Press Release: Darryl Wezy
PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
SOLOIST
WITH CINEMATIC CONCEPT
Darryl Wezy, born in Jakarta, July 5th 1989 and grew up musically exposed since he was kid, influenced by his parents addiction towards 70s music. He found his passion in music after watching MTV in the 90s and he starts to collect cassettes ever since.
His stage name, Darryl Wezy, is a pseudonym name that he got when he was daydreaming at high school during recess time.
“There’s no reason why I chose Darryl Wezy, but I would like to use this name when I become a musician someday.” said this 22 years old musician.
He stated that his music has been influenced mostly by The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Mamas and The Papas, The Free Design, Pulp, Ash, The Cardigans, Weezer, The Concretes, The Lightning Seeds, The High Llamas, Sondre Lerche, Sufjan Stevens, SORE, and White Shoes And The Couples Company.
Darryl Wezy has just released his first single “Automatic High” on January 1st 2012 through site A Music Network and exclusively free download through http://bit.ly/automatichigh. “Automatic High” tells about how a person is facing a fake friendship and should be able to survive and find a new spirit in any way. The lyrics tend to be satire, because Darryl was trying to emphasize the disappointment without having to be over dramatic.
He announced the date release of his debut album might be around Spring 2012. The album will be titled “Maze of Fears”.
“Maze of Fears consists of 11 songs telling about how to encounter your fears in relationships, family, friendships, cultural issues, and how to gain self empowerment and motivation for ourselves.” explained Darryl.
The album was successfully realized after Darryl participated in A Music Network, music audition program, in which five acoustic songs offered by him successfully set aside tens of other participants. And now the five acoustic tracks have expanded to 11 songs arranged with producer Aghi Narottama (Janji Joni, KALA, The Forbidden Door, ONROP! Musikal, Negeri 5 Menara) and a string section assisted by Alvin Witarsa. In his live performances, Darryl Wezy will be performing in a full band consisted of Ganesha Pratama (Guitar), Ridwan Yuniardhika (Lead Guitar), Anzarra Djahran (Keyboard), Efra Pratama Harya (Bass), and Aidil Akbar (Drum).
Among the other bands and singers that have sprung up in the music industry Indonesia, Darryl Wezy is one of the soloists who dares to explore more in each arrangements in his songs. To describe the album may be described with the phrase: “The big dreams of a person arranged with Chamber Pop and a little touch of cinematic.”

Automatic High
The trees on the street
Laughing like the beasts
I’m begging they are dancing
Entertain me, and stop look at me like this
Some people are freaks
Being fake in friendships
I think I found what they need
I chose to leave and I’m going round and round
It’s gone, I’ll be fine
I could fly, and it’s automatic high
If it’s fine, I could say with my automatic mouth
The wind on the hills
It’s blowing my fear
Hysterical by self absorbed here!
You tout so gleam
And I started to scream like a kid
Somebody told me
I should be like this
Accepting what people think
It’s about me
And it’s just small things I could see
It’s gone, I’ll be fine
I could fly, and it’s automatic high
If it’s fine, I could say with my automatic mouth
I learn it everyday, I do!
If only I could say that it’s true
To stay in circle of these fools
If only I could breath, I’ve been through!
I can’t hold… anymore…
I’ve been through… for survive…
Without you… I will be just fine!
Laughing like the beasts
I’m begging they are dancing
Entertain me, and stop look at me like this
Some people are freaks
Being fake in friendships
I think I found what they need
I chose to leave and I’m going round and round
It’s gone, I’ll be fine
I could fly, and it’s automatic high
If it’s fine, I could say with my automatic mouth
The wind on the hills
It’s blowing my fear
Hysterical by self absorbed here!
You tout so gleam
And I started to scream like a kid
Somebody told me
I should be like this
Accepting what people think
It’s about me
And it’s just small things I could see
It’s gone, I’ll be fine
I could fly, and it’s automatic high
If it’s fine, I could say with my automatic mouth
I learn it everyday, I do!
If only I could say that it’s true
To stay in circle of these fools
If only I could breath, I’ve been through!
I can’t hold… anymore…
I’ve been through… for survive…
Without you… I will be just fine!

