Grup band pemenang American Music Award, Daughtry, menggelar sebuah konser eksklusif bertajuk Traffic Jam Street Party di Plaza Parkir Timur Senayan, Jakarta, Jumat (25/7) malam.

Kelompok yang beranggotakan Chris Daughtry (vokal), Josh Steely (gitar), Josh PaulJoey Barnes (drum), dan Brian Craddok (gitar), datang ke Jakarta khusus untuk menghibur para pengguna telepon seluler dengan musik (ponsel walkman, red) yang diluncurkan oleh Sony Ericsson. (bass),

Daughtry membawakan 12 lagu, di antaranya lagu hits mereka It`s Not Over, Home, dan What I Want. Grup beraliran musik rock n roll ini baru pertama kali tampil di Jakarta dan sempat menikmati suasana Jakarta sebelum konser.

"Kami pergi ke mal membeli burger dan kopi yang sama mereknya dengan di Amerika, rasanya nikmat. Kami juga melihat lalu lintas di Jakarta yang selalu macet," ujar pentolan Chris seraya tersenyum.

Chris adalah juara 4 American Idol 5. Ia tidak menampik kesuksesan kelompok band ini di pentas musik Amerika dan dunia juga berkat kesuksesan di American Idol.

Soal nama band Daughtry, diakui Chris diambil dari namanya. Hal ini bukan karena Chris sebagai pendiri grup band, melainkan karena nama tersebut dianggap lebih dikenal penikmat musik.

"Daughtry memang diambil dari namaku, tapi setiap personil memiliki andil yang besar dalam band ini, jadi tidak selalu aku yang mendominasi," katanya.

Para personil grup band Daughtry berasal dari negara bagian North Carolina, Amerika Serikat. Album perdana kelompok ini diberi judul sama dengan nama grup bandnya dan dirilis pada 21 November 2006.

Album Daughtry bertahan di 10 besar tangga lagu selama berbulan-bulan, terus menanjak hingga berhasil menduduki posisi puncak pada Januari 2007 dan bertahan di posisi tersebut selama dua minggu pada tangga lagu Billboard 200.

Album tersebut terjual sebanyak empat juta kopi dan diberi predikat album dengan penjualan tertinggi 2007 oleh Billboard. Pada 21 Juni 2007 album tersebut dianugerahi Triple Platinum.

Penampilan mereka dalam acara Traffic Jam Street Party dibuka dengan penampilan Ari Lasso dan RAN. Sebelum melakukan konser, para personil Daughtry menjumpai para penggemarnya yang sebagian besar adalah anak muda dan kalangan eksekutif muda yang merupakan para pengguna ponsel merek Sony Ericsson.
Para anggota band pop rock asal Los Angeles, Maroon 5, selalu memastikan bahwa mereka merasa rileks dan fleksibel saat mereka manggung waktu konser. Mereka melakukannya dengan mengadakan sesi yoga.

Frontman Maroon 5, Adam Levine, adalah orang pertama dalam band yang jatuh cinta pada yoga. Sekarang dia dan teman-teman bandnya bersikeras untuk membawa ahli yoga dalam tur mereka.

"Kami cukup beruntung bisa memiliki instruktur khusus yang bisa terus bersama kami setiap hari, jadi kami bisa terus mempraktekkannya," kata Levine.

"Yoga membantu otakmu, dan membantu tubuhmu. Dan yoga akan membantu hidupmu secara umum."

Levine juga bertutur pada Eonline.com bahwa yoga adalah cara yang hebat untuk menyatukan band itu.

"Semuanya melakukan yoga, cukup menyenangkan untuk kami lakukan bersama. Sangat melegakan," tambahnya.

JAKARTA - Setelah menghadapi cobaan hidup yang berat, tidak membuat musisi kawakan Fariz RM terpuruk. Pelan tapi pasti, ayah tiga orang anak ini berhasil meniti karirnya sebagai seorang musisi. Fariz berhasil tampil memukau di hadapan penggemarnya.

