a musician wannabe wanna eat you alive

the title sometimes aren't just everything.
at the counseling class, we should wrote about our future goals and our friends will gave a testimonial about it. yeah, hell.

mine is; agi tiara - musician

my friend, diah, want to be a musician or accountant, devy wants to be a stay-home-mother and a cook, rizka wants to be an economy expert or designer and asha wants to be a president.
along with the subject i made fun with rizka, dissing her economic instinct as she never care with her money. and i made fun of myself, saying my motto is to have a "karir gemerlap segemilang gilang ramadhan" hauhauhauhau, and we know it won't happened unless i have a fairytale miracle.

my friends said in the testimonials that i could be a great musician. i feel i couldn't. there's my other half whinging the voices of when people distracts me and when they rejects me. my head aches in a few second as i'm trying hard just to feel a little comfortable.

i remember my dad's nocturnal thoughts yesterday, (read 2 posts below, "poppa and my fluctuative journeys"). i remember that feeling. i don't know why most of good musicians were under-exposed (like.. nikita dompas, maybe? haha!) and why most of jerks were out overexposed by the media, grr (par examplè; ..you know, those sinetronladybitches and alaysenangbands)

i want to found myself singing at great stage with hundreds people hailing my name, crowds are great and they're wanting me to play the music,
i want to found my own albums out for shop.
and i found myself sang for my stupid music club, every thursday. but i love it. always.
a lil' music can relaxed your mind.
a great music can wash your mind.
i want my music to lay you down, relax, then wash your brain.
hope so, xo

P.S; i'm so in the mood for talking stuffs in english with a long long stories. exchange your thoughts, dear! xo.

poppa and my fluctuative journeys

i love my poppa cause he always told me the right thing in a wrong way. no gratitude yet silly catfight everyday.
since i had some nasty fight with abitchyslut whom i always admit to diss here..
he told me, "gi, when you're trying to kick her while she's still alive, don't use a low kick, use your anger instead of feeling sorry, and if she's a crap, go on and hang her head on your ceiling"
i said, "pop, you just sounded like ozzy osbourne"

my pop told me, if he felt worried he'll get angry as well.
my pop told me, i need to get away from my nasty problem.
and i told myself, i hate my poppa

"gi, first when you are 4, we took you into a music shop and we bought an old yamaha keyboard, which one you used for learning piano, then you bought yourself a melodica when we asked you what instrument did you want to play, and then you pointed drums, an old ludwig,"
"i know you were too young to play drums, even though i played it as well, we'd know that you wouldn't fit at that old ludwig, in that time junior kits were hard to found, me asked the shop owner to order a junior kit, for your 5th years bday gift"
"and then you always positively disturbed me when i played drums, everyday. you asked me, what's this, what's that, why that sounded like this or that, and so and so, well, i felt lucky cos you would try one, and once you hold the stick, i know, you got your daddy's talent,"

(and i said, "that is mean i am not talented, pop, you sucks," then he laughed)

"all i know you love the drums but once you denied it for the bass, your brother is a great bassist though he didn't know he was a great bassist because he learnt it by himself, from a book, then he's a left handed bassist, the best i ever met, i sent him to yamaha then"
"you getaway from the piano course, your teacher said you didn't have what so called talent, and you denied it. i still heard some messy beyer and folks song which meant you were still practiced it, but you always said that you hate pianos and stuff"

(i said, "what the hell with that white and black keys, damn,")

"then at age of 6 you started your music course even though i must begged my bestfriend to gave u a chance in M&J, you grew up, and at 10 you asked me for a bass,"
"you have a twinky 2B's drumstick finger, a fragile ones that wont help you learnt bass but u tried and you made it, i'm proud of you, so proud, even at age of 11 you asked me a guitar,"
"i can't help myself, it's a fact that when you were 12 you asked me a doublebass. right when you got some late problems, at the same time, i realize you were still play piano, drums, bass and guitar, when you got a bit serious with that, you enroll an independent music studies and i saw you worked really hard with those eartrainings, music business and stuff, some girls like you might been fall in love with boy or else, you studied those boring music studies,"

(i laughed, "yeah, i fall in love with nikita dompas," then pop glanced at me in a scary face, i sighed, "just kidding pop, i fell with the music itself")

"then at the beginning of this year, you were completely finish those music studies, i found myself got very happy, yet i felt 'i don't need to bought her an instrument again,' and i'm just laughing if you said you want a grand piano like everyday since i bought your first keyboard, imagine, now you have an old DX 200, one RMV, one PSR 3000, two melodica, one classic C330, one st harmony electric bass, one doublebass, and lots of amplifiers and it's all your own, your own, i didn't count rio's and mine and we already had those homey studio, thanks god i can bought you your very own house to put those bitches together"

(i laughed overloud, he looked annoyed)

"still NOW you asked me for a rhodes course and i gave it, and you still improving your percussion skill, girl, i want to sent you straight away to hollywood's music institute!"

i spoke clearly, "dad, i always wanted to be just like you, i want to be in that institute, not juilliard like mum tells,"

and you know what did he said to me?

