BERMAIN SELULOID BERSAMA LAB LABALABA

Lab LabaLaba mengajak kawankawan semua untuk bermain dan berkenalan kembali dengan seluloid. PAMERAN LAB LABALABA akan berlangsung setiap akhir pekan, dari 4 sampai 26 April 2015, di Perum Produksi Film Negara (PFN). Akan ada pameran, workshop seluloid, diskusi, tur laboratorium, dan pentas musik.

PAMERAN LAB LABALABA adalah wujud dari hasil berproses Lab LabaLaba selama setahun lebih di PFN. Hampir setiap minggu, sekumpulan anak muda ini meberdayakan kembali laboratorium di gedung bersejarah itu: bereksperimen dengan perangkat analog film, merumuskan larutan kimia untuk memproses pita seluloid, mendata materi audiovisual koleksi PFN, membersihkannya satu per satu, dan pada akhirnya mengkaryakan pengalaman mereka bermain dengan seluloid selama setahun lebih. Tidak semua anggota Lab LabaLaba pekerja atau pegiat film, tidak semua juga berlatarbelakang pendidikan teknik kimia.

Akan ada sebelas karya dari dua belas seniman: Edwin, Tumpal Tampubolon, Anggun Priambodo, Dyantini Adeline, Yovista Ahtajida, Rizki Lazuardi, Fransiskus Adi Pramono, Ruddy Hatumena, Luftan Nur Rochman, Ari Dina Krestiawan, Anton Ismael, dan MG Pringgotono. Semuanya mengkaryakan seluloid dalam beragam bentuk—rekaman audiovisual, animasi, instalasi.

Melengkapi semua itu ada sajian kuliner dari Warung Pa’e serta sajian musik hasil kurasi Pepaya Records yaitu: Mondo Gascaro, Adrian Adioetomo, Glovvess, Crayola Eyes, Neowax, Napolleon, Alahad Lbn, Radioage, Kracoon, Animalism, MMS, Future Collective, dan Bin Idris.

PAMERAN LAB LABALABA merupakan bagian dari program Mengalami Kemanusiaan, yang dibuka dengan acara FILM MUSIK MAKAN pada 21 Maret lalu di GoetheHaus Jakarta. Selama bulan April juga, bersamaan dengan pameran ini, ada program pemutaran #KOLEKTIFJAKARTA di Kineforum DKJ, Taman Ismail Marzuki. Diputar tiga film pendek terbaru babibutafilm hasil kolaborasi dengan Hivos Institute: The Fox Exploits the Tiger’s Might karya Lucky Kuswandi, Kisah Cinta yang Asu karya Yosep Anggi Noen, dan Sendiri Diana Sendiri karya Kamila Andini. Ada juga filmfilm Indonesia kontemporer macam Siti karya Eddie Cahyono dan Tabula Rasa karya Adriyanto Dewo, serta film klasik macam Istana Kecantikan karya Wahyu Sihombing dan Suci Sang Primadona karya Arifin C Noer.

ARGENTINA: Zonaindie
Los Tiros – Autocontrol
In the past weeks we’ve been listening to Denso y Moderno, the first album by Los Tiros, in a non-stop loop. This band from Quilmes, a city in Greater Buenos Aires, delivers a pop-rock sound with lots of synthesizers and optimistic lyrics. The album has 11 tracks, all potential hits, and Autocontrol is one of them.

AUSTRALIA: Who The Bloody Hell Are They?
A Dead Forest Index – Cast Of Lines
Cast Of Lines is the new 12″ by Melbourne’s A Dead Forest Index. Released recently through Pop Noire (the label run by Savages’ Jehnny Beth), title track Cast Of Lines is an expansive, meditative piece – a precursor for the band’s unique sound palette which has been praised abroad.

CANADA: Ride The Tempo
TMPL – Voyij
TMPL are a relatively new electro-pop duo from Toronto made up of Kevin O’Brien and singer-songwriter Eli Andreas. By new, I mean they have this one song out called Voyij that takes you on an expansive journey of sounds that gets more exciting at every corner.

CHILE: Super 45
Histéricos – Misplaced, Displaced
They chose the right name to express their no-limits energy and rage. Histéricos is a four-piece rock band that always trusts in a good melody and have some clever things to say. At the end of 2013 they released their debut album Misplaced, Displaced (Algo Records) and here we present the title track dedicated to “the ones who get it wrong. The losers, the outsiders. To those who suffered loss and regret. To those who question why”, as they write in their manifesto.

