When Aray D’Sky, gathered some of the industries most talented musicians together for a series of recording sessions, the resulting chemistry produced one of the strongest debut CD’s to come out of Indonesia in recent times. Released by Reality features a unique and uplifting sound, a kind of soulful bluesy reggae that you just can’t help humming along to. The creative collaboration has been named Ray D’Sky signaling a ray of light in the music industry. Misty day, Angel and Compassion stand out as highlights on the album although the track entitled The song is my favourite and  has been playing over and over in my head since hearing it for the first time. I have no doubt that it will soon be playing on radio stations all over the country

Paying homage to their reggae roots they chose Sama Sama – Gili Trawangan’s famous reggae bar – to kick off the Released by reality beach tour on November 16^th. People started gathering at sunset and the flaming crimson sky made a spectacular backdrop for the beach front stage. As darkness fell the crowds came; a mix of western surfers; Euro backpackers; island locals and Indonesian rastas. House band, S2B, got things rolling with an energetic reggae set, they were followed by island favourite and Sama Sama regular, Richard D’Gilis. By 10.00 the crowd was fuelled by the music, copious amounts of Bintang and the party island vibe that Gili is famous for. Ray D’ Sky took to the stage and played a set list of songs from the album interspersed with reggae covers that had everyone swaying bare foot on the sand under a blanket of stars. Afterwards the artists and anyone else who wanted to join in got into some serious jamming, something that Sama Sama has become famous for.

I have a drink with Acok, owner of the family run  Sama Sama and he tells me that he opened the bar/restaurant because he wanted to create “something different and more chilled”, on the island ? where the music scene is predominantly techno and electro. He has hosted some fabulous beach parties this year, including the 2-day highly debauched Jammin Island Roots Rock Reggae festival which took place in March, and a mega birthday party celebrating their second anniversary in July. Steven and the Coconut Treez and Richard D’Gili’s headlined both events.

Ray D’Sky moved on to Bali for the second leg of their tour, playing to a packed crowd at Obsession in Seminyak on the 20^th.^. The sunset acoustic set at Warung beach Club in the heart of Kuta beach on the 21^st represented a change of pace, with Hamanah drum n dance opening with a funky African drum set.  Family, friends and guests gathered in a more intimate setting and the comfy sofas and chilled out atmosphere made it feel more like a party in someone’s living room.

An extensive tour across Indonesia is scheduled for 2010, check their website at www.raydsky.com Released by Reality  can be purchased online.

Kuta’s night life is as famous as the waves that pound its shores and Bali Mouse is on a mission to see how many bars and clubs we can visit in one night and remain standing. The only rule is one drink per bar.

We usher in the sunset, and start our mission in style, with a cocktail at Oceans 27 next to Discovery mall. This lounge bar is Kuta’s answer to Ku de Ta and sprawls across a stretch of white sand in front of Kuta reef. It oozes sophistication and style with its white nautically inspired décor, pillars made of mirrors, and tables and chairs in a pool that is knee deep in water – perfect for hot summer evenings. We sink into a day bed as the sun sinks into the ocean in a flame of crimson. The long island ice tea has quite a kick and the ambient tunes mixed by the resident DJ puts us in the mood to party.  The last few months have seen some of the world’s top DJ’s, performing at a series of beach parties here, with state of the art laser light shows and exotic dancers.

We decide to off-set our rather pricey sunset cocktail by visiting the Green Box next. The name says it all, it’s a small box-shaped room painted in lurid green, located on Gang Bedugel, the small lane that runs between Poppies 1 and Poppies 11.  Drinks here start at Rp 5000 and this is a no frills ‘sink as many cheap drinks as you can before you hit the clubs venue’. We order mojitos for Rp 15,000 and break our one drink rule by ordering a couple of shots  -at Rp 10,000 each, it would be criminal not to.

Our next destination is Benesari, bars are sprouting like mushrooms along this stretch of Kuta and it makes a good place to get the night rolling.  We head to the Balcony, Kuta’s hip surfer hangout, a favourite of Kelly Slater and other well know surf pros. Their frozen margaritas are legendary and a bargain at Rp 20,000. It’s a super chilled out venue, with soft lighting, Jack Johnson tunes and pictures of surfers adorning the walls. The margaritas are fabulous.

