BACKGROUND

1. ceritakan dikit tentang sejarah terbentuknya band, formasi2nya, hal2 laen yg perlu diceritakan.

[Tell us a bit about band background]

# Sebenernya Jasad punya history yang panjang lebar banget, waktu gue SMA tahun 1993 pun nama Jasad sudah berkibar,mulai dari bawain lagu-lagu Sepultura sampai era Napalm Death dan Morbid Angel sampai akhirnya sekarang era Suffocation dan band blast beats lainnya mulai berkibar...Yuli (bass)adalah satu-satunya pemain original Jasad.

[Actually Jasad has a long story to tell, when I was in high school at 1993 Jasad has been established covered songs from Sepultura, then Napalm Death-Morbid Angel period until now Suffocation and other blast beats stuff. Yuli (bassist) is the only original Jasad member until now]

2. band2 influence siapa aja. sejauh mana pengaruh mereka terhadap style Jasad.

[Influenced by? How far they go into you?]

# Influence kita kebanyakan dari band-band US soalnya mereka lebih to the point dan agresif dalam membuat komposisi lagu dan arrangement,tapi nggak sedikit juga kita terpengaruh oleh band-band lokal karena mereka jauh lebih mudah ditangkap. Dari mulai Devourment, Disgorge, Suffocation, Deeds Of Flesh sampai Brutal Corpse.

[Most of them came from US bands; they're just straight to the point and pretty much aggressive composing song and arrangement but we're not closed the door to local band, as they're easier to capture. So they're like coming from Devourment, Disgorge, Suffocation, and Deeds of Flesh until Brutal Corpse]

3. gig yg pernah diikuti. gig yang paling berkesan imana kapan dan mengapa. gig yg paling buruk dimana kapan dan mengapa.

[Most impressive gig, the worst gig, when and why]

# Gue nggak inget berapa gigs yang udah di ganyang ama Jasad, tapi yang paling berkesan di antara gigs itu adalah waktu tanggal 1 Agustus kemaren dimana Jasad bermain didepan deathsters-deathster lokal dan ratusan tentara, soalnya kita main di SECAPA AD, memang sedikit menakutkan tapi show kita jauh lebih baik dari yang dikira, sound system, stage,lightning semuanya dibuat profesional. Gig yang buruk adalah ketika kita berhadapan dengan Event Organizer yang ngotot,sound system yang nggak layak pakai untuk musik metal dan fee terlambat atau kurang dari perjanjian, bukannya kita komersil tapi setiap hasil karya dan jerih payah orang itu nggak murah apalagi ada surat kontraknya segala. Kalo misalnya alasan yang dipakai karena penonton sepi dan jauh dari target, ya itu balik tanya lagi ke kerja masing-masing divisi Event Organizer dan itu adalah lagu lama untuk semua band yang di undang.

[I can't recall my memories how many gigs Jasad have done. Most impressive gig among others was held in August 1st few days ago when we're playing in front of local deathsters and hundreds of army because the venue was an army training barrack, a bit frightening at first but our show has gone better than expected. The sound, stage, and lighting were professionally setup.

Worst gig, when we're dealing with stone-headed Event Organizers, bad sound system which not suitable for metal music (Ed: hey Ferly you remind me of a gig in Surabaya few years ago, the sound company and engineers were so fucked up they're moron low taste shit try to setting up a system which I presume is suited for 60ies classic jazz Wes Montgomery show) and unfulfilled fee which is delayed or reduced from agreement. It's not because we're too commercial, but every work and creation should be respected in no squat. Beside, the contract agreement is clearly stated how much payment we'll receive. If they whining about unmatched target of ticket selling, the EO division performance then should be reviewed, and that is the same motive they're moaned from time to time]

4. Currently listening to (band/album)? All time favourite (band/album)?

# Kita semua lagi demen dengan Decrepit Birth "...And Time Begins", Suffocation "Souls To Deny", Disgorge "Consume The Forsaken". All time favourite band dan album itu cuma Suffocation "Effigy Of The Forgotten" dan Devourment "138".

[We're all currently like the tunes of Decrepit Birth "..And Time Begins", Suffocation "Souls to Deny", Disgorge "Consume the Forsaken". All time favorite is only Suffocation "Effigy of The Forgotten" and Devourment "138"]

SONGWRITING

1. dibanding album Witness adakah yg membedakan dengan album baru nanti? (musical style, technique, skill, quality improvement dll)

[Compared to Witness album, what the upcoming album will differ?]

# Hhmm...album baru kita seharusnya menjadi album pertama kita, semua materi yang sudah ditulis akan membuat lagu-lagu di "Witness Of Perfect Torture" seperti lagu tahun 70-an hahaha...80% blast beats dan 20% groove. Sebenernya bukan skill yang dibutuhin oleh Jasad, tapi bagaimana membuat struktur lagu itu menjadi indah,garang dan tetap metal, kemudian kita berusaha untuk membuat sound quality yang lebih baik.