COLOMBIA: El Parlante Amarillo
Los Elefantes – Yo Soy Un Gigoló
The life of the Colombian capital is reflected by the Jamaican music, mainly ska, that Los Elefantes have made for more than 18 years. Feeling independence as a way of life, they are releasing their fourth album, Grandes Exitos de Otros, from which we present the song Yo Soy Un Gigoló, a classic version of Just A Gigolo/I Ain’t Got Nobody, with the lyrics touched by irony.

DENMARK: All Scandinavian
Blaue Blume – In Disco Lights
Released a few months back, Blaue Blume’s official EP debut, Beau & Lorette, is bold, ambitious and almost always compelling, not least thanks to mighty songs like Lost Sons Of Boys and MAP exclusive download In Disco Lights.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: La Casetera
TipiHop Project – Suéltame Que Bailo Solo
TipiHop Project’s mission is to blend Dominican native genres with modern electronic and hip-hop rhythms. Anyone who’s had the opportunity to dance a fast-paced merengue would argue that is nearly impossible to slow it down, but the guys behind TipiHop found a way in Suéltame Que Bailo Solo, the instrumental opener of their first album. The namesake LP has been brewing for almost three years, but now they’re ready to show their musical richness.

ECUADOR: Plan Arteria
Sweet Sandra – Nakkked
Sweet Sandra is a trio based in Quito who use distortion, electronic bits and punk. Their first release, Nasty Disco, is an album of 10 songs. Nakked has heartbreaking screams between the twisted outbursts of drum machine.

FINLAND: Glue
Cats Of Transnistria – San Francisco
Formed earlier in the year, Cats Of Transnistria is an exciting blend of dream-pop vocals and fuzzy, psyched guitar and keys by the duo of Henna Emilia Hietamäki and Tuomas Alatalo. The band has just released its first recording produced by Black Lizard’s guitarist/vocalist Paltsa-Kai Salama.

FRANCE: Your Own Radio
Andrea – More To Me
From Paris’ indie electronic scene, Andrea plays beats like a surgeon – meticulously. More To Me is the perfect song to chill out to in bed on a Sunday morning. Andrea is also the kind of crazy guy who has a project to produce a sample each day during a month – take a listen to Day 4, which samples Sam Smith.

GREECE: Mouxlaloulouda
Pete Sun – Ocean (You)
Drawing influence from sun, sea, urban life and relationships, Pete Sun’s sublime third EP, Phantom Express, contains three shimmering lo-fi, romantic dream-pop songs to hold close to your heart. With his simple, poetic, yet sensitive lyrics and an intimate voice that’s as if he’s whispering a secret into your ear, Pete Sun creates a beautiful scenery to lose yourself in.

INDONESIA: Deathrockstar
Napolleon – Rendezvous
After a long musical journey, young Bayu Andrianto’s decision to put reverb on vocals and guitar resulted in raw, space-rock songs. They have been talked about amongst music enthusiasts in Indonesia for the past few months, with hotly-anticipated performances and an album to look forward to.

IRELAND: Hendicott Writing
Blooms – If I
Blooms’ euphoric yet mellow style of ambient electronica is the brainchild of Louise Cunnane, an Irish woman based in London. The If EP features toned-down flow, soaring soundscapes and stunning vocals, recalling the 5am bliss-out at the end of a manic beach party. If I, the free-to-download EP’s standout track, builds on subtle R&B influences to create a memorable early effort. Cunnane’s delicate potential is abundant and beautiful.

JAPAN: Make Believe Melodies
Left Right Arms – Rest
Rest is a song that comes across as though it was recorded under blankets, like the driving sonic aim was to imagine what someone breathing on your neck sounded like. Fitting, considering Left Right Arms records everything from his bedroom in Tokyo, the close quarters coming across clearly in this woozy, ultimately vulnerable moment.

MALTA: Stagedive Malta
TroffaHamra y Los Mechones – Donde Estás Tú
TroffaHamra (Ruth Abela) is a Maltese singer-songwriter who went travelling to Barcelona in 2010 and ended up staying there. Not much later she formed her band TroffaHamra y Los Mechones, in which she sings and plays guitar, together with four Catalan musicians. Together, and due to their different musical backgrounds, they created an original sound. TroffaHamra’s songwriting is fresh and sincere, and influenced by life experiences and strong emotions. The style of the band sways between swing, bossa nova, folk and Western ska – a mixture of sounds, languages and moods.

MEXICO: Red Bull Panamérika
Navukodonozorg – The Goat Of Zachary
He may not be the king of Babylon, but he could well take the throne of Mexican electronica. He may not be named after Morpheus’ rebellion ship in The Matrix, but his music will surely take you on a trip through a decadent post-industrial underworld. Hailing from Veracruz in the Gulf of Mexico, Navukodonozorg unleashes a work full of dirty bass, complex rhythms and nonsense melodies. Take the ‘red pill’ and submerge in this fabulous futuristic wonderland.