Our next bar is as manic, as the Balcony was mellow, its certainly proving to be a night of contrasts.  Lyrix, on Benesari lane has dark red and black walls dominated by a painting of Jimmy Hendrix and bench seating. It’s the first place I have seen in Kuta that serves drinks Thai style – in buckets, so we have a vodka redbull. Its going to be a long night……The band is formidable and playing real rock n roll,  belting out Rolling Stones, the Animals and Jimmy Hendrix. It’s loud and rocking.

We don’t have far to go for our next bar, just across the road to Brothers. Another excellent live band is playing a mix of reggae, rock and pop. It’s a relaxed hang out and as popular with locals as it is with tourists. A few people are up and dancing and we down our first arak of the night in a jug of jungle juice.

Sensation is next on our list, another green bar just a few doors down from Brothers and yet again gives us another change of pace, its owner, a Sumatran surfer is a cool laid back dude and his bar reflects this. A sign out the front says “bring your music, bring your DVD, but no bring your mum”. It quiet and cozy and we stretch across the sofa and drink Virgin dogs, a very sweet, very blue concoction.

Love Buzz, further down Benesari lane entices us next, they are playing some pumping house music and a group of Russians are already plastered and dancing on the tables. It’s a tiny venue but big on atmosphere with a fabulous wall mural of a volcano   set against a dazzling sunset.

By 11.30 we are ready to hit the bigger venues on Legian street. First up, it’s the long running and very popular Espresso Bar, Kuta’s home of Rock and Roll and the house band is one of the best rock bands in town. The music is incendiary, the lead singer is howling covers of Rage Against The Machine and the Chilli Peppers and by 12.00 the bar is so packed that the crowd has spilled out onto the sidewalk. It’s thick with atmosphere and there is a great mix of locals, tourists and expats rocking out in true head banging style. Our jug of tasty arak based jungle juice goes down rather easily.

Yet again, its time for a change of scene, this time it’s Sky Garden. The club is famous for its 14-day infused Martinis but we opt for peach bellinis, served in elegant cocktail classes, a classy drink for a classy and sophisticated venue. My favourite thing about this club is its labyrinth of floors and rooms with three different sound systems. The main sound system pumps out a mix of good solid house music over three floors, including the open air garden lounge, which also features acrobatic and fire dancers. Another dance floor has hip hop and a stage with sexy dancers strutting their stuff, while the top VIP area is a very cool space with expansive views over Kuta. The windows are all open creating a light breeze and the music here is a softer more funky house. Outside a platform is lined with artificial grass where you can dance under the stars.

Next up its time to get airy at Apache, home to Kuta’s most righteous rastas. This dark cavernous club with its live reggae performances headed by the legendary Johnny Agung is the club of choice for Kuta’s Dread community and is a lot of fun. Huge portraits of Bob Marley adorn the walls. Good solid reggae and an intimate atmosphere makes it feel more like a party than a club and its friendly and pretension free, just a great place to groove to the rhythm.

Its 2.30am and we are now inebriated enough to hit Bounty, a serious den of iniquity with a very young and very drunk crowd. We order cocktails that are served up in fishbowl shaped glasses and watch the karaoke which is hilarious as the people on stage can barely stand up, let alone sing. Then it’s up the stairs and onto the huge dance floor, there are poles, podiums and platforms and a big stage for people to dance on, people are also gyrating in the cages which is pretty funny. The music is a mix of R&B, hip hop and house, and the dance floor is heaving with a sweaty shirtless, very ‘up for it’ crowd. It’s not classy, but it’s a good place to let your hair down and boogey.

By four am things are winding down, but we are still standing so, there is only one place left to go. It’s time to hit the mother of all clubs, Double 6, on the beachfront. This legendary club attracts the best DJ’s from all over the world and boasts an incredible sound system, world class audio visuals, a stylish pool and outdoor seating area. And it’s the only place still open at this time of the morning. Techno is booming out of the giant speakers and people are leaping about the dance floor, arms in the air. It is also the only club I have ever been to where you can have a bungee jump and we sit outside and watch one person after another leap over the pool from the purpose built tower.

We are still standing as dawn breaks over Kuta. Our mission has been accomplished and the only place to go now is home.