Fariz tidak hanya tampil sendiri, pelantun lagu Barcelona ini juga menggandeng ponakannya Sherina, White Shoes & The Couple Company dan Koil.

Konser di buka sekitar pukul 20.30 WIB, di Rolling Stone Live Venue, Jumat (25/7/2008), dengan lagu pembuka berjudul Sungguh. Dalam konser ini diberi tajuk Fariz RM The Anthology Live Concert, Fariz mampu memperlihatkan auranya sebagai musisi handal.

Penonton seakan terbuai ke tahun 80-an, ketika pria bertubuh kurus ini membawakan lagu Di Antara Kita.

Fariz pun berduet dengan Sherina Munaf. Keduanya menyanyikan lagu Nada Kasih dan Hasrat & Cinta. Suami dari Oneng ini terlihat sangat menikmati konsernya tersebut, meski ada sedikit gangguan.

White Shoes &The Couple Company membawakan dua tembang lawas berjudul Selangkah ke Seberang dan Kurnia & Pesona. Koil pun tak mau kalah, mereka membawakan dua lagu yakni Lensa Kamar Putih dan Sirkus Optik. Fariz yang membawakan lagu tersebut bareng Koil terlihat asyik dengan hentakan musik rock.

Lagu Sakura dan Barcelona yang ditunggu-tunggu dibawakan Fariz sambil bermain keyboard. Penonton pun ikut terhanyut dan ikut bernyanyi.

Hampir 14 lagu dibawakan oleh Fariz RM dengan penuh semangat dan perasaan. Fariz pun tak bisa menyembunyikan rasa harunya, ketika para pendukung acara memberikan salam kepadanya.
Band rock asal Glasgow, Skotlandia, Franz Ferdinand
mengatakan bahwa album ketiga mereka telah hampir selesai. Namun laporan menyebutkan bahwa album ini tidak akan dirilis sampai Januari tahun depan.

Saat berbicara pada BBC Music 6 dalam Festival Latitude akhir minggu kemarin, band itu mengatakan bahwa mereka telah menyelesaikan rekaman album mereka. Tapi mereka menambahkan bahwa album tersebut masih perlu proses mixing.

Walaupun begitu, band ini juga membicarakan tentang perpisahan mereka dengan produser mereka, Brian Higgins. Higgins telah membangun reputasinya atas kerja samanya dengan Girls Aloud, Sugababes, dan Kylie Minogue.

Frontman Franz Ferdinand, Alex Kapranos mengatakan, "Brian adalah orang yang sangat hebat dan apa yang mereka lakukan di Xenomania sangat unik dan tidak ada lagi yang bisa melakukannya. Namun jalan mereka benar-benar berbeda dengan kami."

"Sementara memang menyenangkan untuk terus bersama-sama, tapi hal ini tidak begitu berhasil. Aku masih mendapatkan email aneh dari Brian dan mereka sedang melakukan hal-hal yang menarik namun bukan bersama kami.
That sound you just heard is the other shoe dropping at Taylor Guitars. The first shoe was the introduction in late 2007 of their first three solidbody guitars with humbuckers: the Standard, the Classic, and the Custom. The new Taylor Solidbody Classic SC—as in single-coil—will be a real eye-opener for players who prefer the humbucker sound and think they know what a noiseless single-coil guitar will sound like.

Discovery-driven pickups

Taylor designers David Hosler and Brian Swerdfeger told me they had been working on the single-coil pickup design throughout the development of the Solidbody series. The challenge: come up with a new single-coil pickup design with a great sound that inspires great playing. Like the design of their acoustic guitars, the fundamental process wasn't calendar- or market-driven; it was discovery-driven—the pickups were done when they were done. That meant lots of experimentation with basic pickup components—magnets, coils, pole pieces—looking at them in new ways, taking nothing for granted. Lots of "What if we did this?" and "Hey, that was cool."