[The next album should be our first album because all material written in Witness became obsolete like 70ies songs. 80% blast beats and 20% grooves. Not a skill improvement, what we need is how to write song structure and make it stunning yet embrace the metal root, and then we try to improve sound quality]

2. siapa yg bertanggungjawab dalam penulisan lagu dan lirik? bagaimana dengan kontribusi member lainnya?

[Who's responsible for songwriting and lyrics? How's other member contribution?]

# Yang membuat roots lagunya adalah gue, kemudian dikembangkan oleh semua...lagu itu menjadi bagus karena hasil otak pikiran beberapa orang, lirik dibuat oleh Man tapi pattern dibantu oleh kita semua.

[I wrote the root of the song then other member will develop the pattern. Man writes lyrics. All the good song came from all the member contribution]

3. darimana ide2 untuk menuliskan lagu didapat?

[Where you got the idea to write a song?]

# Hehehe...gue dapet lekuk dan gagasan lagu itu ketika gue boker, klo gue udah jongkok wah...semua ide itu ngumpul, makanya gue suka bawa tape recorder waktu mau ke kamar kecil.

[I got the basic ideas when in the closet. It's a great place to gather my sparkling ideas. That's why I bring a tape recorder every time shitting]

4. bagaimana proses terciptanya suatu lagu dari suatu ide/inspirasi?

[How to process song from an inspiration?]

# Ya dituangin ke riff-riff guitar donk yang pasti !! masa ke makanan hahaha...

[Just cook it into guitar riff. Not to the food dammit]

METAL SCENES

1. metal scenes di Bandung menurut Jasad?

[How's Bandung metal scenes?]

# Metal scene di Bandung sebenernya masih kuat cuma kendalanya Bandung udah mulai jarang ngadain gigs, hingga metalheadsnya jarang keliatan tapi begitu nemuin acara bagus seperti Bandung Berisik contohnya...lo bisa liat mereka semua.

[They're strong actually. The barrier is only the gig frequency so the metalheads are rare to find. Once they found a good gig, you can see them alive like in Bandung Berisik event]

2. opini Jasad tentang major label death metal: Purgatory, Burgerkill dll?

[Your opinion about major label death metal: Purgatory, Burgerkill, etc]

# Adalah dilema untuk band-band underground !!! gue yakin semua band pasti mau masuk major label, gue yakin semua band punya tujuan sama...pengen terkenal hahaha !!! gue yakin kalo semua band pengen masuk tv, appears di majalah besar, masuk MTV, dll.

Tapi untuk scene Indonesia, masuk major label seperti masuk neraka...begitu band lo masuk major label berarti band lo akan ditinggal oleh 1000 fans dan akan datang 2000 fans baru, sekarang mana yang akan 'lo pilih ?Lo pilih "major" berarti lo harus siap terikat dengan kontrak yang kuat hukumnya, lagi pula menurut gue belum ada "major label" di Indonesia karena yang namanya major label itu punya distribusi diseluruh dunia bukan hanya Indonesia,Malaysia dan Singapore. Oh ya..Purgatory dan BurgerKill bukan death metal, tapi gue salut dengan terobosan baru mereka.

[That's a dilemma for underground bands. I'm sure they're all wanting to get signed into major label for one reason: to be famous. Appear in major magazine, MTV etc. But for Indonesian scene, signed to major label is like cursed in the lung of hell. When you're into major label authority, you're abandoned by your 1000 loyal fans and will come new 2000 fans. But you have to choose. Choosing major label means you got to prepare for sturdy contract law. In the other hand, I couldn't see real major label in Indonesia since their distribution limited to Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore only, not worldwide. Hey dude, Purgatory and Burgerkill are not Death Metal dammit! [Ed: Sorry Ferly I'm just exaggerating your mood hehe..)But I'm impressed with their breakthrough]

3. apakah dengan media internet cukup membantu indie label band berkiprah?

[Does Internet help indie label to grow?]

# 60% ya...gue kerja di bagian promosi Rottrevore Recs dan setahu gue

penjualan banyak karena faktor internet juga, walaupun nggak semua orang bisa internet tapi ada adja yang order via internet. Internet satu-satunya media paling kuat untuk existensi label / band secara global. Kalian bisa negosiasi bernilai ratusan ribu dengan cuma bermodal Rp.5000 perak...

[60% yes. I work in promotion division of Rottrevore Recs and what I know is part of sales come from internet is significant though not all people knows about internet. It is the strongest media for label/band existence globally. You can do negotiation in amount of hundreds thousand rupiah by five thousand rupiah investment only]

4. apakah pernah menjalin production/event dengan bandluar negeri?

[Did you ever work with other foreign band?]

# Jasad belum pernah kerjasama dengan band luar negeri untuk menggarap satu produksi, tapi rencananya kita mau membuat split album...tunggu adja setalah album baru kita kelar.

