Continuing my earlier posting about music field, I post another short writing about the world of music career.This is another posting of mine that hopefully will broaden our knowledge in music. In my perspective, generally, music field offers you 4 departments of musical career, and those departments are: - Music education - Music production - Music performance - Music business consultant/ management/ professionals. Every department offers you varieties of job in music field. What we might think that music is just about playing music, it is actually offers a lot more than that. We can continue our discussion after this posting. First, I would like to know your respond:)
 | musik bikin hidup lebih hidup maylaf... |
 | karena saya bekerja di label, jadi lebih di music business consultant.
di band saya everybody loves irene, saya sudah 3 tahun menjadi synthesizer player dan manager
satu lagi.. sekarang saya mencoba mendalami sesuatu yang baru: MUSIC RESEARCHER. mencoba meriset semua aspek di dalam industri musik indonesia |
 | - Music performance
Saya suka pertunjukan musik, lebih hidup dan interaktif...
:p |
| i wrote some case study about music industry in Indonesia. like piracy and digital trends among us. now, im writing about how to sell digital music like full track download in indonesia for my master degree thesis.
one thing. what indonesian need is education. music education. music education is not about chords and partitur... but how to respect each other.
|
| thx mba fay. i need support from everybody who loves music. nanti pasti akan ada kuisioner |
 | How about music publication?
i'm a freelance CD cover designer, so i might be on the field :D |
 | I like both music education and performance. :P
I don't do commercial performances, tapi disini aku join local symphony orchestra, and I love it! :)
oh yea.. I love teaching little kids too ... :) |
 | music busniess consultant/management buat g lebih menarik soalnya kan lebih ke arah konseptor |
 | well, i guess i'm a musician maid.
saya mencarikan minuman mineral yang merknya harus sesuai dengan rider. saya mengambilkan handuk yang ketinggalan di kursi drum. saya menjadwalkan kapan kamar dibuka dan didistribusikan konsumsi. saya mengantar mereka ke toilet. saya memasangkan cardigan sebelum mereka tampil. saya mencarikan peniti jika kostum mereka ada bagian yang lepas. saya mencarikan gulungan kabel supaya mereka bisa make-up. dan tentu, yang sering sekali saya lakukan adalah memasangkan kertas berisi lirik di monitor panggung untuk mereka. kejadian terakhir sama seorang penyanyi wanita, saya ngebut 30 menit di nusa dua bali bolak-balik untuk memasangkan itu. haha.
i guess i'm a musician maid. bahasa kerennya, liaison officer. dan sekarang saya baru resign dr kerjaan itu. :) |
 | yeeaahh..Long Live every Production Maid....... :)) naynyi gw ngga bisa, alat musik juga engga, ya bisanya jadi kuli produksi ajah dear....btw..how are you? |
 | tau buku 'Moving up in the music business gak?" bagus tuh! =) |
 | bisa jadi Super Manager ;> |
| An... What you did was very important.
Riders are there for a reason. I happen to have quite a cozy office to work in, and am privileged to know that certain things will be there for sure, such as:
- I know what time I'm supposed to come in, and how late I can be before I get yelled at
- I know that the internet connection will be there when I put down my laptop and plug the LAN cable in
- I know the glass of water on my desk was just filled an hour before
- I know that I can always order Bubur Ayam from around the corner for Rp 6.000
- There's a Circle K next door for me to buy snacks and other logistics to keep me going for the day.
As a performer, each venue and each event is a different place. Each one poses so many x-factors that could potentially harm a performance, such as:
- spoiled food or water that could cause poisoning
- food too spicy could cause diarrhea
- toilet not clean enough
- too many people walking around, and no security: things could get stolen
- performers cannot rest or concentrate before show because too many distractions
A great show requires great teamwork. Let's give a big round of applause for the people who work PROFESSIONALLY behind the scene.

 | From my perspective, accomplished musicians are those who do their job professionally and also enjoy it. No one would be out of ordinary without the passion, and I believe it applies to any other fields too. :)
Hehe, this might have nothing to do with what you and selectapop are defining as "respecting each other", but to tell you the truth, in my field area, there is always a scent of rivalry here between the professionals, teachers, performers, etc.. Lol.. |
|  saya pengen jadi LO, huhuhu..kapan ya ada yg nawarin..  gabung sama EO, dong. jangan tunggu ditawarin. haha. bisa mulai dr EO kecil, menangani artis kecil. kalo udah ada jam terbang, lakukanlah yang banyak dilakukan kru EO kebanyakan : jadi pecun.
serius. selain nambah jam terbang, honor pecun bisa lebih tinggi. oh ya pecun maksudnya freelancer. kalo jam terbang udah banyak, sering ketemu performer yang itu2 lagi, lama2 jadi akrab sama artisnya/manajernya. lama-lama hafal ridernya. seperti kalo gue megang Helena, udah tau, 5 menit sebelum dia naik panggung semua smoke gun harus mati, supaya pas dia di panggung gak ada asap lagi. she's alergic. hal kecil, tapi kalo alerginya dateng dia gak bisa nyanyi?
so i must tell you, it's a tough tough job. harus bisa gerak cepat, mikir cepat. kalo apa yang ada di rider itu sifatnya membantu. gak perlu mikir dia minumnya apa, makannya apa, pake handuk apa, kan? membantu. tapi di lapangan ada banyak kejutan yang kalo salah nanganin bisa fatal.
once, gue harus anterin dewi persik ke toilet, pdhal dia udah di bakstage. lalu lintas belakang panggung yang nyelip sana sini harus bener2 hafal. udah nembus salon sebelah, toiletnya mati dan harus ke toilet umum. begitu buka pintu salon, an melihat orang banyak, dewi langsung cemas dan uhm, rewel. itulah saatnya, harus menjadi 'tameng hidup' buat si artis dari keroyokan dan pertanyaan dan macam2 lagi tindakan orang yang tak terduga. termasuk bernegoisasi dengan mbak2 yang udah ngantri duluan di toilet tersebut, supaya si artis dapet masuk ke toilet duluan.
ribet ya? iya. tapi gue seneng. most artist will happily thank you, if you've done your job PROFESIONALLY. and that's makes me happy. gue resign karena butuh waktu istirahat lebih banyak di rumah, hehehe. karena semuanya capek. badan capek, otak capek, mulut capek. waktu istirahat cuma kalo artis udah ada di atas panggung, disitu deh, seperti kata Melanie Soebono, bisa selonjorin kaki. dan gak bisa nonton juga. banyak yang pengen jadi LO supaya bisa nonton gratis, pdhal sih gak ada waktu untuk itu. :) |

 | Saya bermusik agar dapat sampai ke telinga dan hati pendengar. Itu target. Saya taruh musik di internet dan silakan siapa saja boleh menikmati >> http://amp.channelv.com/dana dll. Perkara apakah ada fihak yang bersedia mempublikasikan tentu saja saya terbuka menerima tawaran dari manapun. Demo musik sudah mencukupi, mungkin sudah sampai 2-3 album. Fokus sekarang adalah ke hal lain, take a break, sambil sesekali menambah koleksi musik/lagu dan kapanpun ada permintaan recording, saya siap kembali kerja siang malam seperti dahulu waktu bikin rekaman demo bareng Hena & Heni (si kembar backing vocal) di studio rumah. Kalau Mbak Maylaf tertarik kita bisa bicarakan. Segala format memungkinkan untuk dikerjakan tentunya setelah didiskusikan terlebih dahulu. Sekaligus ini pengumuman untuk yang lainnya. Peace on Earth, Dan |