Brian says it was important to maintain the vintage single-coil sound that players love, while improving on it. Other pickup manufacturers would experiment with a heavier wire gauge or a different number of windings on the coil. To Taylor, that's the same as trying to improve a car engine by changing the tires. Instead it's important to work on the engine. The key was understanding how the magnetic energy—or flux—of the pickups could be focused and shaped by the positioning and composition of the magnets. Most pickup magnets are alnico, ceramic, or in some cases, samarium cobalt. Taylor chose sintered neodymium magnets which can be molded to create a flux pattern achieving the desired power output.

The more they experimented, the more they learned. As David recounts, a breakthrough in creating an original design occurred when an assistant came to him and explained how he "bent this and twisted that." He contrasts this tweaking of a component in different ways to the ancient Mayans who apparently didn't think to turn their round grinding stones on their edges to make them into wheels.

Strictly speaking, these aren't single-coil pickups. To make their pickups noiseless, Taylor uses two coils to produce what is technically called "common mode rejection." But, as David and Brian are careful to point out, these are neither humbucking pickups nor a stacked design. Brian says as soon as you say "stack" everyone thinks of the stacked pickups from the early '80s. Although those pickups were humbucking and produced a fatter sound, they gave up the sweet top end tone that players love in single-coils. The Taylor pickups are noiseless without compromising the single-coil sound.

Soundcheck

When I ran the Solidbody Classic SC through a well-known tube amp, I could immediately hear the distinctive single-coil tone. Their higher output more easily pushed the amp into overdrive. Backing off the gain produced a breathy top end with lots of airiness, yet not as dense as the 3/4-size Style 1 humbuckers on the Classic. The low end was full, tight, and articulate with plenty of percussive punch when needed. The five-way selector offered the neck, middle, and bridge pickups solo (1, 3, and 5), while settings 2 and 4 provided the quacky "in-between sound" of either neck/middle or middle/bridge combinations.

Taylor-made

Other than noiseless single-coil pickups, the Classic SC has the same features as the Solidbody Classic. The Classic SC has a single cutaway with beveled back and sides for more comfort and easy access to higher frets. The body wood is swamp ash topped with a retro trans white, trans red, black, or natural finish along with a crushed pearl pickguard. The distinctive Taylor neck is joined to the body with a single bolt T-lock™ neck joint. The single bolt pulls the neck down into the body and back toward the bridge guaranteeing accuracy and intonation with the look and feel of a set neck. The unique Taylor-designed bridge has an elegant smooth aluminum surface with a clean, futuristic look. The saddles are locked down so they won't move when the guitar is transported. The knobs have a lip edge for easy volume swells and come with a set of O-ring rubber grips that can be slipped on over the knobs for extra-sweaty fingers.

Strangely familiar yet totally new

With its own unique tonal flavor, the Classic SC will serve well as a genre-hopping instrument for anything from jazz, pop, and country to all shades of rock including 'billy, classic, punk, alternative, shred, and any style combination you can come up with. Now with noiseless single-coils, the Taylor solidbody electrics are fun to play and will inspire you to new levels of performance and creativity.

Phonic released the WM series of UHF wireless transmitters and receivers back in 2005, and almost immediately they took off. The original WM series receivers were compatible only with our Performer Series speakers, but to meet customer demand for this technology, we released a universal receiver in early 2006. These systems were a hit with professional users and novices alike, but Phonic engineers saw areas for improvement and ways to incorporate new technology, so they began developing the new Phonic W5 Wireless Speaker System.

Developing the W5

First and foremost, we didn't want to revisit old ground. That being the case, digital methods of wireless transmission were employed and the Phonic engineeers devised a couple of digital input and output methods for the W5. They included USB input on the transmitter and optical S/PDIF output on the receiver. Through the USB port, users can connect to their computer and select the W5 as their default audio output device, allowing wireless streaming of audio directly from the computer. The S/PDIF output on the receiver allows for the units to be connected to many modern home speaker systems.

