Overview
clorophyl
Mungkin nama Clorophyl sekilas terdengar seperti jiplakan atau terjemahan dari sebuah nama band yang sedang hits saat ini. Sebenarnya Clorophyl sudah eksis di dunia musik jazz dan pop Indonesia semenjak tahun 1993. Di tahun 2007, band tersebut mendapatkan kesempatan lagi untuk bangkit kembali dari situasi status stagnan. Bagus “Jambronk” Pramono, (Lead Keyboardist) membentuk formasi baru untuk tetap mengibarkan bendera Clorophyl di dunia musik Nusantara. Timur Segara (Drummer) turut berpartisipasi dari album sebelumnya sampai hari ini. Kemudian Reno Revano (Bassist) ditarik untuk menemani Timur, memperkuat bagian rhythm. Selanjutnya di bagian melody, ada David Q Lintang (Guitarist) dan Yessi Kristianto (Keyboardist) ikut serta memperluas karakter musik Clorophyl dengan permainan mereka yang cukup progressive. Untuk melengkapi formasi, Marteza “Teza” Sumendra, bernyanyi dengan karakter yang lembut namun penuh semangat. Formasi ini sangat tepat demi mempertegas perbedaan karakter musik Clorophyl yang dulu dan sekarang.

Berkat pertualangan eksperimental mereka, delapan lagu berhasil dirampungkan untuk sebuah album yang berjudul “D’Next Generation”. Salah satu lagu yang berjudul “Bila Cinta di Hati” merupakan hasil kolaborasi Jambronk dan personil Clorophyl terdahulu, Zarro dan Maik. Irama dan komposisi musik yang diisi program-program sampling, pemilihan warna karakter modern dari setiap instrumen dan nada-nada nyanyian yg mudah dicerna adalah resep racikan untuk formula album yang ramah di kuping para pendengar musik. Clorophyl juga berhasil menggaet Rayendra Sunito dari band Parkdrive untuk memproses mixing dan mastering album tersebut. Semoga dengan adanya sentuhan Rayen, warna acid jazz Clorophyl tetap bisa dipertahankan. Album “D’Next Generation” mungkin terdengar terlalu pop untuk para penggemar acid jazz, dan terdengar terlalu acid jazz untuk para pendengar pop. Namun untuk yang tidak memperdulikan idealisme genre-nya, album ini hanyalah salah satu rilisan yang menyegarkan di permusikan nusantara.

Being one of those bands who alterates its members more than a few times, Clorophyl got another chance to rise from the ashes once again in 2007. As the only original member of the previous formation, Bagus “Jambronk” Pramono (Front man/Lead Keyboardist) engaged the new band formation. Clorophyl’s previous drummer, Timur Segara joined him until today. Reno Revano tagged along to tighten up the rhythm section along with Timur. Next up, David Q Lintang (guitarist) and Yessi Kristianto (Keyboardist) were added to the band. Both are known for their progressive way of playing, in conjunction with enhancing Clorophyl’s musical character. Finally, Marteza “Teza” Sumendra’s soft yet vigorous voice character is appropriately chosen in distinguishing their new sound.

Through their new musical adventure, a full-length album “D’Next Generation” was born. Although they self produced most of the 8 tracks in this album, 1 track called “Bila Cinta di Hati” was actually composed by a collaboration from Jambronk and previous Clorophyl personnel, Zarro and Maik. In order to freshen up their acid jazz frame, danceable beats and samplings, sound programming and popish sing-a-long vocalizations was added for the market friendly formula. Clorophyl also managed to approach Rayendra Sunito from Parkdrive to handle the album’s post-production. Hopefully with Rayen’s touch of jazz, the original acid sound of the new Clorophyl is still maintained. Clorophyl’s “D’Next Generation” may be too popish for the acid ears and too acid/jazzy for the pop ears, but for those without ideological hang-ups, it should only be one of the most fresh releases of the year.

Buang semua skeptisme sebelum mendengar komposisi dan mengenal formasi Clorophyl yang baru. Semua personilnya punya potensi dan pengalaman yang lebih dari cukup dalam bermusik. Sambil mempertahankan Clorophyl, Jambronk berhasil membangun studio latian dan rekaman di bilangan Tebet, Jakarta Selatan, yang diberi nama Be-bop. Dia juga kerap kali membantu Rieka Roeslan sebagai session player-nya Selain masih aktif mengajar di Jakarta Drum School, Timur juga pernah bermain drum untuk Rio Febrian, Hari Toledo dan Float sebagai session player. Dan dia juga masih aktif menjadi session drummer di beberapa band lounge dan café. Yessi membagi waktunya dengan mengajar di Sekolah Musik Purwacaraka, session player untuk Endah’n’Rhesa dan Samson, namun juga tetap aktif di band progresifnya, The Miracle.
overview
Reno menyibukkan dirinya dengan menjadi session player di panggung dan dapur rekaman untuk beberapa artis/musisi lokal seperti: Yovie and The Nuno, Sherina, Shanty, Pingkan Mambo dan lain-lain. Menjadi salah satu tim pengajar di Sekolah Musik Farabi juga menjadi salah satu pilihan profesinya. Sebelum bergabung dengan Clorophyl, David bermain untuk salah satu band progresif Jakarta bernama Prophet. Saat ini dia juga menjalani profesi lainnya yaitu mengajar di Sekolah Musik Purwacaraka. Walaupun Teza adalah satu-satunya personil yang belum memiliki pengalaman dalam mengajar, kualitas suaranya mengimbangi permainan musik yang diberikan personil lain. Jenis suara Bass Bariton-nya menjadi salah satu nilai unggul darinya, membedakannya dari para penyanyi pria lokal yang selama ini sudah ada.

Discard all the skepticism before hearing the latest compositions and familiarizing the new Clorophyl formation. These musicians have more than enough potential and experience in music. Being the band’s leader all along, Jambronk did his own time being an additional player for Rieka Roeslan (local Jazz Vocalist). During his time maintaining the band’s existency, he also managed to establish Be-bop, his own rehearsal and recording studio in Jakarta. Still an active drum instructor at Jakarta Drum School, Timur occasionally plays drum as an additional musician for Rio Febrian, Hari Toledo dan Float as a session player. These days, he’s also occupied by being a session drummer for local lounge and café bands. Yessi splits his time teaching in Purwacaraka Music School, doing additionals for Endah’n’Rhesa and Samson. At the moment he’s still active in his pure progressive band called The Miracle.
overview
Reno keeps him self quite busy with the popular demands for live performances and recording sessions by playing bass for local artists and musicians such as: Yovie and The Nuno, Sherina, Shanty, Pingkan Mambo and others. Being a bass instructor at Farabi Music School also became one of his professional choices. Before Clorophyl, David used to strum his guitar for a progressive band called Prophet and at the moment he’s also trying his luck as a musical arranger for unsigned local musicians and artists. While doing that, he became a guitar instructor, also at Purwacaraka Music School. Although Teza is the only member who hasn’t had an experience in teaching, His voice quality complements the sound quality provided by his band-mates. A bass-baritone range became one of his values, which distinguishes him from other local male vocalists.