Google earth kena masalah mengenai peta tentang sebuah daerah rahasia di Jepan yaitu peta Buraku peta tentang lokasi daerah burakumin yang dulu nya di huni oleh orang orang buraku yang pada masa lampau di anggap sebagai kasta rendah, namun tradisi ini telah lama di hapus seiring perkembangan jaman tentu saja kawasa ini sekarang telah menjadi sebagai daerah metropolis. Namun beberapa kalangan di Jepang mengkhawatirkan effect dari di publis nya peta ini akan berdampak bagi keturunan dari orang buraku ini, menurut perkiraan ada sekitar 3 juta keturunan dari buraku yang masih menghuni kawasan tersebut. Tanggapan berbeda diluncurkan oleh Takashi Uchino, dari pusat Buraku Liberation League di Tokyo. “Jika penampilan peta lokasi burakumin dilarang, maka sama saja mengatakan bahwa mereka tidak ada.“ ungkap Takashi.

Jika anda seorang video maker atau editor tentunya sudah sangat mengenai apa itu Pal dan NTSC tentu bagi anda sudah tidak asing lagi namun banyak dari pemula yang menanyakan kepada penulis mana yang baik atau lebih bagus.

Secara garis besar kedua nya punya kelebihan masih masing, terutama dari kamera, untu kamera pal misalnya  jumlah frame yang dapat di tangkap dalam 1 detik adalah 25 fps sedangkan NTSC mampu menangkap gambar hingga 29,97 atau kita bulatkan saja 30 fps. Dalam hal ini tentunya camera NTSC akan lebih bagus, terutama bagi editor karena akan sangat terlihat smooth apalagi jika effect slow motion di terapkan, Namun di sisi lain camera PAL mampu menangkap resolution yang lebih tinggi yaitu : 720×576 sedangkan untuk NTSC hanya 720×480 sehingga jika ingin di rubah ke photo akan lebih baik.

Untuk editor, karena untuk sebagian besar kawasan asia menggunakan PAL  maka jumlah camera Pal yang beredar di Indonesia pun lebih banyak, Namun perkembangan saat ini mulai mengikis batasan ini, karena hampir semua TV yang beredar di Indonesia sudah mengadopsi system otomatis atau mampun memainkan keduanya secara baik.

Begitu juga dengan pemutar kepingan CD atau pun DVD hamper semua yang beredar di pasaran saat ini juga sudah mampu memutar kedua format ini secara baik, Jadi sekarang tinggal kepada anda format mana yang akan di pilih,

Saran :

- Jika hardisk atau speed Computer yang anda punya sedikit usahakan bermain di format PAL karena waktu dan tempat akan lebih sedikit, namun untuk mereka yang punya space dan computer yang lebih tinggi usahakan memakai NTSC terutama jika anda mencampur beberapa photo kedalam video tersebut karena qualitas NTSC akan sangat terasa lebih baik.

- Usahakan sebisa mungkin merender editing anda kedalam tape kembali ini untuk menjaga Qualitas, tapi perlu di ingat perbedaan nya akan sangat sulit di bedakan,istilah nya ya…beda tipis…J

- Usahankan menggunaka software yang handal untuk hal render karena disini sangat menentukan bukankah anda tidak mau video yang anda edit sedemikian rupa berkurang qualitas nya ketika anda play di TV.

- Capturelah format sesuai dengan jenis format yang ada pada camera anda, untuk merubah nya gunakan software yang baik,

The jungle rises steeply in front of us and we cross the river balanced precariously on a dug out canoe. The wall of dense green foliage looks impenetrable but a narrow, muddy trail has been carved out and the ranger leads us to a small clearing and a feeding platform. We only have to wait a couple of minutes before an orangutan comes swinging gracefully through the trees. It’s a female, and her scrawny baby clings on tightly as she stuffs bunches of bananas into her mouth and scoffs handfuls of milk from the rangers bucket. In Malaysian orangutan translates as man of the forest, and these gentle creatures share 97% of human DNA. Their movements are so graceful and seem at odds with their awkward appearance – their oversized heads, huge shoulders, pot bellies and four limbs acting interchangeably as arms and legs. 