SOLOIST DENGAN
KONSEP SINEMATIS
Darryl Wezy, musisi muda asal Jakarta, baru saja merilis single pertamanya yang berjudul “Automatic High” secara limited free download yang bisa diakses mulai tanggal 1 Januari 2012 lewat situs A Music Network secara ekslusif dan tanggal 7 Januari baru akan disebar secara luas dan bisa diunduh gratis lewat situs Rollingstone Indonesia. Informasi mengenai ini bisa didapat di blog Darryl Wezy dan Twitter @darrylwezy. Lagu ini adalah single pertama dari album perdana Darryl Wezy yang baru saja selesai direkam dan dijadwalkan untuk rilis pada musim semi 2012. Lagu “Automatic High” sendiri bercerita tentang bagaimana seseorang menghadapi sebuah fake friendship dan harus bisa bertahan serta mencari semangat baru dengan cara apapun. Liriknya cenderung satir, karena berusaha menekankan kekecewaan tanpa harus dramatis.
Di antara banyaknya band-band dan penyanyi-penyanyi yang bermunculan di industri musik Indonesia, Darryl Wezy salah satu soloist indie yang berani untuk melakukan eksplorasi lebih dalam di setiap aransemen lagu-lagunya. Ia memberikan karakter yang unik di setiap ciptaannya dan masing-masing karakter tersebut juga memiliki kepribadian yang tidak sama satu dengan yang lainnya. Untuk mendeskripsikan album ini mungkin bisa dijelaskan dengan kalimat: “Mimpi-mimpi besar seseorang yang dibalut aransemen Baroque Pop dengan sedikit sentuhan cinematic…” Dari segi musikalitas, Darryl banyak mendapatkan pengaruh dari musik-musik Alternative, Britpop, Folk, dan juga Indie Pop seperti The Beatles, Ash, The Cardigans, Weezer, The Concretes, The Lightning Seeds, The High Llamas, Sondre Lerche, Sufjan Stevens, dan sebagainya.
Album ini berhasil diwujudkan setelah usaha Darryl Wezy berpartisipasi dalam sebuah program audisi di A Music Network, dimana lima lagu akustik yang ditawarkan olehnya berhasil menyisihkan puluhan peserta lain karena dinilai memiliki kualitas, potensi serta kejujuran bermusik oleh tim juri. Dan sekarang lima lagu akustik tersebut telah berkembang menjadi 11 lagu yang diaransemen ulang dengan produser Aghi Narottama (Janji Joni, KALA, Pintu Terlarang, ONROP! Musikal) dan string section dibantu oleh Alvin Witarsa. Dalam penampilan live-nya, Darryl Wezy tampil dengan konsep full band diperkuat oleh Ganesha (String Guitar), Ridwan Yuniardhika (Lead Guitar), Anzarra Djahran (Keyboard), Efra Pratama Harya (Bass), dan Aidil Akbar (Drum).

THE INTERRUPTERS A Film by Steve James and Alex Kotlowitz Kartemquin Films 2011
I’ve been waiting for this movie to be released as soon as possible in Jakarta. The only hope to see the movie screening in Jakarta might be Blitz Megaplex, but so far I didn’t see the schedule for this movie. If you are quite sensitive, I’d like to warn you about the trailer…. it’s very touchy and I’m so weak for the drama scenes in every documentary movie… :P
The story is about three violence interrupters who try to protect their Chicago communities from the violence they once employed (source: Wikipedia). My favorite character is Ameena, and you might be like her! Hmm… I think if Indonesia has a lot of people like her, this country will be better than before. We all know, we need a hero for this city, Jakarta. Suddenly I was thinking about something. It could be so sarcastic but here I am. After all, I’m looking forward to see another documentary film about Indonesia and its drama queen-capital city, Jakarta. But I think we won’t cry a lot as well as watching this movie, maybe we will laugh a lot about the ridiculous things that we have seen from this city. I don’t want to be so judgmental to my city, but I know I will get laugh a lot if there’s a documentary film about Jakarta. If you are wondering what I mean, don’t ask me. “Ask to the experts!”
Anyway, I like the tag-line for this movie, “Every city needs its heroes…”
Hmm maybe the suitable tag-line for documentary film about Jakarta city is….
“Ask the experts… :P”

Bjork’s Homogenic cover image designed by Alexander McQueen
Over his career, McQueen had gained quite a bit of attention for his collaborations with music artists (most recently with Lady Gaga, for whom he provided some of the otherworldly clothes for the “Bad Romance” video). One of his most notable came back in 1997, when McQueen designed the album cover for Björk’s game-changing Homogenic. The album was Björk’s first attempt to bridge the world of electronic music with more organic elements (including orchestral score and unusual applications of the human voice, both of which figure prominently on Homogenic’s hit singles “Joga” and “Bachelorette”), and she approached McQueen to try to capture the album’s icy, otherworldly cool in a cover image.
“When I went to Alexander McQueen, I explained to him the person who wrote these songs — someone who was put into an impossible situation, so impossible that she had to become a warrior,” Björk told the Chicago Sun-Times in 1998. “A warrior who had to fight not with weapons, but with love.” Though the cover appears to be a straight illustration, Björk actually posed for the image. “I had 10 kilos of hair on my head, and special contact lenses and a manicure that prevented me from eating with my fingers, and gaffer tape around my waist and high clogs so I couldn’t walk easily,” she said. “I wanted to put all the emotion of the album into that image.”