PERU: SoTB
Catervas – Atemporal
Catervas is one of Peru’s most beloved and essential bands. Their long career, embodied in three albums, has contributed some great indie rock with melodies full of excitement and inspiration. This year the band will release their fourth album; Atemporal is its first single, a nostalgic song that honors the classic sound of Catervas.

PORTUGAL: Posso Ouvir Um Disco?
Moullinex – Love Magnetic
Moullinex is the project of Luis Clara Gomes, a DJ with a remarkable body of work as a producer. His first album as Moullinex, Flora, was released in 2012 and, following two EPs in 2013, a new album is due at the end of this year, which Love Magnetic is an appetizer for. When not working as Moullinex, Luis keeps himself busy remixing other artists (Cut Copy, Sébastien Tellier, Two Door Cinema Club, WhoMadeWho) and managing the label DiscoTexas which he co-founded.

PUERTO RICO: Puerto Rico Indie
fAi – I Thought The World
fAi is a new project from producer/composer Hector “Stonetape” Hernández and singer Beatriz Faísca. They recently released their first single, the catchy and sweet I Thought The World, a generous slice of perfect summer indie-pop that promises great things from the duo. Stonetape continues to demonstrate his studio chops throughout the song, achieving a confident and measured production, while Beatriz truly surprises with a voice equally mature and flirtatious.

ROMANIA: Babylon Noise
The Boy Who Cried Wolf – It’s Just A Rebel, Sir!
The Boy Who Cried Wolf started their activity when members of two local bands (CHESTER and Breathelast) from Bucharest collided, with a mission to write some tunes that would better react to their primal needs to play wild, fast-paced metal combined with hardcore/punk vibes. In 2013, The Boy Who Cried Wolf released their first debut record, Bad Time Stories, available from Bandcamp as a pay-what-you-want download.

SCOTLAND: The Pop Cop
Foreignfox – Yoghurt
No matter how much you think you’re ready for it, the song Foreignfox introduced themselves to the world with, Yoghurt, still knocks you sideways. The raw, stomach-knotting emotion of Jonny Watt’s struggle to come to terms with his father’s cancer diagnosis is unravelled in lyrics of rare candour, backed with some sweeping guitar work and a suitably tear-inducing promo video. Foreignfox’s debut EP, We Float Like Sinking Ships, is available on Bandcamp.

SOUTH KOREA: Indieful ROK
Messgram – My Funeral
Messgram markets themselves as a modern heaviness hailing from Korea. They put out their first EP a few months ago and recently finished third in the Korean leg of the Redbull Live On The Road competition. With a female vocalist, the style often reminisces the popular gothic metal-influenced bands of the early 00s, but rather than sounding dated, Messgram gets a special edge by blending it with post-hardcore. My Funeral perfectly exhibits this exciting combination.

SPAIN: Musikorner
Cumbres Carrascosa – Minimum Sacrifice
Cumbres Carrascosa is the side-project of Miguel Cámara, from The Fruhstucks, and one of the nation’s breakthrough artists of 2014. His music is a blend of psychedelia and the-darkest-chillwave-ever, as you can tell by listening to Minimum Sacrifice, a mesmerizing yet unsettling tune.

UNITED STATES: We Listen For You
Conveyor – Theme XIII (Edit)
Brooklyn’s Conveyor has recently released a fascinating double LP where they reimagine the score for the cult film THX 1138. These expansive soundscapes creep into your brain and create the most perfect moments of sonic serenity.

01. Gold Thief – Farewell (Semarang)

“Single “Farewell” ini dirilis tepat setahun tragedi kecelakan yang menimpa sang vokalis/gitaris Gold Thief, alm. Krido Priambodo dan stage manager Gold Thief, alm. Rio T.A. Dan dirilisnya single ini bulan Mei kemarin, bertujuan khusus untuk mengenang sekaligus mengumumkan kalau Gold Thief akan kembali eksis dengan formasi dan konsep baru setelah vakum sekiranya satu tahun. Tapi sebelum masuk ke babak berikutnya, kita simak dulu lagu “Farewell” sebagai perpisahan, dimana mendiang Krido bernyanyi dengan murung dibaluti musik folk pop minimalis. Selamat jalan, kawan.”—Andi Fitriono