Gunung Leuser National Park, Northern Sumatra is one of only two places in the world where orangutans can be observed in the wild. The Bohorok rehabilitation centre operated here from 1973 – 2004 and saw 200 orangutans rescued from captivity and reintroduced to the forest. The feeding platform is the last vestige of the program and is a ‘fall back’ for any semi wild orangutans struggling to find food. Coming back down the trail we see a huge male sprawled across a thick branch and further on another female hanging nonchalantly from a tree trunk. I chat with the ranger who says that he has the best job in the world. He tells me of the day his father died and as he sat weeping in the jungle, an orangutan appeared and embraced him. “Sometimes the orangs are more human than humans,” he says.

A visit to the Rehabilitation centre and the quirky jungle village of Bukit Lawang which sits beside it, was once the highlight of many tourist itineraries. But one dark November night in 2003, a flash flood sent a 10 meter wave roaring through the valley destroying everything in its wake. The orangutans, high in the trees survived but more than 300 people died that night and much of the village was washed away. The road to recovery has been slow but five years on the village is once again flourishing as visitors are lured by the peaceful atmosphere, authentic jungle treks and the chance to see orangutans in the wild.

About orangutans

Millions of orangutans once roamed the forests that stretch from China to Java, now they can only be found in small pockets of Borneo and Sumatra and their very existence lies under grave threat.  In the last 2o years the Sumatran population has decreased from 12,000 to an estimated 6500 and has been classified as “Critically Endangered” by the IUCN, the World Conservation Union. 

The Pet trade

Although protected by legislation dating from 1931, which prohibits the owning, killing, or capture of orangutans, they are still in high demand for the pet trade. A baby orangutan can fetch up to $500 in Jakarta and $5000 in Taiwan. A common method for capturing a baby is to track a mother, fell the tree she is in then shoot or club her to death.  Environmentalists say that for every orangutan in captivity at least three babies and their mothers have been killed by poachers or died from mistreatment. Orangutans breed more slowly than any other primate, with the female producing a baby on average only once every 7-8 years. A female will usually have no more than 3 offspring in her lifetime which means that orangutan populations grow very slowly, and take a long time to recover from habitat disturbance and hunting.

Shrinking habitat

It is estimated that the huge forest fires that swept though Indonesia in 1997 destroyed at least 30% of their habitat and drove orangutans to villages where they became easy prey for poachers. Clear felling for rice paddies, rubber plantations and the valuable hardwood trade also forces orangutans out of the forest in search of food. Deemed as agricultural pests by plantations owners, they are often killed.

Indonesia has one of the highest tropical forest loss rates in the world; an estimated 70% of Sumatran forest cover has now been decimated. The Indonesian government admits that the rampant destruction of its forests, estimated at over two million hectares a year has been an ecological and conservation disaster, yet illegal logging and forest conversion remain out of control. Many blame over-logging for the flash flood that devastated Bukit Lawang.

Palm Oil, the biggest threat of all

Now, orangutans face the gravest threat of all and that is an insatiable global demand for palm oil, a popular vegetable oil used in many food products, as well as cosmetics and increasingly in bio fuel. Ninety per cent of the world’s palm-oil exports come from the plantations of Malaysia and Indonesia. The low land forests of Borneo and Sumatra – the last remaining habitats for orangutans, are the areas favored for conversion. Over 80% of the land that has been deforested in Sumatra over the last 20 years can be attributable to the planting of palm oil and all unprotected low lying forest is at risk.

Growing palm oil is a lucrative business and the price of crude palm oil has risen steadily. Impoverished land owners see few financial alternatives and many give up their land to become small-holders or to work on the plantations.

The problem with bio fuel

The biggest irony is the use of palm oil for bio fuel, a supposedly ‘green’ fuel, which has been heralded as a low carbon solution to climate change. Rainforests in some of the worlds most biodiverse eco systems are being clear felled at an alarming rate and replaced by oil palms. This quest for green fuel is actually causing more damage to the climate than the fossil fuels it was designed to replace.  The European Union has set targets for ten per cent of all transport fuel to come from crops by 2020. Currently, over seven million hectares in Sumatra are utilized as oil palm plantations, and the plan is to extend this by a further 20 million hectares.  Fires are used to clear the land, and peat bogs are drained to plant oil palms, a process which releases hundreds of millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide, making Indonesia the third highest contributor of CO2 emissions in the world. Environmentalists claim that currently, more carbon emissions result from deforestation and peat fires than are produced by the entire global transport sector. When a hectare of primary rainforest is cleared it releases around 65 times as much carbon into the atmosphere as can be saved annually by using the palm oil as a bio fuel.

