Four Of Us - The Beginning

Puji Tuhan. Thank God.

I, as the vocalist of Little Coustic, won the "Be Electro-voiced!" contest that was held by the South East Asia Electro Voice.

I submitted Little Coustic's perfromances at The Living World (Alam Sutra), a very big mall, performing Adele's “Rolling In The Deep” with our own arrangements. I submitted that particular video for two main reasons:

1.       It fitted and captured the spirit of “Be Electro-voiced!”. It’s punchy and powerful.

2.       A big part of those arrangements is my idea; I believe that my band mates will back me up on this; so if there is any problem with the “intellectual” thingies, it could be resolve quickly.

(Actually I came up with the idea after hearing Dirty Loops’ cover of the same song, so a big credit to them too.)

I really thought that only the vocalist would get the predicate as the winner, because the prize is a wireless system of microphone. So I told my band mates that I submitted it, and they gave their blessing.

Unfortunately, Little Coustic has been going through some problems and changes. Couple of my band mates had already told me that Little Coustic can’t be their ship of creativity anymore, because of the problems and changes I mentioned earlier. Per February 2013, we decided to take a break. We decided to finish our contracts in several places at January, and then that’s it.

I talked to my band mates off the stage and it’s looked like that we still have the passion and eagerness, and most important of all, enjoy of playing music together. One thing led to another, we decided to form a new identity, without having the limitation of playing acoustic; but still have that taste that we used to, a loooong time ago, have.

Then came the announcement to my email that the video I submitted got picked as the November-December winner. I was thrilled and told my band mates about it. Then I contacted EV to tell about the problems and so on. Fortunately, they are okay with all that, and asked me about to send some brief profile about each of us. And the story goes.

Now, it just the Four Of Us.
