It's approaching the end of March and things are getting even busier than ever! Luckily I have a special guest contributor, Gary Hostage, who's willing to part his time for this month's Heartattack. Apart from abusing his bass on Vague and also performing individually as Gary Hostage (not sure if this particular project is still on), he also dabbles in his own independent enterprise to organize shows and such. This time, he will be sharing to us few of his favorite Canadian bands. I do hope that you enjoy this mix as much as I do. -- I feel excited when Jan asked me to contribute for his reputably heart attack program because it has been a while since I occupy myself with music compiling activities (making mixtape). This mix focuses on "Cancon" (Canadian content) so here you have it! Several Canadian tunes, ranging from hardcore to polka which (hopefully) would please your hearing senses. Oh, in case you are wondering, I don't put great and notable Canadian bands like Fucked Up, DOA, or Japandroids because they have enough exposure already. Courtesy of Gary Hostage; you are welcome. Tracklist: 01. Raised by Wolves - Rats are Gonna Die Tonight 02. The Dreadnoughts - Goblin Humppa 03. Bishops Green - Tumbling Down 04. Hassler - Retaliation 05. The Brains - Screaming 06. Invasives - Who You Are 07. Ought - The Weather Song 08. TV Freaks - Knife 09. Fashionism - Smash the State (With Your Face) 10. Knucklehead - Voice Among Us 11. Tranzmitors - Nervous Breakdown 12. Rum Runner - the Punks are Due on Maple Street
Thanks to a Facebook post by Heart Attack host Januar Kristianto, I was pleasantly introduced to the Every Frame a Painting, a Youtube Channel dedicated to analyzing films from an editor's standpoint. Presented by Tony Zhou, the channel has videos with specific themes and subjects - such as the quadrant system and lateral tracking shots, as well as focusing on specific directors' works, such as Satoshi Kon's use of editing to portray space and time, Jackie Chan using rhythm to create fight scenes, and Michael Bay's ultra-flashy "Bayhem" style. So far, Every Frame a Painting has 17 videos published, and hopefully, with its growing number of viewers, there will be more added to its library.

Having been part of a music workshop conducted by Japanese experimental musician Kazuhisa Uchihashi, Ken Jenie shares his experience performing improvised music along with 5 other musicians as well as the insights he gained in the process.
For guitarists in Indonesia, Dewa Budjana is a name that is familiar. Having played the instrument since he was a child, he has become one of the most well known technical and musical solo artist, and also a household name as part of pop-rock group GIGI. We had the chance to talk to Dewa Budjana before he performed in the closing of Salihara's Jazz Buzz event with Indra Lesmana.
It was 12 o’clock on a sunny afternoon, I was looking for an address in the Keputran area, Surabaya. After tracing on some alley and asking for direction, a bare-chested little boy guides me into a house with a unique front, painted white with a door-without any window. The door itself is quite uncommon, it has no handle, only a unique wiring that serves as a doorbell. Just a moment after I rang the bell, the host open the door himself and then greeted me with a bright and energetic smile. Entering the house, the air is clement, even though there are a lot of antique products on the corner of the rooms. One of the antique product is a Steinmeyer piano with a stack of a composition book that has the host’s name on the cover, it says, “Composition by Slamet Abdul Sjukur”. Once dubbed as the founding father of contemporary Indonesian music, Slamet Abdul Sjukur already shared countless of transcendental music composition. His unconventional approach to composing music is an epiphany to music, not only to the local scene but also to the world. The abundant number of awards from around the world is the definite prove of his contribution. That afternoon, we talked about how he perceive music, where he reveal a new insight on the definition of music, “Music is not the matter of just human creativity, and it’s how we perceive the sound of the universe, so that the sound of the universe has a deeper meaning than just a sound. To me, that’s what music is. Many people consider thunder and heavy rain as something that just passes by. For me, that kind of moment is also a music because of its pressure and accent. That’s music for people who really cares about music. No matter how people play a musical instrument, if it doesn’t connect with the listeners, then for me it’s not music at all.” With all of his experience and wisdom, Slamet Abdul Sjukur continue to keep his dedication and love for music until his very last day. His brilliant mind, modest presence, and cheerful attitude will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace, Slamet Abdul Sjukur.
