Hear It See It

:: Playlist, (most) photos and notes, handpicked and written by Ayip Himself ::

…Mungkin momen yang tak terjadi pada setiap orang bisa mengenal musik Rock semenjak usia 8.
Dan lagi, yang dikenal adalah grup macam Alice Cooper, Uriah Heep, Led Zeppelin, dll seangkatannya di tahun 1978.
Itu karena Oom saya yang nge-Rock abis dimana kita tinggal di Bandung.
Lagunya, cover kaset dan LPnya plus majalah Aktuil yang jadul itu ada di sana.

Ya, di ujung jalan deket rumah disitulah bangsanya Deddy Stanzah, Gito Rollies kongkow kongkow sama si Oom.
Thanks ya Oom, Rocknya demikian berkesan sampai sekarang walau gak jaminan lebih tau banyak dari yang baru suka…

Selebihnya, perjalanan mengenal Rock mulai lewat konser di Jakarta masa SMP-SMA jamannya Acid Speed Band, Cockpit, dsb.
Selera juga mulai bergeser dari apa yang disebut Hard Rock ke Classic atau Art rock dan belakangan Progressive Rock.
Gak tau ya… Barangkali frekuensinya buat kerja kreatif tuning sekali!

Di bawah ini, walau tidak secara timeline, adalah yang pernah menggurat waktu dan beberapa still OK buat bikin suasana khusus.

Sekali lagi lagu-lagu Rock saat itu memang surealis dan itu erat hubungannya dengan penggambaran ‘art’nya di cover.
Story-nya bukan hanya digambarkan dalam desain tapi lagu-personalitas group dan gaya covernya seperti dua kutub seni yang saling mengimbangi dan memperkaya.
Banyak lagu yang berkesan tapi digitalnya tak dapat dijumpai dan, maaf, referensi saya dominan below 2002 saja agar ada sense of jadul-nya.
(Hanya seorang Dethu yang bisa membuat hal personal ini terdengar untuk umum)

Ingat, dengerin lagunya sambil liat seni di cover albumnya…


1. Heart of Stone – The Rolling Stones
Dramatik ballad dengan bungkusan blues dan R&B ini sangat berkesan buat para green activist.
Kisah tentang logo kondang Lips & Tongue karya John Pasche ini dibuatnya sewaktu dia masih mahasiswa desain dan hanya dihargai sekitar 80 pound. Ternyata logo itu cocok banget dan dipakai hingga saat ini. Sketsa desain awal desain itu laku 92.500 US$ dan kini menjadi koleksi the Victoria and Albert Museum
Album/Year Released: The Rolling Stones, Now! (1965)

2. Play With Fire – The Rolling Stones
Out of Our Heads (1965)


3. The Rain Song – Led Zeppelin
Lagu ini menjadi momen baru bagi LZ dalam urusan mengemasnya di dapur rekaman. Tapi kisah sang pembuat cover desain Storm Thorgerson demikian menariknya: “People say I’m terrible to work with and I imagine I am.” “As a designer, I’m completely amoral,” Kata Thorgerson. “I don’t care about the money, the time or the energy it takes: it’s the design that matters. I don’t really care about people’s inconvenience.”
Houses of the Holy (1973)

Destroyer (1976)

5. Dont Let It Show – Alan Parson Project

7. Why Cant This Be Love – Van Halen
“Blind fans” Lee Roth gak suka sama lagu ini, padahal energik sekali untuk ungkapan keraguan cinta

Aerosmith pernah jadi teman perjalanan overland Bandung-Bali yang mantap

20. Citizen Erased – Muse
