architecture is frozen music

I love his thoughts.. Personally, I joined Loenpia Jazz for 3 years out of my passion in music show. I have been wanting to be involved in a music show and Allah SWT gave me the chance to join a music festival. Alhamdulillah. I learn, make more friends and bonds and I get connections too. I don't ask and I don't actually look for connections but it came to me as my relationship with Loenpia Jazz develops. I don't know if I'm allowed to say 'my relationship with LJ develops', I mean more like with the awesome people behind Loenpia Jazz every single year. I honestly never think I will do anything for Semarang.  I spent 21 years of my 24, living in this city. Though my love for Cimahi is bigger but I can't help to feel offensed when someone said Semarang is shitty or whatever haha and I kinda proud to say that I gave (very) tiny bit contribution for Semarang through Loenpia Jazz. Bravo, Mas Bagus! Bravo, Jazz Ngisorringin! Bravo, Loenpia Jazz! ...

So many bitter things we experienced during 2016. Whatever had happened, it was a very valuable lesson that is worth learning to do some improvement in 2017. Ranging from the smallest detail to the most basic framework. To anticipate problems that may arise, we create scheme as an evaluation of the scheme which has been used in managing Loenpia Jazz over the last 5 years. A wise man will not fall on the same hole. And yes, we continue to learn. The Scheme of Loenpia Jazz 2012 - 2016 The New Scheme of Loenpia Jazz (2017) Lastly, don't ask what your city and local government could give. Ask yourself what have you been doing along the way for the city and brings benefit to many people.

When an idealism began to compromise with many things, that's where the guts and maturity began in the test. It has been became a risk of a movement or an organization when it starts climbed to a higher level than before. And also has become a character of some people to gossip about the success of a movement for some reason, either envy or want to become personally famous. Not to mention the people in the organization itself that stole the opportunity to tell to all parties that this achievement is the result of his/her personal hard work not a team work. But generally, we are hand in hand building the same dream because every personal surely has their own goal. About three years ago, I gave a concept to synergize the activities of the three parties, government, private and community. So many various ways adopted to achieve this concept. For example is taking the locations of activities that have a historical value to the city. Aims to gain community pride and make them aware...

We started earlier than in previous years and friends who are involved even more and more. Some new faces bring fresh ideas. Friends who have been involved from the beginning are there, even though not a few people go. There is no big deal for the JAZZNGiSORiNGiN community with that because the members have all the right and option.  And volunteers who joined this year is exceptional. I appreciate the volunteers more than the people who two faced and used this moment to look concerned and take advantage on it. The time has proven who are doing it with heart. Loenpia Jazz this year is not located in a place that has historical significance to the city of Semarang. However, we promise this location will be part of the memorable memories for jazz lovers in Indonesia. If you are curious, I will not mention the location in this post. The theme this year is a culinary where visitors will be able to enjoy the many culinary specialties of Semarang while enjoying jazz music performan...

Quite a long time we didn't play together. The personil of the band still perform in many events and several times Rencang band perform with additional players. This time on See Hok Kiong stage of Loenpia Jazz 2014, finally we perform together.  With Olive Latuputty on vocal and Ari Kojack on percussion, Rencang band entertain the audiences attendance at front yard of 'Klentheng' See Hok Kiong, Sunday afternoon, June 15, 2014.

Olive then sequentially sang two songs namely 'Orange Colored Sky" popularized by Nat King Cole and 'Love That Will Last' from Renee Oldstead. After briefly communicate with the audiences, Olive sang a few songs starting from 'Good Times' belon...

After 6 months of hard work, finally Loenpia Jazz 2014 was held on June 15th, 2014. It was a pretty exhausting and draining mind in organizing a jazz festival in China Town, Semarang City. There are so many new things that we experienced during the preparation of Loenpia Jazz 2014. Get acquainted with new people, meet technology that doesn't know how to make it up to many little things that would be unexpected could be done in this activity of Loenpia Jazz. Many musicians are involved this year so that the schedule of events is quite tight. The traditional art in the show is also quite a lot, so Loenpia Jazz 2014 is getting interesting. Not to mention community activism participating increasingly make Loenpia Jazz colored. We feel very fortunate that we get a lot of help from various parties along the way, ranging from mayor of Semarang, community, social media and closest friends. Finally, when Loenpia Jazz 2014 ends we're only able to be grateful and thank God bec...
