With the increasing numbers of violence comitted by or against young people lately, it can be concluded that all of those violence rooted on how the freedom of expression, the diversity of people's background and the space for young people to explore their world are no longer valued as a important value in the society. The choosen theme of Festival Seperlima, "Being Different is Normal" is a reminder to the spirit of "Sumpah Pemuda" as a historical moment of Indonesian youth movement. To once again revitalize the spirit of "celebrating the differences".
Held as a collaboration project between Pamflet, Pusat Keluarga Berencana Indonesia, Rahima, Pusat Kajian Gender dan Seksualitas Universitas Indonesia, Hivos and G Production, this festival aims to spread the spirit of diversity, and also to make some space for the youth to have a chance to share their creative ideas.
On this festival they also held an infographic poster competition to capture the aspirations of young people regarding some issues around them. The festival will be spiced up by musicians such as Tika & The Dissidents, SORE, Dialog Dini Hari, Risky Summerbee & The Honeythief, Witches, Polkawars, Harlan, Luky Annash, Zeke Khaseli, Folkagogo, and Geese & Wolf. In addition to that, there will also be movie screening from; "Bernadette" by Paul Agusta, "Silent" by Sidi Saleh, "Masa Sih" by Chairun Nissa, and "Mencintai Nisan" by Dmaz Brodjonegoro.

The Influencers is a new web video series revolving around the creative industry. Created by creative label Vakansi Visual, The Influencers features known individuals from different sectors of the creative industry sharing their experiences and perspectives of their field. The Influencers will hopefully inspire, or at the very least, pique the curiosity of the viewer with the personal insights it shares.
The first episode of the Influencers features Rolling Stone Indonesia's Executive Director, Hasief Ardiasyah. Having been a part of the magazine since its beginning in Jakarta, Hasief talks about what it takes to be a music journalist, how social media (specifically Twitter) has given him a new approach to gather information, and the collection of set lists he has managed to accumulate from a variety of shows and concerts (you can see in the video he has gotten set lists from White Shoes & The Couples Company, Efek Rumah Kaca, to Muse, and Oasis). Take a look at what he has to say in the 3-minute video, perhaps you will want to be a music journalist.

As a part of Jakarta’s brisk contemporary art world, the brand “Studiorama” will almost certainly rings a bell to the people who are still keeping pace with the scene. Started in the year 2011, this collective built their spurs by fusing the carefully picked often-unheard an obscure musician with a dense sense of contemporary art for an intimate live show.
After being inactive for a couple of years, on this very weekend, Studiorama will finally be back on their feet again to put their mark in the music scene. We had the chance to talk with the team and here is what transpired from our short conversation:
To build a bridge for the performers, both for the musicians and/or artists who qualified, but yet to have a proper exposure in the arena of popular culture in the country.
It’s always done freely, responsibly, with a blended variety of disciplines that merge into the background of the individuals involved in Studiorama collective- a deliberation to reach a conclusion. Each of us lives, and celebrate the music scene that is happening. By observing what is happening around us, we try to gather the relevant entities to perform at our event.
Interesting. Almost the same feeling when we look at what happens in football, from the first World Cup in 1930 until the 2014 World Cup - there is a progress in the “ball” design process. The design of the previous ball had a concussion risk for anyone who headed it, in contrast to the current design that is much more secure, thanks to the technology applied. Security is what makes music acts become too complacent with what they have done. In fact, for us, it will work best if they do it like the ethic of stockbrokers: high risk high return.
If what we do is based on the tendency to fix something, then it will give limits to what we want to accomplish. With no expectancies, our freedom to choose the work and showcases will stays broad.
It’s not the spreading that causes the stagnation. The fact is, with this kind dispersion, the scene has not been able to grow as well. For instance, today, many bands utilize the wide open access to release an album full of singles that still has a strong smell of conventional approaches, so that the works fails to capture the spirit of the generation. That kind of treatment causes such works to be forgotten easily by the listeners. The essence of potentially profound impression of nostalgia slowly erodes. Simply put, the quality of the work is not proportional to the quantity of available releases. As evidence, the exemption of the full album released by the current musical entities continue to decline in numbers.
Patience. The process is no longer important for the current generation. Everything seems so easy because of the freedom of access and instant culture. On the one hand, important elements such as the concept of the album, mixing, mastering, or other sound details are no longer a priority for the musicians. They want to quickly be heard by the audience. However, the audience now has too many options so that the meaning of the work cannot be consumed in appropriate levels and times. You gotta dig it!
