"When listening to the album" guitar "This is what occurred to my mind is how Tohpati and I Dewa Gede Budjana with guest star Wayan Balawan appears as a skilled gatherer.

They cross-genre mix that could Arransemen dirteliti of each composition, not easy to imagine how to knit musical trends: there is jazz, rock, bluegrass and etnikal.

I Dewa Gede Tohpati Budjana and was the initiator of the Trisum. Together I Wayan Balawan, the famous musician tapping technique as a guest star, they work together to produce a master work of the album titled 1st Edition. 9 composition in this album are presented with musical tastes that sophisticated. Can be listened to in the song chromatic work or Mahabharata Budjana Tohpati work. Or Mainz In My Mind works from Balawan. In addition to his own work, nicely Trisum also interprets the work of Ismail Marzuki is entitled Keroncong dibesut Kemayoran with the sound without losing the spirit of jazzy keroncongnya. Consider also their expertise in processing the three traditional songs or Cublak Cublak suweng Jali Jali with arrangements and modern sound.

A little reminder that the early formation of Trisum was in 2004 where Budjana, Tohpati, and Balawan sepanggung appear in a product launch. A year later three of them perform at Java Jazz Festival performances where the audience was very enthusiastic applause. They re-appear in a concert titled sepanggung Three Dialogues guitar at the Graha Bhakti Budaya, Taman Ismail Mardjuki (TIM) at the end of 2005. In this concert guitarist powerful gait are three well known by the public, which they then roadshows to various cities in Indonesia.

Not only play BARENG

In each appearance Trisum supported by a row of musicians, you name it Indro Hardjodikoro (electric bass), Sandy Winarta (drums), Eugen Bounty (Clarinet), Bang Sun (flute), and Jalu Pratidina (drums). These names are also supporting the album 1st Edition.

Recording process carried out simultaneously and live in order to get a 'life' and an atmosphere like when Trisum concert. But it is worth noting that does not mean this to be a live recording arena just jamming together, because Budjana and Tohpati as Trisum menggawangi motor of this project is structured with musical patterns that have been carefully designed before. As a result this album processing time consuming and requires a high teamwork. This is the challenge. But the fruit of their hard work paid off with the results of a quality album.

Enjoying music on this album Trisum like to hear the dialogue three musketeers guitar with a different style. Consider the composition of their game-cublak suweng Cublak funny, for example, or Kr. Kemayoran - by Ismail Marzuki, who became so "different".

Budjana, Tohpati, and was not a guitarist Balawan yesterday afternoon. That's why, try a musical exploration are offered on this album worthy of you refer to. Listen Mahabrata composition, for example, with elements of strong ethnic composition or medley and the Paintings Caka melodic morning.

The composition of the work Balawan, Mainz In My Mind, is also very interesting to be listened to. Balawan looked dominant in this composition. And, when it comes, and Tohpati Budjana changed the dominance of Balawan tapping technique with guitar patterns they have.