02. Origin Name – Living In The Highest Place (Solo)

“Origine Name sendiri merupakan alias dari one man standing Ezra Nugroho. Belum banyak yang paham dengan project ini namun konon sebuah album siap untuk diluncurkan Origine Name. Sebuah single Living In Highest Place didaulat menjadi materi perkenalan sebelumnya. Kalau pertama kali mendengarkan, alangkah lebih baik dengan mempertajam indera pendengar sebelum memulai materi ini. Jujur tampaknya bukan lagu yang mudah untuk diperdengarkan dengan sekilas. Tarik menarik antara Shoegaze, Postrock, dan Britpop membuat menjadi mengambang. Selebihnya nikmati saja materinya dan rasakan sensasi tinggal di perbukitan.”—Ekawan Raharja

03. Head Crusher – Molotov (Surabaya)

“Single pertama serta track keempat dari EP “Keos” yang baru saja rilis pertengahan Mei kemarin ini, bercerita tentang hari penyerangan musuh. Musuh ini yaitu sistem yang selama ini merasa tertindas. Molotov sendiri sebagai symbol perjuangan rakyat kelas bawah yang mana mereka tidak mungkin bisa memiliki senjata yang sama seperti yang dimiliki oleh pemerintah.”—Emirul Fahmi Fanshuri

04. Napolleon – Rendevouz (Bandung)

“Bayu Adrianto vokalis dari band ini adalah adik kelas gua sewaktu SMA. Di masa tumbuh berkembangnya itu gua sudah melihat dia membuat musik bersama teman-temannya dengan mengusung genre Rock And Roll, memang pada tahun yang2009 kota Bandung sedang ramai oleh band Rock And Roll seperti The S.I.G.I.T dan Speaker First juga The Changcuters. Sudah lamanya kami tidak berjumpa dan akhirnya gw melihatnya bermain musik lagi dengan format berbeda di panggung kecil acara farewell dari band Vincent Vega yang sementara akan vakum karena sang vokalis harus melanjutkan studi di Jerman. Gue hanya tersenyum ketika melihat Bayu Adrianto memainkan musiknya karena apa yang gw lihat sekarang bukanlah sosok Bayu Adrianto remaja yang menelan mentah apa yang dia suka kemudian membuatnya ulang, sosok Bayu Adrianto dalam bandnya Napolleon adalah sosok yang sudah cukup kaya hatinya untuk memutuskan musik apa yang akan dia buat. Entah pengalaman apa yang terjadi padanya sampai bisa membuat musik yang boleh dibilang sangat jarang bunyian ini terdengar di kota Bandung. Ya, tidak usah panjang lebar lagi mari kita simak saja teman.”—Gagi Aria Alembana Fatkhurahman

05. Oneding – Menangis Riang (Malang)

“Albertus Prima Karuniargo Oneding. Orang yang biasa Anda temui di Malang. Dalam setiap kesempatan, mc gig, dan di beberapa band. Lucu dan seksi. Ramah dan hangat. Pernah bermusik bersama dengan Suster Clinic dan Andjoeran Pengoeasa. Sekarang masih aktif di My Beautiful Life dan Snickers And The Chicken Fighter. Sekarang dia merintis jalan solo karir untuk kebebasan kreatif dan lagu catchy yang tulus. Sering juga ditemani tandem bermusiknya seorang cellist handal malang Octavianus Triangga. Lagu – lagu dari Oneding adalah lagu – lagu yang bersahabat dengan alam dan perasaan, sekali dengar langsung bisa singalong.”—Akhmad Alfan Rahadi

06. Half Eleven Pm – Delusion (Yogyakarta)

“Duo yang bisa dibilang baru di skena musik Jogja ini datang dengan membawa jenis musik yang bisa dibilang belum terlalu populer di kota ini. Suasana gloomy secara sukses di hadirkan oleh balutan vokal dari Aniisa Ramadhani. Lagu ini menceritakan tentang manusia yang menciptakan dunianya sendiri karena merasa asing dengan keberadaannya di lingkungan sosial.”—Komang Adhyatma

07. The Wellington – Thousand Yards (Jakarta)

“Menarik adalah ketika mendengar pertama kali The Wellington di split single bersama Sharespring yang membalikan memori era kejayaan Sarah Records. “Thousand Yards” sendiri bercerita tentang seorang teman mereka yang gagal membina rumah tangga bersama perempuan idaman. Bawasannya, patah hati, kegagalan, ataupun jatuh cinta memang sudah menjadi formula dasar dalam musikalitas band setipe mereka. Band yang berbasis di Depok kini konsisten terdiri dari Hanzalah Usaidi, Rinaldi Aban, Riftyza Gestandi, Feizal Akbar, dan Rizky Ocktadinanta. Dengan nada-nada indie-pop—menyerempet sedikit ke shoegaze—saya pun menganjurkan untuk mendengar lagu ini ditemani sebotol bir dingin sore hari.”—Robby Wahyudi Onggo
