejarah yang menghantui dan mencekam tersebut telah memberi ide musikal tentang mimpi yang samar dan dunia yang jauh dan gelap. Sebagaimana kenyataannya. sejarah hitam Indonesia tersebut hingga saat ini selalu disampaikan dengan penuh keraguan, kecurigaan, kekwatiran dan kecemasan tertentu. Dalam suasana dan situasi seperti itulah cerita Mwathirika disajikan.
Mwathirika also means victims in Swahili language and the puppeteer use Japan's kuruma ningyo technique, represent a more universal. Stories like this certainly also happen in other parts of the world, not just in Indonesia /// Mwathirika juga berarti korban dalam bahasa Swahili, mewakili dunia yang lebih universal, tak bernama dan tak tersebutkan. Cerita seperti ini pasti pernah terjadi di belahan dunia yang lain, tidak hanya di Indonesia
Besides the ambient and floating element, some traditional toys are used to add the dynamics of the performance. Mwathirika actually a puppet theater full of games, the support of organic sounds from the toy will enrich the performance. Most compositions using found object sound; a variety of wood or metal sounds, such as beverage cans, rod iron pipes, kentongan (percussion from bamboo), bamboo sticks, bicycle spokes, and a few toys like a tik tok, orok orok and erek erek /// Selain element musik yang menghayutkan tersebut, beberapa mainan anak tradisional digunakan untuk menambah dinamika pertunjukan. Mwathirika sebenarnya adalah teater boneka yang penuh permainan, dukungan suara-suara organik dari mainan tersebut akan memperkaya pertunjukan ini. Sebagian besar komposisi menggunakan beragam suara logam dan kayu, seperti kaleng minuman, batang pipa besi, kentongan, batang bambu, jari-jari sepeda, dan beberapa mainan anak seperti tik tok, orok orok dan erek erek.
Tik Tok Kayu
Orok - Orok (Usually to generate Frog's sound)
Erek - Erek

The tricky part is how to play music throughout the show. Certain tempo, timing lag and a smooth transition is crucial matters. Concentration is needed. Synchronization is done not by the machine, but by the feeling and the connectivity between performers (lighting, video and puppet player) /// Bagian tersulit adalah bagaimana memainkan musik tersebut di sepanjang pertunjukan. Tempo tertentu, timing jeda dan transisi yang halus adalah hal-hal yang krusial. Konsentrasi sangat dibutuhkan. Sinkronisasi dilakukan tidak dengan mesin, tetapi dengan rasa dan koneksivitas antar pemain (lighting, video and pemain boneka).

The basic idea is to create a contemporary shadow puppets performance that can be an imaginary of social phenomenon today so that we create puppets character that combine the figures of real human and a sense of fantasies. The stage itself maintains the nature of traditional shadow puppet performance with light, screen and shadow as the main elements. The music represents a fresh approach towards the way contemporary electronic music using traditional songs and musical pattern as the source of sound.

No communication is a state where speaking is not followed by listening. Violence, however is considered a very powerful controlling mechanism when one feels the necessity to be obeyed. This show calls itself contemporary puppet show, combining shadow puppets, kethoprak, slapstick comedy and dangdut.

Penggunaan delay dan reverb di beberapa bagian menambah kedalaman samples. Mimpi Robot RetroTubuh Ketiga; Creating Music based on Dangdut Pantura Part 1
Representing the third reality (culture / tradition) in Indonesia into the music is actually quite difficult and challenging. Maybe because I'am Indonesian who want to convey the idea of identity. The identity has long been attached to the self. Subjective observation and the tends to pull the exoticism are often comes up here /// Merepresentasikan kenyataan ketiga (budaya/tradisi) di Indonesia ke dalam musik adalah hal yang sebenarnya cukup sulit dan menantang. Mungkin karena saya adalah orang Indonesia yang hendak menyampaikan ide tentang identitas. Identitas yang telah lama melekat pada diri. Pengamatan yang cenderung subyektif dan tarikan besar eksotisme sering kali muncul disini. Jika saya mau merepresentasi begitu saja apa yang ada di Indonesia, tentu itu hal yang mudah dan tidak menantang.
There are two methods in representating the cultures/traditions: first is the work that becomes a conservation effort of culture/tradition, the second is an attempt to upgrade the culture/tradition in order to catch up with technological developments/modernity. The second method is a hybrid reality: an attempt to mix culture/tradition with western culture or current technological developments. Then the diverse genre of this hybrid phenomenon rises; Tarling (stand for guitar and suling), Dangdut Pantura, Dangdut Koplo, Dangdut Remix (Dangdut mixed with some 80's electronic element) and others /// Ada dua metode representasi budaya/tradisi; pertama adalah bahwa karya menjadi semacam konservasi atas budaya/tradisi, yang kedua adalah suatu usaha untuk meng-upgrade budaya/tradisi tersebut seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi (membuat musik remix, elektone dan lain sebagainya). Metode kedua adalah sebuah kenyataan hibrid; sebuah usaha mempertemukan budaya/tradisi yang dimiliki dengan unsur barat atau perkembangan teknologi saat ini. Bermuncullah beragam aliran musik dari fenomena hibrid ini; tarling (gitar dan suling), dangdut pantura, dangdut koplo, dangdut remix dan lain lain.
The Third Body performance takes Dangdut Pantura (Pantura means the northern coast of Java) as the starting point to see the third reality in Indonesia. Dangdut pantura represent the in between situation, to be or not to be, in the middle of it, half traditional and half modern, the hybrid, the reflection of our reality /// Lebih spesifik, pertunjukan Tubuh Ketiga mengambil dangdut pantura (pantai utara Jawa) sebagai kacamata untuk melihat kenyataan ketiga di Indonesia. Dangdut pantura mewakili sebuah kenyataan yang pecah; sebuah proses yang nanggung antara menjadi tradisional atau modern, ia adalah cermin atas kenyataan kita.
Frankly, though the Dangdut Pantura is the part of in Indonesian culture, but I can feel the distant. I am not an observer or a practitioner in this dangdut art. I used to think this is the kind of cheap music, maybe some people still consider it so. I also felt strange and awkward in any musical progression in the music, even i actually have the knowledge that all of it, is just the development of the traditional elements. Maybe I sense dangdut Pantura as something exotic/bizarre. In my music reference, Dangdut Pantura is an unique music and it would be hard to find anything like this anywhere in the world /// Terus terang meskipun dangdut pantura adalah produk indonesia saya tetap merasa berjarak. Saya bukan pemerhati ataupun seorang praktisi dalam kesenian tersebut. Dahulu saya menganggap musik musik hibrid semacam ini adalah sesuatu yang murahan, mungkin sebagian orang Indonesiapun masih mengganggapnya demikian. Posisi saya adalah seperti seorang asing yang hendak memberi label/genre pada koleksi. Saya pun merasa asing dan janggal pada setiap progresi musik didalam musik tersebut, walaupun sudah memiliki pengetahuan bahwa sebenarnya itu adalah pengembangan dari unsur-unsur tradisional. Mungkin saya melihat Dangdut Pantura sebagai sesuatu yang eksotis, dalam referensi saya, selain unik, musik seperti ini akan sulit ditemukan di belahan dunia manapun.
