rekamannya, jarang kisah awal mula berdirinya kelompok musik ini
diketahui.

Sejarah lahirnya Kantata Takwa (Bagian 1)
Kantata Takwa, so long story that I can write about the band. Because of that I had to divide the writing cantatas with version 1 - 2 -3 and then later. In this section I will only reveal the story of my introduction to the formation of an agreement mas Djody arts working group, which was eventually called Cantata Takwa.
Pada tahun 1989, saat itu saya sedang gencar melakukan promo tour bersama kelompok Godbless
bagi album kami yang bertajuk ”Semut Hitam”. Saat itu saya masih
tinggal di sebuah rumah (kontrakan) di daerah Kebon Jeruk, tepatnya di
jalan Anggrek no.52 Kelapa Dua Kebon Jeruk – Jakarta Barat.
On the sidelines of tour events, while taking a break (empty schedule) we all always go back to Jakarta. One
day I got a call by Jelly Tobing (drummer) invited me to accompany him
revelers (clock-session'an) play music at home an acquaintance. No targets or specific long-term goals other than just to "rejoice", music-hepian hepi just fill spare time only. His friend was penghobbi music has workout facilities / band jamming at home. Normally the one richest people ... the point .. :).I myself was once told by Jelly Tobing, that the richest person named Setiawan Djody feels familiar sound dikuping me. Who
does not know him at that time ..., within the meaning of my old
friends (in the 1970s) who was involved in many business domains
"mountain top," Setiawan Djody name is the guarantee worth the paper
that did not air the series term hehehe .. (Oath guns influence .., I do not matre '..!).Incidentally
also the region where he lived Kemanggisan Kingdom - Kebon Jeruk, which
is actually not far from my own home contracted (10 kilometer-an is
roughly the distance). So
disuatu Sunday by telephone after the pact together Jelly Tobing dateng
I am willing to address that ... Air "-jreng jreng" ria.In short then I trace the highway Kemanggisan "krodit" full oplet and street vendors right size of his left. I am looking for the house number given to me ........ Phew ..! plasticity not jack! Abis left-right building full of shops and a row of stalls and other stalls.Then finally I see a big hunk colored green gate, weaving between the stalls and baskets of warm-cigarettes curb other baskets. Hm ... this may think I am. Then, according to the "instructions Jelly Tobing", that: "Honk wrote" if you have found the green gate. So I klaksonlah the green gate twice, "tin ... tiiin" sounds so BMW 520 (which is also still in full belom kreditan it) hehehe.The instant the door was opened by two well-built haired smooth-faced grim .. lol. Those familiar then I know named Mr. Parno and other huehehe. Once the nose of the car entrance gate, parking spaces stretched wide to accommodate approximately 12 cars much. Still
out of the car I saw two African tiger statue (item and guwedhe) made
of cement stone, it looks like weve duty to welcome the guests present
there. Ck .. ck .. ck .. my admiration ... (ndesit tenan ..!).Last parking space is a separate section bounded by a high wall to enter the actual building space. So after going through the door wall (past the tigers was) ... the more amazed I made .... It does not seem like were in Jakarta, but more like what I call like I was in Bali (eg Ubud / Gianyar, etc.). While
building his own classic style aristocratic European-rada rada scary
and terrifying (at least not for me ... imagine the hell .. what if the
night ..) here and there especially built many kind of "temple" complete
with sesajen2nya. But the instant I disappear takjub'an by the noise "gedebak .. degebug ... nguinngg nguuueinng .. pounding guitar sound .. hehehe .. "(koq pounding guitars sik? .. one yaakk ... biarin deh ..).Looks
Jelly Tobing (usual ... super excited ..) with some fellow musicians
that I know like Ferry Asmadibrata (famous musician from Bandung) and
there is also a veteran ... Sofyan Ali promoter named .. wah .. fun ...
