maju apa mundur

Semenjak tanggal 22 kemarin, tekad gue buat terjun ke dunia musik makin keras kayaknya -_-. Jadi ngerasa nostalgia lagi pas ngumpul bareng sama sabilla dan vita. Mereka berdua itu temen satu band pas pensi kelas 9. Dan tanggal 22 itu kita ngomongin musik, ya masalah gitar, kabar kak sandy (coach), juga project akustikan.

Tapi, gue sadar. Gue punya RISAMSI! walaupun ada ujian atau bencana se-dahsyat apapun gue harus mempertahankan jilbab dan syariat islam. Ya walaupun ilmu agama islam gue masih cetek, but gue mau BELAJAR mengenal agama gue sendiri.

Mungkin gue gak nge-Band model jaman waktu SMP. Sekarang gue rasa bikin group akustikan lebih keren!. Ya emang gak ada unsur drum di dalamnya tapi petikan gitar juga TOP BANGET!!. Contohnya DEPAPEPE dan kak Jubing Kristianto (idola gue), mereka cuma main petikan gitar akustik tapi bisa menghasilkan instrument musik yang LUAR BIASA bagusnya.

Oh iya, di sekolah gue juga punya tim nasyid. Sebenarnya tim nasyid ini udah lama terbentuk tapi ya gitu, latihannya susah ckck. Tapi pas ada acara pesantren kilat, tim nasyid gue perform loh :D. Yang lebih kerennya lagi, tim nasyid gue latihan hanya 15 menit sebelum tampil. Amazing kan? Dan hasilnya Alhamdullilah tidak terlalu mengecewakan :).

Oke, dunia tanpa musik emang terasa hampa. Tapi, lo harus bisa pilih-pilih genre musik yang fix sama diri lo. Jangan terlalu memaksakan! Lo harus pinter lihat Sikon (situasi dan kondisi).

Well, ini ada beberapa quotes about music:
