"In Exile: Inner Sanctum"


*****

It was raining cats and dogs at the opening night of Bagus 'jalang' Wiratomo solo exhibition at Lir Space. Yet, some people ride through the rain and join us at the event. Yes it was raining, but here, we're warm and cozy having intimate chit chats with the artist. The exhibition might be a bit dark but the artist successfully express his emotion through his work.

A Fine Afternoon, Indeed..


*****

Di saat semua sedang bersiap kembali ke berbagai aktifitas selepas liburan panjang; Lir Shop bersama sebuah duo folk Stars And Rabbit mencoba memberi kesenangan di awal minggu tersebut.


Tepatnya Senin, 5 September 2011, Lir Shop mengundang Stars and Rabbit untuk memperkenalkan musik mereka yang terbilang unik dalam acara berjudul “A Fine Afternoon with Stars and Rabbit”. Duo Elda dan Adi awalnya tampak sedikit gugup mengingat ini pengalaman pertama mereka tampil sebagai Stars and Rabbit. Namun hal ini tampaknya tidak mengganggu penampilan mereka sore itu.

Acara dikemas dengan sangat santai dan pas dengan format musik Stars and Rabbit yang dimainkan secara akustik. Semua teman berkumpul, duduk bersantai di karpet yang terhampar di depan sebuah sofa dimana kedua personel ini memainkan musik mereka. Tidak ada yang lebih menyenangkan dibandingkan menghabiskan sore yang cerah bersama teman-teman sambil ditemani musik yang unik.

Sampai jumpa dalam berbagai kegiatan menyenangkan lainnya di Lir Shop.

#In The Woods



*****

Mungkin bulan ini adalah bulan penuh dengan perwujudan mimpi. Meski bukan mimpi yang besar namun tetap saja; mimpi tetaplah mimpi, yang tentunya akan menyenangkan jika berhasil terwujud.

Dan mimpi yang terwujud kali ini adalah menghadirkan sebuah pentas musik yang menyenangkan di tengah hamparan rumput dan pepohonan yang rindang.  Ini semua tentu berkat band kesayangan kami, Risky Summerbee And The Honeythiefs.


Minggu, 17 Juli 2011, kami mulai mempersiapkan berbagai perlengkapan piknik sejak pagi. Buah-buah segar seperti lychee, strawberry, blackberry telah berjarar dan terbungkus rapi di salah satu sisi meja kami. Ginger beer dan mint lemonade pun telah terisi dalam botol-botol kaca dan siap dinikmati.  Tak lupa beberapa hiasan yang kami ambil dari workshop kami sebelumnya,” The Eyes Have It” pun kami gantungkan di pohon-pohon sebagai penghias yang memberi warna pada suasana piknik hari itu. Kini, kami pun tinggal menunggu datangnya para pengunjung yang siap mengisi karpet-karpet piknik bermotif kotak-kotak merah yang telah kami persiapkan.

Para pengunjung, teman, dan keluarga mulai berdatangan. Suasana piknik bertambah menyenangkan ketika melihat anak-anak kecil berkejaran, layang-layang merah beterbangan, anjing berlarian,  dan tak ketinggalan para orang tua yang duduk sambil menikmati kudapan.

Risky Summerbee and The Honeythiefs pun mulai mengalunkan lagu secara akustik di tengah suasana piknik tersebut. . Benar-benar piknik yang menyenangkan dan penonton pun terus bertambah ramai namun tetap intim. Suasana yang pas untuk menikmati sebuah konser sekaligus piknik.

Selepas bermain di tengah area piknik, Risky Summerbee and The Honeythief berpindah lokasi menuju sebuah cerukan kecil yang menyerupai mini amphitheater. Kali ini mereka bermain dengan full set, dan membawakan lagu-lagu dari album pertama mereka, “The Place I Wanna Go”   serta beberapa lagu terbaru yang akan segera dilaunching pada album kedua mereka. Tak lupa mereka mengundang dua teman, Erson Padapiran (Saxophonist) dan Asa Rahmana (Belkastrelka) yang ikut bermain di depan para penonton.

Sore menjelang dan penampilan dari band pun berakhir. Beberapa teman masih memutuskan untuk berpiknik sejenak sembari sedikit bersitirahat sebelum melakukan perjalanan balik ke kota yang terbilang cukup jauh. Sedangkan Risky Summerbee sedang membereskan perlengkapan mereka seusai aksi. Rasanya enggan meninggalkan suasana piknik di hari tersebut namun nampaknya hari libur sudah mulai beranjak pergi dan semua orang kembali ke aktifitas rutin dan pekerjaan.