(Bla.. Blah .. ba ..). Then
I was introduced to Setiawan Djody by Jely Tobing and while we were
deep in conversation "Ngalor ngidul" before I went along
gunjrang-nge-berisikin gunjreng neighbors ...: "JUMP!" By Van Hallen ...
eh '.. not so long before sticking Renny Jayusman (female rocker who always garland as many closets ..) hehehe .. Came straight nyamperin microphone ... "ohh ... Jumppp yeeeaahhh!" Hayaaahh ...Group
/ association is exactly what gave birth to the beginning of the idea
to finance recordings for the "Eye of God" Iwan his FALS with his
arranger Ian Antono. Which also gave birth to the thought Sofyan Ali to establish a joint company with Setiawan Djody named "AIRO". Since
then my social relationships with Setiawan Djody increasingly familiar,
as a fellow person who loves the art world (especially in music).It
was only in the later stage of the merger process I will tell my
friends the other musicians such as Iwan FALS / Sawung Jabo and others.
Sejarah lahirnya Kantata Takwa (Bagian 2)
Semenjak I often mas Djody Calling to discuss issues about the development of music in Indonesia. I said that at its core musicians 'alternative' (non-industrial) in Indonesia requires the "helping hand" from various parties who "care", which is not only thinking about trading formula, but also thinking about the "art" in a broader sense.I see there is a "concern" of him to want to dialogue with me at length about it. So when one day he tells his ideas who want to work with AIRO (at that time the company is still owned by Sofyan Ali) I spontaneously directly support it.And at that time cooperative relationship between Sofyan Ali with Iwan FALS is already running (via various concerts Iwan own moment). So when the concert will begin 100 cities in Sumatra (Palembang) is blocked, Sofyan Ali Iwan wanted to bring into the studio to record.Record Iwan FALS is finally going under management AIRO working with SD (Setiawan Djody). And as I recall before going into the studio, SD never go together with Iwan to Bali, where they finally succeeded in creating the song "Eye of God". SD itself says that's god is "Sunset" that they see when they gitaran both on Kuta beach.Then later, when Iwan FALS is busy recording's god, I myself began to frequent escort SD to play music, be it at home or sometimes several times joined stage-concerts with live music at Ancol. Formation time include Jelly Tobing etc.. We just played a repertoire repertoire Caucasians. Generally, the songs of Led Zepllin and U2 there's one or two songs Van Hallen. Understandably the group is not a serious band, but merely a "gathering" or per-group slang and friendships only.Honestly, after a long time I felt "eman" or unfortunately if you look at the ability of "financial" belongs only to "project" personal pleasure only. Then gradually slowly but surely, I began to "poison" the contents of the mind primary brain to want to help the condition that at the time rock music Weve already started to "lay" helpless.There is only one person in Indonesia at that specifically dwell on our rock music business, which is a coincidence Zelebour Log management also manages Godbless. However, the presence of log Z. more on pragmatic business approach, whereas I consider necessary is a figure of Indonesian rock musician who serves as a sponsor "maesenas". (Who does not think must be profitable only).Album Eye GodsThen later, when Iwan FALS album's release with the concept of god (break) "direct sale" in the East Parking Senayan, once again I saw the opportunity to convince schools so that opportunities can be done for the development of rock music in the country. Breakthrough concepts on what I mean: God's tapes are not sold by Sofyan Ali (AIRO) through agents that already exist (officially) but not directly displayed in box cars during a concert in the East Parking Senayan. The concept was proven and open the eyes of many, that dominance "Glodog" could be broken as long as there is a system of carefully planned distribution.A few months later after the tape is somewhat "successful", then Setiawan Djody invites us all (me, Iwan Fals and WS.Rendra and Sawung Jabo) chat to discuss any possible agreement had been reached. Introduction between WS.Rendra (mas Willy) with SD has existed since long before I myself was present there. SD as long as it is acting as maesenas for the needs of "Theatre Workshop" Rendra, even staging was held in New York and several cities abroad and so on. While Sawung Jabo himself is a member of the Theatre Workshop.In short, we almost had a deal to cooperate with each other, but have to pass one more trouble or let's say a requirement that must be completed first. Namely, Iwan Fals along S.Jabo and other comrades who apparently were making the songs, and is planning to be recorded in the studio and so on. These requirements called for SD is also willing to address the issue of recording for their management. To be in the future, if we work together then the "master" of the product is not recorded anywhere, aka managed by a management course.SD and are willing to agree to these terms together Sofyan Ali to manage under the flag / label