The use of palm oil in itself is not the problem; the problem lies in the destruction of primary rainforest to grow the oil palms. There is plenty of degraded land available in Sumatra and Borneo, but palm oil companies can increase their profits by cutting down rainforest and selling the timber. The international community needs to demand that oil-palm concessions are not granted in forested areas, and that local retailers and manufacturers only source their palm oil from non-destructive plantations.

What about us?

The thing is its not just about animal lovers and conservationists wanting to ‘save the cute furry animals’. Yes, they are incredibly endearing and anyone who has ever had a close encounter with an orangutan can testify to what a magical experience it is, but the orangutans are just the tip off the iceberg. They are recognized as a “keystone” species for conservation, as they play an important part in forest regeneration through the fruit and seeds they eat.  If they become extinct there will be a knock-on effect on thousands of other species. Including humans, because we cannot survive without the oxygen created by the rainforests.

The rainforests here in Sumatra are considered to be the lungs of the earth, absorbing toxic carbon emissions and releasing life-giving oxygen. Locals here are on the frontline and face the dilemma, Save the jungle ? Save the world; or plant oil palms and feed the family?

Eco Tourism in Tangkahan

The tiny and remote village of Tangkahan is a prime example of grass roots conservation where the community rejected the lure of palm oil and decided instead to set up eco-tourism. I travel by trail bike from Bukit Lawang on a muddy potholed trail passing through rural villages, rubber plantations, the occasional forest and miles and miles and miles of oil palm plantations.

Sitting on the edge of Gunung Leuser National Park, the village is infinitely peaceful and provides a true wilderness experience with just four guesthouses and an elephant camp. Of the seven elephants that live here, three came from Bukit Lawang, emerging from the jungle just days before the flood. They were in a frenzied state and refused to go back. Locals were at a loss as to what to do with them; you can’t have wild elephants living in the village, so they were trucked to Tangkahan to join the Conservation Response Unit, which uses elephants to patrol the jungle in search of poachers and illegal loggers. It is possible to join the four day elephant patrol treks to Bukit Lawang, but also to do two or three hour treks through the jungle. The experience is totally authentic; there are no circus tricks here, just happy, well loved elephants. I stay at the Jungle lodge, perched tantalizingly over the river and share dinner with the local guides. The talk inevitably turns to palm oil, they are all too aware of the conflict but hope to lead others by example and show that there are alternatives. “One step at a time” someone tells me, “We can’t do much, but at least we can do something” adds another. 

SOS

The key lies in education and SOS, the Sumatran orangutan society runs a number of programs to this end, claiming, “The success of orangutan conservation in Indonesia lies in the hands of the local people”.  Their aim is to empower the next generation of Indonesian conservationists through grass roots projects focusing on wildlife conservation. Programs include: Restoring deforested land: Touring educational road shows: The development of a conservation curriculum for schools in North Sumatra: Community forestry schemes to reinforce national park buffer zones and provide sustainable alternative incomes for people living adjacent to natural orangutan habitat: As well as a tree planting program that has seen the planting of over a quarter of a million indigenous tree seedlings to date.

Hidden paradise

I wake early the next morning to birdsong and monkey chatter, my body aches from the bike and elephant rides, so I swim across river to a crevice in the rocks where hot springs bubble up. Completely alone, I soak in the therapeutic waters and soak up the tranquility of the ancient forest.  My guide Rinto arrives and leads me upstream to a gorge and a picturesque waterfall where I get a jungle massage from the pummeling water. We then drift gently downstream on tubes, stopping at Pantai kupu kupu (butterfly beach). Rinto tells me that if a butterfly lands on you it will bring great luck. But as I sit by the river in this hidden paradise, with hundreds of brightly coloured butterflies flitting around me, I already feel incredibly lucky.

