we pretty much got our influences from all genres of music.
We started out as two friends working on a soundtrack project for an indie movie until we finally thought to step forward and be rigid with the music that we created together for the movie. We've known each other for quite a while before we jumped into the business. We played with our friends at several gigs in campus, played all kinds of songs that we randomly chose, and helped each other in any musical stuffs. But then we realized... wowh! we do have the same passion and belief towards ethnic music (world music), Indonesian ethnic music in particular. and so we thought to make a distinction in our music by fusing the general pop and electronic with that feel of ethnicity.
We both got our influences from all kinds of genres because we both pretty much listen to all kinds of music. But our most influential artists are: The Album Leaf, Chrisye, Anggun, Cut Copy, Sheila Chandra, etc. We believe that we can always learn everything and grasp each bits into our own meaning and interpret that into our music..
Since band's birth, we have played in several gigs, such as:
Limkokwing campus's events (Heal the World, and break fast dinner gathering), Taylor College's cultural night event, and most of all, MerahPutih's (Limkokwing's Indonesian Student Association) events like the independence day celebration, cultural event, and many acoustic performances).. Our biggest achievement yet was to become one of the soundtrack artists for an indie movie called "KainWarnaWarni" that was premiered in Indonesia at BlitzMegaplex for a week in July 2009; a movie about friendship, choice, and life in reality produced by a community of Indonesian students that studied in Malaysia called Teh O' Ais production..
Currently we are focusing on writing our music and to hopefully succeed in releasing a debut album, soon.. we hope that our music can bring a new beginning for everyone because we believe that music is not only to be listened, but to understand and make a difference in the world.
We are: Mirza Yudhistira (composer, songwriter)
Amanda Chitarra (vocal, songwriter)
We call ourselves, PARISUDE - pilihan jalan hidup.