AIRO. That's where the idea is beginning to move. I personally was also keen to be involved in the recording that they would do it, but then I would think "tactical" to concentrate "escort" SD not to change his mind .. hehehe ..., knowing "roang tajir" sometimes suse 'held tail. I often accompanied him to his home workshop, while providing suggestions and most importantly the music which will complement the equipment needed.Long story short, a few months later recordings rampunglah Iwan and friends are (in the studio GIN), then the next short-term program is "launching" and followed by a concert (promo).Unfortunately, for some reason I suddenly got the news that Sofyan Ali resigned from the working group. And submit to AIRO managed by the current management school was named Multy Setdco. I was disappointed with it .... my eyes because no one Indonesia was unable to manage the business properly caliber musical performances Sofyan Ali.SWAMI First AlbumDisebuah cafe housed in the building owned by Brass precisely at Wisma Bakrie, then launching SWAMI titled album released there. I myself was involved to come play live at the launch of the album, but when I was not involved in the recording process. We (SWAMI) then was also a concert in Jogjakarta Kridosono GOR before I finally, Iwan, Jabo and Rendra gathered again to resume talks in order to realize "preliminary agreement" about the collaboration together. .Day-to-day ... are the days when Bento and Unloading "jarring" like a spaceship about to break up Indonesia.Takwa history of the birth Cantata (Part 3)Too bad I can not remember exactly when the meeting occurred between the five of us, but we can be sure that we were all gathered in the place of residence of SD Kemanggisan Kingdom - Kebon Jeruk them.One thing I must say is quite important here, that in fact there is one more name I proposed between the five of us are already there, I propose to join the collaboration. Concerned itself principally prepared and has several times also there to discuss and talk about various things (non-technical dialogue) in preparation for formulating concepts and forms to be designed. The man was one of the best friends of my own, Harry Roesli (deceased). As with musicians dubbed mbeling DKSB group.But since Harry Roesli as we all know their houses are in London, then only occasionally concerned may be present to talk about various things, while the other five of us are more frequent and intense to assemble. Understandably the distance between Jakarta - Bandung when it must be taken for 4 jam'an more. Because there are no toll roads such as the current state.The following days were agreed workshops regularly in Kebon Jeruk. Jelly Tobing attended a few times there and accompany us to play the drums when it comes. The composition of the people involved in the early workshop was my first keyboard, SD on electric guitars, acoustic guitars Iwan, JABO in cuap-cuap, Jelly Tobing on drums, and Edmond (a musician "old" home city of Solo, who had 've joined with SD 70's Band Terencem year).This last figure is a pretty "unique" in the eyes of us all. Besides fond of jokes "Javanese", is concerned we often think of as "spiritual teacher" is a special SD for SD playing guitar to accompany everyday before we're all socially dilingkaran in Kebon Jeruk .. (Hehehe).The activity is carried out twice a week (if not wrong) I do not remember exactly what every day we get together and make music together. To be sure it was done on the sidelines for the album promo concert activities Swami (Bento, Unloading, etc..).In a workshop atmosphere above, technically we all agreed not to refer to one particular creeds or color of certain music, but rather the "flow only" like water. You can imagine how the atmosphere "boisterous" that sounds there.Boisterous what I mean is ... the bells gempitanya a thunderous drum sound with screeching guitar sounds overlaid by a very dominant, and cries without words (just na .. na .. na, etc.) from Iwan Fals and Jabo. Coupled with the absence of "chord line" that has been agreed in advance, aka 3 moves plus. (Nah ... "plus" her that could be 10 could be 20 could be 30 ... Pokoke sak matek'e lah ..) hehehe ..I myself think the frenzied atmosphere is needed, so that I could capture the "essence" of desire and character of each personal expression to convey. Although I must admit I often had to "protect" my dikuping both holes with fingers ... so he's not broken or at least baseball is so "loose" membranes .. hehehe. Especially from freqwensi sound generated from his Soldano device SD, an extraordinarily high and loud voice.Just imagine, the Soldano is distributed to four pairs of speakers Marshal 200 through 4 pieces of power to meet the needs of four distinct speaker stack Marshall said. (As we all know that one stack consists of two speakers). This means that the guitar sound is channeled through the 8 SD indoor workshop speakers constitute only about 5 X 12 meter. While the rest of us, especially me ... just relying on a single small size class amplifier Fender Jazz Chorus for keyboards, as well as others.Gubbraaakk .. Gedubrakkss ... nguinggg .. nGGuuing ... CiiaaTT .. wwwAAAAA ..!!, so deh '... about the sound in writing in the letter ...... hahaha ..!While Willy mas I looked was often only able to survive for a while in the room and walked towards the door and then just see and hear from the outside point of the exercise ... and occasionally forehead wrinkle ... maybe try to capture the atmosphere of a pretty wild ... and then wrote something on paper. Yeah ... I just realized then, apparently triggered direct production machine and immediately also works as a screenwriter.Until I finally decided in the next meeting, the next workshop program should be done more systematically. We can no longer just constantly exploring the atmosphere without any ability and desire to capture / define "essence" in the form of a concept to make it more "real" and concrete. I propose that the following exercises consist of quite a few of us in order to create the desired songs.It was agreed then that I was appointed as the commander for the right to decide everything related to musical sounds. Renda as the writer of the text and complete lyrics for the song. Jabo Sawung as "trash" that serves to accommodate a variety of "aspiration" wishes to be conveyed by all parties. Iwan FALS as interpreter trumpet voice representing all sides by the sound of singing. And SD as a provider of various technical means necessary.In the following days it just me, Iwan Fals, Jabo Sawung accompanied by Robin (musician Philippine citizens) are more in charge of recording the songs draft into the computer through a "cakewalk" it. We bertigalah who end up working in detail for collaboratively composing songs together.Thus the early history of the formation of musical groups Kantata Takwa can I record in writing. Hopefully this will one day be continuously updated or added on to mention various shortcomings or even corrected if necessary, in order to complement the stories that should be kept in the library spaces musical journey in Indonesia in general.I am concerned that given the system per-dokumentasian we were up to this point has not been functioning as it should. People are taught to see "results" and turning a blind eye to the "process" as well as the basic 'philosophy' behind them.

Kantata Takwa

Kantata Takwa, is a process of interaction of large egos pedestrianized WS.Rendra as a spiritual advisor and author of poetry / lyrics, Setiawan Djody as a facilitator to address the financing needs and other Iwan Falsas blowing trumpets or interpreter vocalnya, Sawung Jaboprovide themselves with the term "trash" to accommodate any off steam with which one day should be collected and distributed in a democratic way, I as a designer bouzouki music or foreign language.
Because each of the above positions are very clear, so for me as an arranger, my work space boundary also appears increasingly evident.Work process:The first two weeks, just me, Sawung Jabo and Iwan are exploring sounds to make a song. The three of us 'making up' together in Kebon Jeruk (piano and 2 acoustic guitars). I recorded all the possibilities and the ambience that comes from exploration.After completion of 2 weekly (more or less), I alone did the initial work studio (then Gin Std). I reset the language to translate the song that we produced three of the piano, of course, also with the approach of an arrangement. (To complete basic music I helped: Donny F, Totok T, Eet S, Reidy Noor, Budi Haryono, Innsisri and others).After basic music ended, I recorded "guide vocal" tone as a guide for Iwan Fals and Sawung Jabo. Next they have to follow the flow of melody relative song I demonstrated.Because surely they've forgotten the song form is still raw, as when we exercise ganjreng gonjrang-month (or more) ago. Moreover, Iwan Fals, today she sang like it could be tomorrow or another already finished a new song again hehehe .. (Turn on .... sak mate'k 'e .., so babble Sawung said Jabo).So I served as arranger to limit everything, and it's my right authority and that all parties dutifully obey.Similarly, the 'fill in' lead guitar, even my running notes determines to be done, and have the right to limit the areas that should never be violated. All that running with a deal that was mutually agreed upon democratically.Even I could also ask the opinion of WS Rendra to change the words partly in writing his poem, to be more compatible in the spaces of music and song.But the process is not without consequences, because ultimately many people who do not feel satisfied channeling desire. Obviously, because it is constrained by the rules of Music Arranger.One that was not satisfied is mas Djody, he felt constrained by the notations that I made, "it's not my real" (* he *), well maybe anyway. You can listen to recordings of him after that, well that's probably what he meant, of desire and character. And indeed I have to respect the character of each individual. Not a matter of taste, like it or not.Then, disepakatilah for the next record is no longer an arranger like I used to handle it. All may be an arranger, so all satisfied ... and also the name of democracy 'new' are trying to walk.So .. it would ... (you are entitled to judge, not me).
