Tonstartssbandht (pronounced tahn-starts-bandit) consists Edwin and Andy White, is a two piece eccentric psychedelic jam band. This White brothers started to make music on an empty wood-floored apartment in 2007. They explore their music through making a Beach Boys cover to making their own song, now they have thirteen releases on their bandcamp. They gain their reputation after receiving a good review from pitchfork and having their song on the soundtrack of the movie Palo Alto (together with their best friend, Mac de Marco, where they also play as DeMarco's session band).
Known for their impressive live performance, Tonstartssbandht scheduled to play in Jakarta as a part of their South East Asia tour. Read our interview with Edwin White below to get prepared to the upcoming gig:
When we play live we just try to stretch our limbs out a little bit and monitor our intake of fluids and keep our heads in good spots so that we come on stage with good peaceful vibes and optimistic mindsets. We are inspired and excited by the potential of every night and every show.
W
We both love listening to oldies, classic rock, delta/piedmont blues, noise, experimental improv, free jazz, blues/boogie rock, drone, classical. The sound tendencies of our band represent all our musical loves. We listen and we react and we create. It's so wonderful.
The entire discography of Tonstartssbandht is a great growing collaboration. Both of us will have song ideas or riffs or melodies or snippets and bring the to the table. Sometimes a song is mostly one guy or, often, evenly both. TBT is 50/50.
Andy touring with Mac does mean that he is away from home more often now than before. It creates a new situation for how we continue to create and play but it's happened before when we lived in separate cities and separate countries. Every year of your life is different no matter what. This is no matter what. We still a 'bandht. Peace
----
Kaama Kaama x STUDIORAMA x The Secret Agents present:
TONSTARTSSBANDHT live at Jaya Pub, Jakarta on December 7, 2014.
Vocalist/guitarist Andy White—newly-appointed guitarist for Mac DeMarco—and drummer Edwin Mathis White explores a deep love for boogie, psychedelic rock from the 60′s and choral pop. They navigate their souls and psyches on stage, embracing the sense of urgency, pain and ecstasy in the human experience.
Pitchfork once said about the Floridian brothers: “The best way to experience Tonstartssbandht isn’t by clicking around their various releases—it’s to hear what the two brothers create in a live setting.”
But then again, that certain daily Internet publication gave Tonstartssbandht’s newest album—titled ‘Overseas’, released by Arbutus Records which also represents Grimes, Braids and Majical Cloudz—a positive review; giving it the score of 8.0.
A well-known independent media named Vice even claimed that Tonstartssbandht will change the life of their audience and/or listeners.
So set aside some money, Rp 85K to be exact, in order to watch the band live and savour the deadly, dangerous, dynamic moment.

The second Indonesian Netaudio Festival (#INF2) will be held in Bandung on 14 – 16 November 2014, following the first Indonesian Netaudio Festival, which was successfully held in the city of Yogyakarta on 16 – 17 November 2012 to align with the 5th anniversary of Yes No Wave Music. This festival is meant to establish online connections, as well as to instill an ‘offline’ experience to the actors, observers, and lovers of netaudio—Internet based audio activities. #INF2 is organized by Sorge Sindikasi, KKBM Unpar, IFI Bandung, and Indonesian Netlabel Union.
Internet has become an effective means to disseminate knowledge and information, and one of the ways is by using netaudio. Netaudio activities such as netlabels (Internet based record labels) and online streaming are increasingly being enjoyed by people worldwide. One of the prominent characters of Internet is the presence of free culture, a culture that enables the access for people to naturally use, develop, and distribute existing knowledge and information.
Raising people’s awareness on free culture has become pivotal in distributing and producing better, more sustainable, and independent bodies of knowledge. The information campaign and awareness raising on this free culture will be realized through the Indonesian Netaudio Festival, which also encompasses offline activities for netaudio actors and lovers, thus encourgaing them to further contribute to their environment and to the society in general.

“In Praise of Copying – Marcus Boon” book discussion with Nuraini Juliastuti (KUNCI Cultural Studies Center) & Budi Warsito (Kineruku) Marcus Boon’s book, “In Praise of Copying” is the second translation issue from KUNCI Publication after Lawrence Lessig’s book, “Free Culture: How Big Media Uses Technology and the Law to Lock Down Culture and Control Creativity” (2011). These books are distributed for free. The third book that is currently in the editing stage is “The Wealth Of Networks: How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom (2007)”. The translation and publication of these three books is part of KUNCI Cultural Studies Center’s research project titled “Media and Technology Convergence in Indonesia: A Cultural Perspective Case Study on Mobile Culture and Creative Digital Productions.”
‘In Praise of Copying’ describes the penetration of the so-called ‘copying’ in contemporary culture. Starting from Louis Vuitton wallets to Harry Potter: you can think of anything, and most likely it has been copied somewhere. Working comparatively across cultures and times, Marcus Boon undertakes an examination of what this word means, and why it fills us with fear and fascination. He argues that the dominant legal-political structures that define copying today obscure much broader processes of imitation that have constituted human communities for ages and continue to shape various subcultures today. Boon seeks to show how and why copying works, what the sources of its power are, and the political stakes of renegotiating the way we value copying in the age of globalization.
Participants of this talk are expected to read at least two chapters: Chapter 2, “Copia, or, The abundant style”, and Chapter 7, “Copying as Appropriation”. The electronic files of this book can be downloaded from KUNCI Cultural Studies Center’s website (http://kunci.or.id/collections/memuliakan-penyalinan/). This book is also available in Kineruku (Jalan Hegarmanah 52 Bandung).

“Music, Technology, and Society: Changes and Unchanged Matters”
The intersection between music and technology development has become a space to form new practices in the production, storage, distribution, and consumption of music. For the musicians, the intersection also opens new ways of artistic production.