"you're too good to be like me, i am just an unknown musician and enjoy myself at my 58 to 60 to praise myself, as a great civil engineer,"

i parked the car in my carport. tried so hard to not cry. after all, he's just too overprotective to his only daughter which act like her without ever knowing it.

01 and their assignment

SMTKCK keparaat rat raaat!
pr menggunung, assignment bertumpuk, harga drum makin mahaaaaal gara gara krisis ekonomi *iya ga nyambung*

tadi pagi demi nyelesein assignment si sefny gue bela belain deh ke rumah lexa. bodo amat jauh. yg penting selesai.
di rumah lexa ternyata ada ical, dmaz dan renor yang juga lg ngerjain assignment tai itu. untunglah AC kamar lexa nyala jadi gw lbh semangat *lho?*
fyi assignmentnya 3 lembar gambar set drum plus skemanya yang bulet bulet itu *gw lupa namanya apa* dan dikerjakan di kertas A3. jadi ada tampak depan, samping dan dalam plus skema 1 lembar dan keterangan yang bisa berlembar lembar.
kadang gue nyesel kenapa ngambil grade music theory. sefny galak ajah. trus gw pulang dan nitip absen sm ical-renor
siangnya, gw ditelepon mazu katanya 01 dimarain gara gara gambarnya seadanya banget terus skemanya ngga ada yg beres, soalnya mirip semua. terus dikasi tugas lagi disuruh bikin gambar kaya gitu lagi sama tiga lagu yang bisa dimainin secara unik dengan set itu
i feel so ERGHH
gw bingung.
ga ada apa tugas yg lbh "waras"?
kayanya instructor yang lain ga ada yg ngasi pr terus kaya gini deh. anjrot jrot jrot jrot jrot.
gw diam. dmaz (a.k.a mazu) diam. lalu dia menyanyikan jingle telkom yang baru, telepon rumah uwo uwo... pake 30 menit bayar 6 menit sajaaa.. tralala dubidum bidum pam pam..
lalu kita terdiam lagi (setelah ngakak ngakak gila) karena berarti, rabu depan skema jelek itu udah harus jadi. grrr. jadi sorenya, ical, renor, mazu dateng ke rumah gw. nah udah gt tiba-tiba nyik sama aye datang ke rumah. rame deh.
berhubung aye jago main gitar, gue minta gitar gw yg bunyinya jadi aneh sejak senarnya gue ganti kemaren, distemin. trus gw tinggal deh aye sama nyik di kamar, gw ngibrit ke bawah trus nyicil tugas si sefny bareng bocah cihuy mazu, cabulita ical dan renor.
udah gitu ical kan sambil browsing browsing raditya dika, eh ada link yang ke kamus anak gaul gt. berasa rascal gt. haha, no offense buat yg punya site. lucu kok kamusnya, lumayan menghibur bocah bocah nestapa lagi durjana ini. eh durjana itu bukannya gitarisnya GIGI? itu dewa BUDJANA, hahahahaha jayus.
eh tau tau gitar gue jadi. bunyinya udah lbh enak gt. nah aye sm nyik diatas curhat curhat bebek secara nyik kalo ke jakarta jarang ketemu aye.

assignmentnya gmn gi? belum jadi tuh, hehehe :)

eartraining dan saya

banyak yang bilang gue ngedompleng nama bokap, nama si om, nama sekolah musik seberang jalan dan nama RMV.
terserah apa kata lo deh.
gue bisa sampe kaya gni tu pengorbanan besar sar sar sar. gak lebay loh, mainan masa kecil gw ya alat musik itu.
tapi..
gw usaha lah. didikan guru-guru gw dulu keras banget. even ya, gue masi kecil tapi mereka gak peduli.
hal yang paling ga gue suka waktu latian musik adalah eartraining. kenapa? karena saya tipe orang bawel yg ga bisa duduk diem ngedengerin orang main terus menghayati apapun yang masuk ke kuping gue.
lalu kenapa gue bisa jadi trainee lecturer buat eartraining?
begini ceritanya, *jengjengjengjeng*

gue dulu murid om gil. namanya juga om gil, kalo ngeliat murid 'nganggur' pasti diajak ngejamm. secara dulu gue cuma bisa mukul mukul kit jadilah ngejammnya gw nge fill in dia dikit dikit.
lama lama om gil sering ngasi kaset *jaman gue belajar dulu CD masi jarang banget lah* minus one. pelan pelan gue belajar dari meniru dan ngebedain nada dari drumnya om gil. setaun kemudian gue belajar bass sama kak irun dan dapet banyak ilmu eartraining.

