Alone | Safinanadisa x Ari Hamzah

2 min read
The collaboration between Safinanadisa and Ari Hamzah is unique.
The unique context is seen from what kind of music the duo will produce.
Safina Nadisa or commonly called Adis, has an Indie music group from Surakarta, called Jungkat-Jungkit with the Blues genre.
Meanwhile, Ari Hamzah, after taking a break from Endank Soekamti, also has another music group, although so far Mas Ari has more often performed solo.

Their first single ‘Alone’, arguably managed to steal the attention of indie music lovers including me haha.
Adis’ unique voice, chanted softly at the beginning then followed by Ari Hamzah’s signature sound into the chorus.
I don’t know about genres .
But in this single, I think Adis’ voice really comes out.
In some seesaw songs, like lengkung pelangi I think too.
Her voice character is suitable for songs that yaaa… like that I don’t know the term ehehe.
Previously, I first heard Adis’ voice from the song Lengkung Pelangi.
Starting from Adis’ collaboration with Endank Soekamti in making a Lyric Video in sign language.
I also followed some video tours of Jungkat-Jungkit to India.
And finally listening to Adis’ voice again, this time coming and collaborating with Ari Hamzah.

During the recording process of the single ‘Álone’ at Erros Chandra Studio, Yogyakarta, Safina Nadisa and Ari Hamzah both admitted that they had never performed material like this.
If you hear the opening with piano instruments at the beginning of the song, then Producer and Music Director, Tomo Widayat is the character.
Looks like Mas Tomo is doing a lot of multitasking in this project hehe.
From Tomo’s point of view, the material of the song ‘Alone’ is more inclined to Folk.
As for publication, this single has released its Lyric Videoon YouTube on May 22, 2017.
Where, in the making of this video involved an animator from Hungary, Vivien Sarkany, who Adis knew from her sister-in-law.
Vivien himself admitted that he was very interested in making stop motion animation content from puppets .
Assisted by Agnes Györfi, as Character Design who also comes from Hungary.
In addition to the interesting process of making animations in lyric videos, no less interesting is the creation of characters in animations made by Agnes manually.
This is what makes the animation process take longer.
That’s not even including the time from the shooting process of each character that has been made.
Maybe that’s what makes the animation in this lyric video look special.
Yeah, and to enjoy this single we can already listen to it on Spotify.
Hopefully the hopes of Mbak Adis and Mas Ari can be realized.
Where, the expectations of music listeners who are looking forward to the work of this Duo are in line with expectations.
For myself, this is more than expected.
Cheerz!