BALI SPIRIT FESTIVAL

Bali Spirit story

By Alison Bone

The second annual Bali Spirit festival kicked off on 28 April. The event was billed as a celebration of yoga, music and dance and the opening night ceremony featured a traditional Balinese blessing; African reggae; American folk music; Balinese dance and a fire dance show. It was just a small taste of things to come as 20 yogis and teachers, 75 performers and over 1000 festival goers from around the world gathered for 6 days in the beautiful grounds of the Purnati Arts Centre, near Ubud.

During the day workshops took place in billowing white marquees that sprawled across the expansive lawns. The hum of the rainforest and the sound of the flowing river provided the soundtrack while verdant tumbling rice paddies provided a scenic backdrop. The eclectic mix of workshops on offer included; Laughter yoga; Ecstatic dance; African drumming; Chakra purification; Holistic hip hop; Javanese movement meditation; Qi Gong; Didgeridoo workshops; Kundalini yoga; Mayan cosmology; and Sacred Middle Eastern music traditions. There was plenty of laughter, lots of blissed out smiley faces, and lots of talk of sharing and healing, but the event wasn’t nearly as “hippyish” as I had expected. In fact the participants were as an eclectic mix as the presenters themselves There were middle aged professional women from the US and Australia; European backpackers; grandfathers; Ex pats; Japanese and Koreans and a number of Indonesians – predominantly yoga students from Java.

There was very little separation between the participants and the presenters, Sibo Bangoura came to Kundalini yoga, Rocky Dawuni, was at the crystal healing workshop, movement teacher Sofia Thom joined the celebration of women yoga class. And as we, the participants practiced playing African rhythms, or learned to hip hop or danced like fairies in the ecstatic dance workshop, we became the performers. Program Director Daphne Tse said that the best part of the festival for her was the “melding of all disciplines, seeing everyone from first time yogis to master teachers so eager to learn from the others, to practice different disciplines. There is absolutely no ego. They are Bali Spirit”.

If the daily workshops were about learning, the nightly concerts were all about entertainment, cocktails and beer were served and we were treated to some really incredible performances. Saharadja, featuring Javanese Jazz trumpeter Rio Sadik and his Australian wife Sally Jo, a classically trained violinist, played their unique jazz fusion; Rocky Dawuni, also known as Africa’s Bob Marley had everyone swaying to his mix of reggae and African beats; Sibo Bangoura and In Rhythm saw the crowd bouncing to the booming percussion ? Sibo played his drum so hard the skin broke. Akim Funk Buddha and Funky Geisha mesmerized us with their funky hip hop moves; While Australian ensemble Ganga Giri provided the most unique and unforgettable musical experience of the festival with their blend of traditional Australian didgeridoo with tribal beats and dub.

As well as bringing global music to Indonesia, the event also showcased Indonesian dance and music, giving it an international platform. The culmination was the closing ceremony which saw a mix of the Indonesian and international performers crowded on to the stage jamming it out in a rousing finale, truly captured the spirit of the festival.

I meet one of the founders, Megan Pappenheim for lunch one day, we find shade under a palm tree and eat organic nasi campur served on a banana leaf plate, she tells me of her vision of creating a conscious lifestyle festival. “The festival is about collaboration, an exchange of ideas and an exchange of cultures, a vibrant uplifting event that creates a container for positive change”. It’s a festival but its not just about good times and we discuss the Bhinneka Initiative, the charitable arm of the festival, comprised of a variety of community based projects promoting holistic health and creative collaborations in music and dance. The musical outreach program featured Pre-festival concerts headlining Michael Franti, Rocky Dawuni and Tom Freund and raised over $20,000 for the Pelangi community school in Ubud. As part of the yoga outreach program free Pre natal yoga classes were held for local women. Also under the Bhinneka Umbrella came Hari Cinta Keluarga (family day) - the final day of the festival which was free for all and specially devoted to family with a range of family and child oriented workshops which saw a huge turnout of Balinese. Megan tells me that next year she is thinking of choosing an AIDS charity as the beneficiary of Bhinneka and is hoping to get a condom company to sponsor the festival.

Despite running big losses since its inception, Megan is more excited than ever about next year’s event. “Its not about the money, it’s about the message and the vision”.

Next years event takes place from 1 – 5 April 2010