[Not yet but we plan to make split album. Just wait until our upcoming album releases]

DAILY LIFE

interest band member diluar Jasad band?

[Any interest outside the band?]

# Gue kerja selain ngurusin site maintenance dan promosi untuk Rottrevore Recs, Despise Music, Jasad, Extreme Souls Productions juga Extreme Post, Man punya kesibukan di design dan video editing, Yuli kerja dan punya rental dvd vcd original, Dani jaga studio musik. Kalo ada yang mau bikin situs..kontak gue adja ok ? hahahaha...

[I work as webmaster and promotion for Rottrevore Recs, Despise Music, Jasad, Extreme Souls Production and Extreme Post. Man has interest in design and video editing. Yuli own original vcd/dvd rental. Dani work in music studio.

If you want to have a website just contact me okay?]

PRODUCTION

1. instrument apa aja (brand/type) yg dipakai untuk album baru ini? (gitar, bass, effect, cabinet, outboard racks, drums, percussion, dll)

[What brand/type of instrument you're using?]

# Kita pake Washburn Mg800 Guitar, Washburn bass, Hurricane drums dan paiste cymbals,DW 7000 double pedals, kita pake preamp Line6 POD Pro rackmount dan Marshall Cabinet, Peavey atau Celestion power amp 1600 watt, dan mudah-mudahan bisa dapet BBE Sonic Maximizer biar lebih mantap !!!

[We use Washburn MG800 Guitar, Washburn Bass, Hurricane drums, Paiste Cymball, DW7000 Double Bass, Line6 Pod Pro Rackmount Pre-amp, Marshall Cabinet, Peavy-Celestion 1600W Power Amp (Ed: for studio recording, that's a monstrous gear able to blow the ass out of the body!) and also we plan to use BBE sonic maximizer to enhance sound quality]

2. tuning gitar di album baru? (standard e, drop d, c sharp, c, b, a dll)

[Guitar wise, what tuning employed?]

# Tuning guitar di drop B, gue cuma pake 4 senar untuk guitar dengan size 058 biar nggak terlalu kendor.

[Tuned to Drop B. I use only 4 strings with 058 sizes to prevent slack]

3. ada kendala teknis/non-teknis selama proses produksi? (sesi studio, mood, kelengkapan alat, kesiapan member, dll)

[What the constraint during production?]

# Yup...cuma waktu yang menjadi kendala, kapan studio itu kosong...

[Only time: when the studio has available slot for us]

3. ada teknik kusus untuk proses tracking, mixing dan mastering? (misalnya bloking gitar berapa layer, teknik miking gitar dan bass, kombinasi pedal effect, penggunaan exciter/enhancer/maximizer, sampler/synth, drum replacer-kalo ada, dll)

[Any special techniques applied for this production?]

# Hhmmm...rencananya gue mau coba trick miking dan direct, miking didepan cabinet juga dibelakang untuk ambience dan vibe-nya , direct untuk memperkuat karakter juga aksen guitar, satu mic masuk ke 3 track...ya tehnis sisanya terserah ke engineer kita entar yang penting dia bisa ngerti kemauan dan karakter musik Jasad nanti.

[I would try miking and direct mix. Close miking in front of grille cloth and one in the back for ambient and vibe, direct to console to bring out guitar character and accent, one mic goes to 3 tracks. The rest goes to our engineer job as long as he understands what we want]

4. siapa yg akan jadi label album nantinya. Kapan kira2 release?

[What label to press this when it's due?]

# Kita signed dengan Forever Underground lagi untuk album baru dan Rottrevore Recs akan me-lisensi untuk versi kasetnya, cd akan keluar bulan Desember 2004 atau pahitnya Januari 2005, kaset mungkin sekitar tahun 2005 belum tahu kapan akan dirilisnya.

[We signed into Forever Underground again and Rottrevore will hold the license for cassette productions. CD will due December 2004 or January 2005 at the latest, Cassette maybe around 2005]

5. opini Jasad, kenapa kualitas produksi indie label kurang bagus, alatnya atau operatornya atau?

[What your opinion about bad recording quality of indie label releases?]

# Banyak sekali faktornya, tapi yang pasti SDM-nya...kalo SDM-nya hebat dia pasti bisa menggunakan fasilitas terbatas secara maximal, kuncinya cuma satu...banyak-banyak mempelajari karakter musik sendiri yang diinginkan terus banyak tanya, jangan asal main rekam adja, terus kalo hasil recordingnya sendiri udah bagus dan ternyata ada trouble di hasil kasetnya, itu karena ihak yang perbanyak kaset nggak profesional dan biasanya untuk indie label mereka selalu menggunakan pita bekas...ya kita harus complaint donk daripada kaset kita numpuk.

[Lot's of factors involved, but the majority is human resource. Good human resource will maximize limited facility at its best. One key: learn the music character a lot and ask questions if unclear. Don't just arm the record button. Some indie label has bad cassette quality release by using recycled/used cassette to press. If so, we have to complain rather than let it unsold]
