  • Bio

    .... English.... Three years have passed since the release of “Delta Indonesia”, the debut album from Adrian Adioetomo, but the blues craze have only just begun. Under the label-namesake MySeeds records, Adrian released his album back in 2007. This album marked a statement of individuality among the Indonesian music scene, which seemed to have been divided by two; The Industry, and the Independent. .... .... Based on the delta-blues of the 1930’s, Delta Indonesia rogued away from any genres that have previously settled in Indonesia. ‘Delta’ is in no way a mainstream album, but neither it is a typical “indie” release of post-alternative music. This album is filled with delta-grit, lonesome singing, tricky slide-guitar playing, and downright gut-felt lyrics. The decidedly ‘vintage’ production aims more towards a stature of replica than to declare anything ‘retro’. Elected as one of the best albums to come out in 2007 by Rolling Stone Indonesia magazine, Delta Indonesia presented the wide audience with an intervention between the 1930 Mississippi and pre-independent Indonesia. .... .... Recently, the blues-craze is sweeping the nation. It’s a trend built up from the accumulation of collective-interests in a genre not popular among the pop-culture industry. But curiosity lead the way to a brand new search of a century-old music, and Adrian has managed to present prime sampler in his first album late 2007. His performances are also a testament of this pioneering effort. Without a doubt, the blues craze has been a blessing in disguise for Adrian. Many now seek to watch his performance wanting to know what the blues would be like onstage without questioning the kind of music he’s playing. .... .... Hype aside, Adrian will always try to present the music as he only knows how. And that is to channel the blues in its spirit and its most pure essence. Not just to rely on the staple rhythm and scales per-se, but also to express the feeling and inspiration in new and more explorative way. One can hope to see that coming, hopefully in his second album to be released during the dry season of 2010 (around March). .... .... .... Bahasa Indonesia.... Tiga tahun telah berlalu sejak dirilisnya “Delta Indonesia”, album pertama Adrian Adioetomo, tapi demam ‘blues’ baru saja mulai. Di bawah nama MySeeds records, Adrian mengeluarkan albumnya di akhir 2007 silam. Album ini menandakan pernyataan yang mandiri di belantara musik Indonesia yang seolah-olah terbagi menjadi dua; industri dan independen. .... .... Didasari musik delta-blues tahun ‘30an, Delta Indonesia ‘memberontak’ dari semua jenis musik yang telah mapan di Indonesia. ‘Delta’ jelas bukan album mainstream, tetapi juga bukan seperti album “indie” pasca-alternative yang lain. Album ini penuh ‘lumpur’ delta, nyanyian yang menyendiri, permainan gitar slide yang cerdik, dan lirik yang terasa sampai ulu-hati. Produksinya yang sengaja dibuat ‘kuno’ lebih mengarah kepada tujuan untuk menjadi replika daripada menjadi “retro”. Terpilih sebagai salah-satu album terbaik yang keluar di th 2007 oleh majalah Rolling Stone Indonesia, Delta Indonesia menghadiahkan khalayak pendengar dengan sebuah pertemuan antara Mississippi th 1930 dengan Indonesia pra-kemerdekaan. .... .... Belakangan ini, demam-blues melanda negeri. Ini merupakan tren yang terbangun dari akumulasi ketertarikan bersama pada sebuah jenis musik yang tidak terlalu populer di industri budaya pop. Namun keingin-tahuan menuntun sebuah pencarian baru akan musik yang usianya hampir seabad ini, dan Adrian telah menghasilkan contoh prima di album pertamanya di akhir 2007. Penampilan panggungnya juga merupakan bukti-petuah dari usahanya yang mendahului. Memang tidak diragukan lagi, demam-blues ini telah menjadi berkah terselubung bagi Adrian. Kini banyak yang ingin melihat penampilannya untuk mengetahui seperti apa musik blues di panggung tanpa bertanya-tanya lagi tentang musik ini. .... .... Kemeriahan publikasi kita tinggalkan dulu, Adrian akan tetap mencoba mempersembahkan musik dengan cara yang ia tahu. Dan itu adalah dengan ‘menyalurkan’ spirit dan esensi dari blues itu sendiri. Tidak hanya melulu mengandalkan ritem dan tangga nada blues saja, tetapi juga mengekspresikan perasaan dan inspirasinya dengan cara baru dan lebih eksploratif. Hal ini sangat ditunggu dari penampilan album ke-dua nya yang direncanakan untuk dirilis pada musim kemarau 2010 (sekitar bulan Maret). .... .... ©Myseeds Records, 2008 .... ....Discography:.... .... ..Delta Indonesia (2007, MySeeds Records).. .... ...... .... ..Available at:.. .... ....Jakarta:..
