Birds Eye View from Noma Bar

An exclusive launch of a new Treehouse designed by Noma Bar along with a workshop set amongst the natural environment in the Monofuku Ando Center. Momofuku Ando Center will create a collaboration outdoor workshop with Noma Bar where you'll be inspired by Noma's sense of art and the world around us. Food stands with Shinshu local ingredients and a walking trail event through the fresh green mountain landscape. Noma Bar is renowned for his ability to see things differently, and his use of negative space to create witty double-take images. As a part from the agenthamyak's artists His bold use of colours, economy of shapes and iconography makes his style instantly recognisable. Noma has published illustrations for magazines and books worldwide. He has released two books, and has been twice nominated for Design Museum Designs of the Year Awards with the Chineasy project and Cut it Out.Noma has exhibited worldwide with solo shows in London, New York and Paris. Noma Bar found the concept of this project when he was visiting Tokyo, "The project was started, when I went to Momofuku Ando center in Komoro Nagano, where is about 3 hours drive from Tokyo. My treehouse needs to be in the high point in the wood and needs to be a view house to over look the Akagi mountain. Back to London, when I was working in the Highgate wood, I discovered the idea of Birds Eye View. I found two leafs on the floor on the wood. It was the one above the other and looked like a bird. Leafs are falling down, but they are forming a shape of bird that will look out to the mountain. This is how the process started, from the simple idea of two leafs together, and it becomes an about 7m of structure that contain people with stairs, banister and terrace." Noma said.

HMGNC – Today and Forever

The name Homogenic should be familiar to followers of Indonesian music. The group has been involved in Bandung's music scene for over a decade now (established in 2002). With 4 releases under their belt, the group returns as HMGNC, and after intensively preparing their next album the self-described electronic sci-pop group has released a brand new song for their fans and soon to be fans to enjoy. In collaboration with Papermoon Records, "Today and Forever" is a mid-tempo atmospheric experience, with washes of synth pads enveloping listeners, a steady drum machine in the pocket supporting it, and smooth vocals leading the track with romantic and hopeful lyrics as the centerpiece of the music. The dreamy vibe creates a contemplative mood, with Amandia Syachridar's silky voice reciting lyrics such as "Asleep and awake, happy and sad, aware and subconscious - with you, with you, with you, I've fallen in love with you" in the midst of the instrumentation almost as if the music is in her head - daydreaming of a new love or perhaps an unhealthy passionate obsession. The music ends with the sound of the synths oscillating into a snowball of sound, reaching the climax as if the mood and feelings can no longer be contained nor controlled. "Today and Forever" is a very sweet song, take a listen through the link below, and it is a free download for a limited time, so go to their Soundcloud page and add it into your digital music library. Also, the group promises to release new songs in the upcoming months in support of their upcoming new album, so keep an eye out.

Murmuration #2

Writers are like birds. At one time they are like eagles which prefer to run solo, but at other times they are pigeons who flock around a park while feasting. However, having a better look at it, writers identify themselves more to starlings; they crave for isolation and socialization concurrently. Therefore, to fulfill their craving to socialize, a house for writers is needed, and that’s just what The Murmur House provides. The Murmur House carries the intentions of allowing young contemporary writers to expand their views, broaden their knowledge, and enrich their experiences. With a sense of togetherness, each starling in our home transmits their heat to each other, making them warm while growing together under the same roof. The Murmur House, founded by Rain Chudori and Syarafina Vidyadhana, has a main project of producing printed literary journal, Murmur. The first issue of Murmur Journal, themed Welcome to Warmth, was published in June 2014. Full of intimate, rich, and hearty proses in various forms, the journal was written in English by new names as well as names who are no stranger to Indonesia’s literary scene. We are glad to announce that our journal has been well received. It has been 6 months of creative process, so the time has come for us to publish our second. The theme being Love and Other Drugs, we hope to deliver maximum dosage of emotions in all kinds provoked by the actions of loving and being loved. As Dwiputri Pertiwi, our head of editors, says, “As much as we are tempted to cringe at the endurance of love as a part of our collective experience (“Love? Who has time for that these days anyway?”), we secretly yearn for it no matter how battered or whole that love may be.” Not only the yearn and desire of love that are going to be divulged in this issue, but also the pain and pleasure of searching love itself which has become an addictive process to us all, humans. Accompanying the publication of our second journal, The Murmur House will hold Murmuration #2. For starling birds, murmuration is a process at which they migrate to another place in unison without the potential of leaving any member of the group behind. This notion is later cultivated by The Murmur house to create a readers’ gathering, Murmuration. Following the path of our first Murmuration, Murmuration #2 allows young readers to share and read aloud their most cathartic texts. Murmuration #2 will be held on May 9th, 2015 at 3 PM to 6 PM in Kedai, Jalan Benda No. 89, Kemang, South Jakarta. We will provide various enjoyments like reading and music performances in exchange of IDR 10,000 donation. The reading performances will involve a list of young readers, such as Ben K. C. Laksana, Dylan Amirio, Rebecca Kezia, Armandio Alif, Rain Chudori, Syarafina Vidyadhana, Talissa Febra, Ayu Meutia, Pangeran Siahaan, Andhyta Firselly Utami, Dea Anugrah, and Dinda Ibrahim. Meanwhile, Amygdala and The Colour Mellow will be happy to play their best tunes. We hope to grow and consistently create and recreate fresh, limitless works which induce singular sensation of reading experience to our readers. We hope to be the quintessential voice of our generation.