Friendly features

We also wanted to create a wireless system that was more user friendly than before. Being that a good number of our customers were novices, they didn't want to deal with picking channels and checking for interference in frequencies. The 2.4GHz digital transmission took care of the interference, and the one-button connection method eliminated a complicated setup process.

The RCA connectors were something that customers thought were a good compromise between pro and consumer audio. All modern mixers have RCA two-track output, and you can find RCA inputs on just about every home stereo system, so it was an easy choice. The RCA connections were a particular request from many DJs who could set their gear up more quickly if they didn't need to run cables between their booth and amps and/or speakers.

Including a rechargeable battery to the receiver unit was just natural since many speaker systems include battery power themselves. The battery allows you to play audio from inside a house, hall, venue, or wherever, with a CD player, computer, or MP3 player and direct the signal outdoors to an area where no power is available. With the ability to support up to five receivers with a single transmitter unit, it is easy to have multispeaker setups, including surround sound.

Possible applications

  • Clubs/DJs—RCA connectors make the unit ideal for band and mobile DJs
  • Outdoor parties/BBQs—Play music inside through your computer, MP3 player, and receive the signal outside
  • Household audio system—For people who like to play music through their computer: connect the transmitter to the computer, and place receivers in different rooms of the house
  • Connecting to a remote mixer—Send the signal from a mini-mixer in one area of a venue to the main board through the RCA 2T (two-track) inputs

SEBUAH peristiwa besar yang belum pernah terjadi selama ini, dapat kita saksikan di Ballroom Twin Plaza Hotel Jakarta, minggu lalu (17/7). Di situ, 410 musisi yang tergabung dalam 82 band dari seluruh penjuru tanah air merilis bareng album rekaman mereka. Aksi ini diprakarsai oleh Akalliar dan di-support oleh Soetrisno Bachir Foundation (SB Foundation). Soetrisno Bachir menyebut aksi itu sebagai ide gila. “Insan partai politik tidak akan pernah paham terhadap gagasan semacam ini. Tapi saya mampu menangkapnya, dan saya menyukainya. Makanya saya support kegiatan ini,” ungkap pengusaha yang juga ketua umum PAN yang akrab disapa SB itu di hadapan hadirin yang manyaksikan launching 8 Album Kompilasi Akalliar siang itu.

SB mengaku menyukai musik, bahkan tanpa musik dirinya bisa sakit dan akan kekeringan inspirasi. Oleh sebab itu, dalam setiap kesempatan senggang ia selalu menikmati alunan musik. “Musik adalah kreasi yang dapat memacu tumbuhnya kreativitas baru. Bangsa yang maju adalah yang bisa menghargai musik. Tetapi maaf, di Indonesia musik belum memperoleh tempat sebagaimana mestinya. Saya komit untuk memperjuangkan musik bersama para musisi, baik yang tergabung di sini saat ini ataupun yang di luar sana. Juga memajukan bidang-bidang seni lainnya,” ungkapnya.
“Saya berharap para musisi mampu mewarnai kehidupan bangsa Indonesia dengan spirit membangun. Luncurkan kreativitas musik anda yang mampu memberi inspirasi positif bagi warga bangsa. Berterimakasihlah kepada para senior yang sudah memberi jalan berkreasi, dan mari kita tunggu ide gila selanjutnya dari seorang Ali Akbar,” tutur SB pada akhir sambutannya yang disambut gemuruh oleh hadirin.
AKAL LIAR merupakan perusahaan rekaman pertama yang berani merilis delapan album sekaligus. Produk tersebut tergolong dahsyat sebab memuat kreasi lagu 82 grup band maupun penyanyi solo karier, dan CD-nya dijual hanya dengan harga Rp 8.000 perkeping.
Delapan Album Kompilasi Akalliar merupakan hasil sebuah kegiatan bertajuk Release Your Song (RYS) yang mulai di-launch ke publik pada Februari lalu. Kegiatan ini membuka kesempatan kepada masyarakat musik untuk mengirimkan master rekaman sebuah lagu (dalam format final mixed), dengan jenis dan aliran musik bebas. Dalam waktu dua bulan, RYS mencatat sejumlah 420 peserta yang kira-kira terdiri atas 2.500 musisi.

