Puspa Indah
''Puspa Indah'' (''Beautiful Flower'') is a 1980 album by Indonesian singer Chrisye, working in collaboration with Guruh Soekarnoputra. It was his fourth studio album and the third with Musica Studios. Recording After the failure of '' Percik Pesona'' (''Stain of Enchantment''; 1979), Chrisye decided to distance himself from the pure pop sound that had made the earlier albums '' Badai Pasti Berlalu'' (''The Storm Will Surely Pass''; 1977) and ''Sabda Alam'' (''Nature's Order''; 1978) successful. After a period of introspection and contemplation, he decided to stick with pop, but give it a romantic theme with easy listening influences. Guruh Soekarnoputra, songwriter son of former president Sukarno, contributed significantly to the project; he wrote the lyrics for all the songs except "To My Friends on Legian Beach" and "Gita Cinta" ("Love Song"), as well as all the melodies except "Interlude - Kenang-Kenangan" ("Interlude - Memories"). For "To My Friends on Legian Beach", Indones ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bass (instrument)
A bass ( /beɪs/) musical instrument produces tones in the low-pitched range C4- C2. Basses belong to different families of instruments and can cover a wide range of musical roles. Since producing low pitches usually requires a long air column or string, the string and wind bass instruments are usually the largest instruments in their families or instrument classes. As seen in the musical instrument classification article, categorizing instruments can be difficult. For example, some instruments fall into more than one category. The cello is considered a tenor instrument in some orchestral settings, but in a string quartet it is the bass instrument. Examples grouped by general form and playing technique include: * Plucked string instruments, primary bass guitar and to a lesser extent acoustic bass guitar and even less often, folk instruments like contrabass guitar, guitarrón mexicano, tololoche, bass banjo or bass balalaika, instruments shaped, constructed and held (or worn) like ...
