Bowo Christantyo - "A Trip to The Universe"

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

After launching his first solo album entitled
"Endeskrai" in 2019, Bowo Christantyo released his second solo album
titled "A Trip to The Universe" on August 3, 2020. This second solo
album was launched independently in digital platform on Bandcamp. Unlike the
first solo album before, this time Bowo Christantyo returned to bring his
musical concept with a full-band format on this second solo album, after
previously in the first solo album titled 'Endeskrai ", Bowo only
presented his music in a simple form by playing a few stringed instruments
namely guitar (acoustic and electric), banjo, mandolin and ukulele.
In this second album, Bowo Christantyo presents music
that consists of psychedelic rock, ambience, progressive and even a touch of
jazz. Bowo was inspired by a German krautrock band called Ash Ra Tempel and his
favorite psychedelic band named Pink Floyd in writing all the songs on this
second solo album. In addition to this in his second solo album, Bowo wanted to
show freedom in playing music with improvisation for all musical instruments
involved in all the songs in it so that the music presented in this second solo
album sounded widely but remained in the corridor.
The main theme carried in this second solo album is
about exploration into space, especially in the search for new planets that can
be inhabited by human. The choice of this theme is quite interesting because of
Bowo's interest in matters relating to science-fiction and outer space.
Therefore, all four songs in this second solo album are able to bring their
listeners as if they were on a journey in outer space across planets and stars
in outer space. This description of outer space can be heard clearly in all the
songs in it entitled "The Universe Trip", "Star Debris",
"Into the Orion" & "Space Phobia".
The music in this
second solo album feels strong and very character because Bowo, who is a
guitarist, is also assisted by two professional musicians like Rey Masli on
bass and Shandy Satya on drums. Rey is a bassist for three rock bands namely
Jumper-Fi, Mighty Sound and Weekend by Evidence and Shandy is an experienced jazz
drummer. From that, you can imagine the music produced in this second solo
album.