Dari total peserta tersebut, setelah dilakukan seleksi, terdapat 131 lagu yang dinyatakan layak kualitas, dan pada minggu lalu dirilislah sejumlah 82 lagu milik 82 grup band dan penyanyi solo karier yang dikemas menjadi delapan CD album. Pada kesempatan launching, 16 band di antaranya ditampilkan di atas panggung, yaitu Valencia (Jakarta), De Not 7 (Medan), Spaghettie (Magelang), Simetris (Kediri), The Rolling Doors (Bogor), Akar (Riau), Amarta (Tangerang), Toast Barock (Batam), Benk Benk (Aceh), Sendy (Sidoarjo), IndigoChild (Makassar), Yellow (Jakarta), Little Star (Malang), Sanksoet (Yogyakarta), El-Jomblo (Samarinda) dan Seega (Jakarta).
RYS diselenggarakan oleh PT. Akal Liar yang dimotori Ali Akbar, dibantu oleh Ian Antono (pentolan God Bless) dan Iwan Xaverius (mantan bassist Edane) sebagai tim seleksi lagu para peserta. Pendaftaran peserta dapat dilakukan di kantor-kantor perwakilan Akalliar yang terdapat di hampir setiap kota di seluruh Indonesia. Perwakilan ini pulalah yang akan bertindak selaku agen dan penyalur produk-produk rekaman musik Akalliar.
Pada kesempatan launching itu, 410 musisi dari seluruh Indonesia duduk bersama-sama, didampingi Soetrisno Bachir, Ian Antono, Ali Akbar, Iwan Xaverius dan sederet tokoh pengelola perwakilan Akalliar dari seluruh Indonesia. “Ini benar-benar gagasan liar, baru dan seru,” celetuk salah seorang hadirin dari kalangan wartawan di acara itu.
Dalam sejarah belantika musik, kegiatan ini tercatat sebagai hal terbesar pertama. Oleh karena itu, Dewan Pertimbangan Rekor Dunia Indonesia pada Badan Musium Rekor Indonesia (MURI) menganugerahi Akalliar dan Soetrisno Bachir Foundation sebagai pemrakarsa “Rilis Album Rekaman dengan Band dan Artis Terbanyak”.

Dua personel CokelatKikan dan Ernest terpaksa turun panggung. Mereka diterpa sakit di tengah rangkaian promo tur lima kota besar album PANCA INDERA. Dan selama 12 tahun manggung, baru kali ini Cokelat tampil tidak lengkap.

Disebut oleh Ronny – bassist Cokelat, bahwa ini seperti menjadi pertanda Cokelat sudah tidak muda lagi untuk rock n roll. "Sudah tidak tahan banting lagi, mungkin hanya kami (RonnyEdwin) saja yang masih kuat."

Untuk posisi Kikan yang digantikan Emmy, Ronny tidak melihat pas atau tidaknya Emmy untuk masuk sebagai vokalis permanen di Cokelat, sebab sejak tahun lalu dikabarkan Kikan bakal resign.

"Kriteria untuk masuk Cokelat adalah mereka dekat dengan kita apa tidak. Kita tidak pernah secara mudah memasukkan orang ke dalam keluarga kita. Contohnya, Ernest – walau pun dia itu adiknya Erwin tapi dia perlu melakukan pendekatan dengan kita selama 2 tahun. Juga harus bisa buat lagu. Jadi prosesnya panjang," terang Ronny.

