MUSIC IS LIFE.

Iga Massardi is a very good friend of ours and a hell of a guitarist. I'm pretty sure when you think about The Trees and The Wild, you think about him. He might seem serious on stage but with us.. Oh no no no!

What kind of music captures you and why?
ROCK! I am an aggressive young man who's introverted. So ROCK can really represent me from it's energy, harmony and expression. Rock is very diverse.. From Led Zeppelin to Tame Impala.Well the point is anything expressive.

ROCK! saya adalah pemuda agresif yang introvert. jadi ROCK sangat bisa mewakilkan saya dari segi energi, harmonisasi, dan ekspresi. Rock sangat luas. Dari Led Zeppelin sampe Tame Impala. Intinya sih musik yg ekspresif gitu loh..


If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?
Japan.

Why do you play music?
Me playing music is equivalent to breathing. From the moment I wake up and poo, music is all I think about. Guitar, effects, guitar amplifiers. When other people are thinking about buying clothes, I don't. All I read are guitar magazines. Guitarist & Guitar World Mag.

Kamu ini kok kaya baru kenal saya aja.. *ember.. saya itu main musik sama kayak nafas. dari bangun tidur sampe cebok yg saya pikirin itu cuma musik, gitar, efek gitar, ampli gitar. kalo orang lain masih bisa mikirin beli baju, saya nggak bisa. pedoman saya itu majalah gitar. Guitarist & Guitar World magz.


What's the first album you bought?
I forgot precisely... But if I'm not mistaken, Java Jive.

Lupa persisnya apa..tapi kalo nggak salah Java Jive.

What keeps you up at night?
Internet.

Other than music, what else is important to you?
Nothing. Family, probably.

Where do you want to see your self in 10 years?
At home. Listening to Is This It with my kid.

Where do you want to be when wake up?
In my own room.

WHO NEEDS REALITY?

It's always nice when you find a musician that's down to Earth, lovely, doesn't think she's a musician, will simply get bored of the music she loves and fall in love with it all over again and is so brilliant. Panda Beach is one of those musicians. Her EP "Last Days Ashore", released last year in the year 2009 was recorded on her phone for the world to hear. She is too shy to perform, adores country and folk music, would love to visit the most beautiful places on the planet and is just pure genius.

What kind of music captures you and why?
There are so many good things about music that anyone will end up with a ceaseless list from contemporary music to roots music. I don't really know where to begin, but I know that I'll always love... country! And to a much greater extent, folk. I will simply get tired of folk and fall in love with it all over again. The word serves many kinds and is so broadly defined. Like an egg. I also love psychedelic rock, cajun, the gymnopedie, ambient, electronic and drone music, and, have I mentioned country?

If someone payed for an all expense trip to anywhere in the world, where would you like to go?
Furano, the lavender farm, Japan. Baden Baden, the spa-town, Germany, and the endless list of beautiful cities, Seoul, Montreal, Casablanca, Marrakesh. I'm a globetrotter at heart. It's mostly for the love of the food and the weather and... the infrastructure.

I heard that you recorded your songs for this EP on your phone? I think that's genius.
Yes, I did. I was just being practical. I forgot things easily so I recorded it before it slipped my mind. Frankly, I don't really know how to record properly. It's either I'm too lazy or too retarded to sort it out.

How long have you been making music?
I've never done it before, so the time between May and August 2009 really was my first time in music. I can't even sing. And I'm not, I'm not a musician. But people were so nice to me. I started a page out of... despair? It was nice to see those songs lining up and conversing with some artists I dearly adored.

What are your favorite movies?
I like movies, a lot. I grew up with Betamax. And I still play movies religiously at the end of the day before I go to sleep. At the moment I'm trying to collect The Cremaster Cycle piece by piece through the internet. There's so many of them and I don't know know whether people have widely and completely distributed the series. If you have some, let me know!

Who is your favorite local musician?
Nowadays? This is tough. I like SORE, The S.I.G.I.T, Sketsa, they're all amazing. I also like Voyagers of Icarie, they're really different. At the moment I like Indah Pertiwi! Haha! The one who sings "Baru Aku Tau Cinta Itu Apa". I can't get that out of my head.

What keeps you up at night?
Ghastly creatures? Midnight movies for sure. I sometimes wake up at 3 in the morning with no reason. And I can't really deep sleep before midnight.

Other than music, what else is important to you?
Healthy life! Lunchboxes and... Love.

I don't think I've ever seen you perform. Have you ever performed?
No, I have never performed before. I'm too shy and I think none of the songs are finished, you know what I mean.

Where do you want to be when you wake up?
A sea of pink sand with the loved one!

fish talk.

It's nice bringing your camera everywhere you go. The utterly mundane things you do seem special when it goes on film. The things you see don't turn out as they seem. They sky-scrapers, the window, the kitchen. I'd like to trade my eyes with an actual fish eye just for day. That'd be funny...







I like how these turned out. Jakarta looks nicer this way. Don't you think so?

"Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with, and then the different branches of arithmetic -- Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision."
