About this ebook:
Tinggalkanlah gengsi, hidup berawal dari mimpiGantungkan yang tinggi, agar semua terjadiRasakan semua, peduli itu ironi tragediSenang bahagia, hingga kelak kau mati“Gue berasal dari keluarga sederhana, Fahd. Working class.” kata Bondan, “Gue berproses sejak lama. Gue berjuang dari kecil untuk bisa punya tempat di industri ini. Sumpah, ini semua nggak gampang… tapi kerja keras emang selalu menunjukkan hasilnya. Bareng Fade2Black, nggak kerasa udah 5 tahun sejak 2005. Awalnya kita cuma dianggap band biasa yang kadang dipandang sebelah mata—malah disepelekan. Kita baru bener-bener ngerasain semuanya ‘meledak’ di tahun 2010, di album ketiga. Meskipun di dua album sebelumnya kita juga pernah dapet beberapa penghargaan, nggak bisa dipungkiri lagu Ya Sudahlah jadi momentum penting yang mengubah banyak hal.” cerita Bondan.“Ya, impian dan kerja keras emang selalu keren! Kalian udah membuktikan semuanya.” kataku, “Bukan cuma musik yang bagus, lirik yang bagus, karya yang bagus, kesuksesan juga soal bagaimana seseorang menjalani dan menjalankan semuanya, kan?”“Bener banget!” kata Tito, “Kalo boleh digambarkan, perjalanan kita bisa diwakili sama tiga lagu: Hidup Berawal dari Mimpi di album Respect, Waktu di album Unity, sama Ya Sudahlah di album For All. Kita memulai semua ini dari impian, kemudian kita memperjuangkan dan mempertaruhkan impian itu bersama waktu yang terus berjalan… terakhir, saat kerja keras sudah dilakukan, kita hanya ‘menunggu’, tawakal dengan rasa percaya dan cinta, Ya Sudahlah!”“Ya, Hidup Berawal dari Mimpi!” kata Bondan sambil tersenyum. Eza mengangguk-angguk setuju.Lalu Tito tersenyum. Arie tersenyum. Aku tersenyum. Semua tersenyum. Entah bagaimana caranya, senyum dan semangat selalu menular!=============Di Balik Layar #HBDMTak sedikit orang yang jatuh cinta pada pendengaran pertama ketika mendengarkan lagu-lagu Bondan Prakoso & Fade2Black, saya salah satunya. Tak cukup sampai di situ, saya bukan hanya kecanduan musiknya, saya juga terpukau mendapati lirik-lirik yang kuat dan hebat dari mereka.Sejak awal, saya tahu, Bondan Prakoso & Fade2Black bukan grup musik biasa yang sekadar “bermusik”, mereka lebih dari itu: musik dan lirik mereka berangkat dari konsep yang kuat, pemahaman yang hebat, serta pilihan ekspresi kreativitas yang tepat. Kemudian saya terpikir untuk mengajak mereka bekerjasama dalam sebuah project literasi. Karya mereka harus “diperluas” daya jangkaunya, bukan hanya bagi pendengar musik tetapi juga bagi pembaca sastra. Saya yakin musik dan lirik mereka harus dinikmati siapa saja dalam “jangkauan” yang lebih luas lagi; Musik dan lirik mereka hebat, tak diragukan lagi.Ketika saya menawarkan project penulisan “fiksi-musikal” pada Bondan Prakoso & Fade2Black, tak disangka mereka begitu antusias menyepakatinya. “Musisi bukan sekadar penghibur,” demikian kami bersepakat, “Musik adalah karya intelektual yang mewah. Ia tak hanya perlu diperdengarkan di tengah-tengah ingar-bingar penggung, suaranya harus menerobos ke ruang baca, kampus-kampus, perpustakaan, pusat-pusat peradaban.” Kami berjabat tangan, “Penikmat musik sangat penting membaca sastra, sama seperti penikmat sastra penting mengapresiasi musik. Musik dan sastra adalah dua cinta yang tak bisa diceraikan.”Demikianlah project ini pada akhirnya selesai, sebuah buku fiksi-musikal berjudul HIDUP BERAWAL DARI MIMPI. Buku ini merupakan fusi-sinergis antara cerita dan lagu. Bacalah kisah-kisah yang terangkum di dalamnya sambil mendengarkan lagu-lagu Bondan Prakoso & Fade2Black yang bersesuaian dengan setiap kisahnya, lalu rasakan sensasinya.Apa itu fiksi-musikal? Dalam bahasa Inggris ia disebut musical fiction, sebuah genre dalam fiksi di mana musik menjadi bagian yang sangat penting, baik sabagai bahan utama maupun bagian cerita. Bentuk “fiksi-musikal” ini merupakan cara lain dalam menyajikan sebuah cerita sekaligus sebuah lagu/musik. Fiksi (cerita) dan lagu (musik) menjadi dua karya yang saling mengisi dan menguatkan satu sama lain dalam sebuah bentuk baru yang “meluaskan” ruang apresiasinya. Dalam fiksi-musikal cerita bisa menjadi dirinya sendiri, lagu juga menjadi dirinya sendiri, namun ketika keduanya dipertemukan dalam sebuah “persimpangan kreatif”, mereka bersalin rupa menjadi hibrida yang lain: Sebentuk cerita melodis dengan musik yang naratif.Anthony DeCurtis, seorang jurnalis Rolling Stone, memberikan penjelasan seksi tentang musical fiction sebagai hubungan tarik-menarik antara musik dan kata-kata tertulis, the edgy relationship between music and the written words. Hal paling penting yang ingin dicapai dalam karya kolaboratif semacam ini adalah “pengalaman-musikal dalam membaca” serta “sensasi imajinatif” saat mendengarkan sebuah lagu”. (Sawyers, June Skinner (Ed.). 2005. The Best in Rock Fict...