Menurut Ronny, formasi Cokelat sekarang ini adalah formasi yang terbaik. "Makanya kita buat album PANCA INDERA, kalau tidak ada satu kita merasa kurang pas. Dan cita–cita pingin jadi band legendaris, akan sangat cemen kalau ada yang sakit terus kita bubar. Kita terima Kikan sebagai vokalis perempuan yang ada keterbatasannya. Dan kita tidak pernah mengeluh soal itu," paparnya

Dji Sam Soe Super Premium Urban Jazz Crossover" yang sebelumnya digelar di tiga kota Indonesia, yakni Bandung, Surabaya, Medan dan Bali, besok malam (Sabtu, 26/07/08) digelar di Kamasutra, Crown Plaza Hotel, Jakarta. Salah satu penyanyi yang akan ikut menghibur di acara ini adalah Andi Rif, Jumat (25/07/08) ikut menghadiri jumpa pers dan sekaligus unjuk penampilan dengan membawakan dua lagu, Radja dan Smile Like Teen Spirit milik Nirvana.

Andi - yang biasanya menyanyikan lagu rock - mengaku membawakan lagu jazz merupakan keasyikan tersendiri buatnya. "Menarik juga, ya mungkin suatu hari bisa saja bikin lagu jazz, tapi kalau pure nyanyi jazz nggak lah, karena saya terlahir jadi penyanyi dari musik rock. Tapi di sini saya punya kesempatan untuk belajar dan nyanyi jazz. Saya tidak mau melepaskan kesempatan tersebut karena saya bisa lebih mengeskplorasi dalam bermusik, jujur aja ajakan ini tidak saya pikir dua kali, saya juga menikmati musik jazz karena pertama saya belajar nyanyi itu musik blues, ya beda-beda tipis sama jazz," ungkap personel Rif ini.

Dari musik genre rock beralih membawakan lagu jazz, tentunya bukan loncatan yang mudah, tapi bagi Andi apa yang dilakukannya bukan sebuah kesulitan malah jadi kenikmatan. "Saya bukannya mendapat kesulitan tapi justru mendapat kenikmatan. Kalau musik rock itu dituntut dengan tempo tinggi dan penuh distorsi, tapi di sini tidak dibutuhkan. Ternyata nyanyi santai juga bisa dinikmati, jadi saya mikir juga sih ngapain kemarin-kemarin saya nyanyi sambil teriak," ujarnya sambil tertawa.

Untuk membawakan lagu dalam acara ini, Andi memutuskan lima lagu pilihannya sendiri. Dalam aksi panggungnya, Andi mengaku lebih mudah menyanyikan lagu-lagu yang disukainya. "Ya kalau saya bernyanyi itu biasanya lagunya yang saya suka dan saya gemari. Langsung saya sebutin lagu Radja sama Smile Like Teen Spirit dari Nirvana. Itu tugasnya Mas Eq (Pura Diredja - musik director) untuk memperkosanya," tambah Andi.

Untuk penampilannya besok malam Andi akan membawakan lima lagu. "Dji Sam Soe Urban Jazz Cross Over" juga akan diramaikan beberapa penyanyi lain, di antaranya Glenn Fredly dan Maliq & D Essentials.

Selain melakukan banyak aksi sosial, Jay z juga dikenal sebagai musisi yang murah hati. Ia tak perlu berpikir dua kali untuk mentraktir teman-temannya, meski harus merogoh kocok dengan jumlah yang tidak sedikit, lapor The Mirror.

Mogul hip-hop ini membawa satu grup berjumlah 40 orang ke restoran Japanese Ithaca di Manchester setelah konser di MEN Arena pada akhir pekan.

Jay Z menghabiskan US$24.000 dalam satu malam, termasuk memesan champagne seharga US$1.200, beberapa cognac bernilai US$200, dan US$3.000 untuk tip para pelayan.

Sumber mengatakan, "Teman-teman Jay memesan daging Wagyu senilai US$104, sementara Jay sendiri memesan aneka ikan laut. Dia sangat kagum dengan koki di restoran itu hingga mengajaknya untuk ikut tur bersama!"

Ini bukan pertama kalinya, Jay Z menghabiskan banyak uang untuk makan. Beberapa waktu lalu, ia dilaporkan telah menghabiskan US$10.000 saat makan malam di Paris.
