Balada Perserikatan 06:07
lyrics
No. 4 - Balada Perserikatan (Union Ballad) BAHASA INDONESIA: Ombak itu mengaum Pfffttttt… Tak lupa dia menelan kerupuk yang retak Tapi dia luput kalau itu melempem Sang saudagar datang lalu membeli sebuah emas Sepetak dia menyalami si ombak itu Pfffttttt… Saudagar kemudian menyalami ombak itu Dan lagi-lagi ombak itu lupa Bahwa saudagar kempat-kempot menahan asapnya Lalu cicak pun berjalan melompat seperti belalang Kemudian dia menampar ombak sehingga dia jatuh terpental Menelan tembakau tak sengaja sluurrp.. Lupa kalau saudagar ternyata sedang ngompol di tempat Dan dia lupa juga emasnya telah berubah menjadi kelabang Yang kemudian digoreng Sekarang mereka semua kemudian menyatu bersinergi Menjadi sebuah perserikatan dari anomali-anomali dunia (anak kecil menangis) Hey ada burung! Burung itu ternyata sedang membawa seorang bayi Dia, ternyata sedang lelah mendengarkan bayi tersebut Memprotes tiap pergerakan kepakan sayapnya, sembari melihat para perserikatan itu Sang burung kemudian terbang membawa kabur bayi tersebut Pada sebuah lumbung yang isinya adalah kardus-kardus palsu Hmmrrgghhngngrhhrg.. Hahhhkkk Pengap dia terasa bayi tersebut tak bisa bernafas secara lega Dikarenakan lumbung tersebut selain daripada adanya kardus palsu tersebut Ternyata ada juga tukang roti panggang Mengepul asapnya tak sadar kalau bayi tersebut sedang batuk-batuk Namun tiba-tiba si kodok ternyata kempat-kempot menghisap asap tersebut Dengan sepenuh tenaga sssuuuuspppp..huuuhhh..hiuuuhhh..hiuhhhh Kembali ke ombak yang awalnya tadi dia sudah dibicarakan Namun kita lupakan Seben sebentar seb seb seben sebentar (sssiupppppppppp) Kemudian ombak itu mengaum lagi Heiieqgh Kemudian ombak itu mengaum lagi Heiiqgh Kemudian ombak tersebut pelan pelan mengarungi samudra nya sendiri Keluar dari perserikatan yang sudah disepakati tadi Namun saudagar masih saja mengompol dicelananya menangis dia merengek menginginkan roti bakar yang ternyata berad-dilumbung! Ternyata, lumbung tadi tempat roti bakar dibalik kardus-kardus palsu tersebut Dibalik renungan seorang.. seorang.. seorang.. Bayi kecil yang lugu merindukan ombaknya. ENGLISH: The waves roar Pfffttttt… Don't forget to swallow the cracked crackers But he missed when it fizzled out The merchant came and bought a piece of gold He just shook hands with the wave Pfffttttt… The merchant then greeted the waves And again the wave forgot That the merchant was unable to hold back the smoke Then the lizard walked and jumped like a grasshopper Then he slapped the waves so that he fell backwards Swallowing tobacco accidentally sluurrp.. Forget that the merchant was peeing on the spot And he forgot that his gold had turned into centipedes Which is then fried Now they are all united in synergy Become a union of world anomalies (little child crying) Hey there birds! The bird turned out to be carrying a baby He, apparently was tired of listening to the baby Protesting every movement of its wings, while looking at the guilds The bird then flew away carrying the baby away In a barn filled with fake boxes Hmmrrgghhngngrhhrg.. Hahhhkkk Stuffy he felt the baby could not breathe easily Because the barn is apart from the existence of the fake cardboard Turns out there is also a baker toast Billowing smoke did not realize that the baby was coughing But suddenly the frog was sucking in the smoke all of a sudden With all the energy sssuuuuspppp..huuuhhh..hiuuuhhh..hiuhhhh Back to the wave he was talking about earlier But we forget Mome… moment… mom mom momen… (sssiup pppppppppp) Then the waves roar again Heiieqgh Then the waves roar again Heiiqgh Then the waves slowly wade through the ocean itself Get out of the union that was agreed upon earlier But the merchant still wet his pants crying he whined he wanted toast which turned out to be heavy-barn! As it turned out, the barn had been a place for toast behind the fake boxes Behind the reflections of a.. a.. a.. The innocent little baby misses the waves.

Pertemuan Serta Merta 07:05
lyrics
No. 5 - Pertemuan Serta Merta (Immediate Meeting) BAHASA INDONESIA: (tidak ada lirik) ENGLISH: (no lyrics)

about

“At the crossroads, within ambiguous boundaries,
Between words and strings, poetry and hallucinations,
Spontaneity and urgency,
Intimacy and distance
There is an inevitability or possibility.

We play unprepared
Laugh at, but also admire the flowing sounds,
Like an unconceived life,
But facts cannot be denied.”

- ALAKRITI (2023) -

A collaboration album of mine with Erie Setiawan, a guitarist, and musician. This album consists of 5 instant music composition tracks that we composed live without any plan at all. Improvising with any tools, instruments, lyrics and sounds that we could use.

The word “ALAKRITI” was adapted from the English word “alacrity”, treated with the Bahasa Indonesia pronunciation. Capturing the meaning from the word and trying to reflect it through our perception within the album itself. There are several unexpected moments that indirectly play a role in completing the musical events in each of the existing works.
