Whereas, designer and educator, , might contradict with the idea and go along with an advice that designer Paul Rand once suggested to him which is “make lots of money” with a belief that once you have no monetary constraints, you can start things with the utmost freedom.

With Studiorama premiering its new concept in less than 24 hours, the collective of music enthusiasts have revealed their third collaboration video featuring Jirapah and Heru Admadja. Heru's concept revolves around lighting, having an assortment of standing lamps flickering on and off through out Jirapah's performance. The song the band performs, Sol, is a new one, and insider information (in my head) tells us that a recorded version will make its way on to a physical release soon! Enjoy the video!
It has been almost a year since we last heard the name Studiorama, but the collective filled with music fans and artists have returned in a big way to present to you the 4th Studiorama.