SETELAH ITUH, gue belajar menulis lirik dari lagu lagu yang gue dgr beserta notasinya. jujur aja, pertama gue belajar dari lagu lagu linkin park *engga cihuy? emang*
lanjut lanjut, gue mulai berani fill in pada virtual instrument. kadang ngakak aja kalo inget.
lalu lanjut ke nilai eartraining yang makin gemilang seperti gilang ramadhan *lebaay* pokoknya nilai bagus pendengaran bagus saya senang guru senang.

teringat ingat lagi..
pengaruhnya besar juga ke kehidupan sehari hari gw. contoh: nilai listening yang alhamdulillah selalu bagus, dapat mendengar gosip dgn mudah dan lain lain.

tapi mungkin ga si, gara gara itu juga saya jadi cenderung ngejiplak motif lagu yg saya suka? hmm.
only god and pakar knows man..
AHAHAHAHA

ahaha.
btw kemaren akhirnya gw lulus placement test gw yg kedua. seneeng bgt. sekarang gw lagi ngeliat anak anak stage performance '08 joget joget. wuaaa :)
anyhow, sejauh ini i'm doing great. uts gw lumayan, iyah lumayanlaah dibanding dulu dulu.

ekonomi > 73,33 peringkat 20an
b.ing > 68,9 peringkat 7 *grr*
math > 55,5 peringkat 12
agama > 82 peringkat 11

so far so good kecuali math yang emang minta digampar ituh. katanya si bakal ada tes ulang mengingat nilainya pada ancur.

ehm, lalu kejadian tolol hari ini, gue yang agak dodol ini tadi ber ka-es aka kerja sama brg egar.
yg ada bkn gw nanya egar, malah dia nanya gw. uda gt terjadi beberapa miskomunikasi mengingat egar duduk di dpan pak gun, si pengawas.
udah gt, si egar pake acara ngeganti nama gw jadi ija biar pengawasnya ga curiga. yang ada ketika praktiknya gw nyangka si egar manggil ija beneran. tololnya saya. jadilah acara KS itu gagal total huahaha.

ini cerita yang sangat ga cihuy hari ini. setelah gw berbicara dengan KAKAK KELAS PALING GANTENG SEJAGAT RAYA, i found that gw belum ngerjain pr sitimur(paruh)baya. sebel. padahal gw privat hari ini.pulang nyampe rumah, eh guru gw yg ajaib itu udah ada di rumah dgn metronome noraknya yang pengen bgt gw lempar ke kutub utara. itu tuh metronome yg bisa bunyi suara ANEEHH.
padahal siang tadi gw abis curhat sama tanu yg dulu pernah diajar sama ossa sungkar yg tampan bin keren lagi baik hati. tragis bener gw dapetnya karung beras tukang teori rock n roll.

udah gitu gw pake acara jatoh dari kursi drum yg setelah 1 setengah taun gw beli baru gw sadar kursinya kaga punya senderan. tolol..
saking kebiasanya pake si rmv merah..
gw jadi lupa kalo stage custom itu kursinya original. brengsek. kalo rmv gw kan kursinya dempet tembok. tolol. dan gw kejengkang gt aja. cerdas abis.

review : junon solo drum TIDAK BERKEMBANG

aduuh sedihnya. kemarin tiba-tiba one of my tutor, mr.steven bilang, "i don't see something new from your play. it's exactly the same thing as you does in your last stage.."
setidak berkembangnya gue kah itu? soalnya terakhir kali gue ngejam sama mr.steven adalah sekitar 3 bulan yang lalu. oh sh*t.
yah ada faktor-faktor cedera juga sih. cuma kok kayaknya emang skill gue stuck disini atau gimana?? masalahnya gue masih belajar untuk menekan batasan-batasan permainan gue.
tapi kemaren gue nemu skill baru: main drum sambil ngescream..
bego lu.

anyway inilah nilai midterm gue..

total score A *another perfect score i guess :)*

reading A
technic A
style A+
latin A- *nggak pernah bagus yah kayaknya*
session play A
skill play A
solo drum A+

nilainya turun.. huhuhuukks. maaf ya pak gilang, nilaiku turun lagi..

6 PEDAL STILL ON!! TUNGGU! GUE PASTI BISAAAA!!!
