Press Release - June 2025

 Tyas Alfisa Unveils Bold New Single “Everything’s Changing” – Out June 2025


Tyas Alfisa ft. Symptom - Everything's Changing [Artwork]


Balikpapan, Indonesia – Singer-songwriter Tyas Alfisa is set to release her latest single, “Everything’s Changing,” in June 2025, marking a bold new direction in her musical journey. The track is a collaboration with Aan — known by his artist name Symptom — a musician and producer based in Tarakan, Indonesia. The single is released under Bedroom Dweller Records, an independent label also based in Tarakan.

Known for her warm, introspective voice and gentle delivery, Tyas Alfisa explores a more daring and dynamic sound in “Everything’s Changing.” The song presents a contrast to her previous work, showcasing a bolder, braver energy while still retaining the emotional depth her listeners have come to love.

“I wanted to show a different side of my musical taste with this one,” says Tyas. “This collaboration with Aan allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone. I’m so grateful working with him and finally released this song after 7 years”

The track features lyrics written by Tyas Alfisa and CAS the Poet who also lends her voice to the song’s spoken-word part. Aan, who composed and produced the track, contributes vocals in the form of a powerful scream part — emphasizing the emotional intensity of the song.

With its unique blend of introspective lyricism and expressive instrumentation, “Everything’s Changing” is a sonic representation of transformation, both personal and artistic.

Release Date: June 2025
Label: Bedroom Dweller Records

Single Baru! Minggu Ke2 September '24

What's up?

Don't let dreams just be dreams, lagu pertama yang berhasil kutulis tahun 2017. Yeap, 7 tahun berlalu, banyak yang ku pelajari dari songwriting, music production, mengerucutkan dan membentuk standard supaya tidak terlalu lebar. It helps me a lot. Ini juga termasuk progress besar-besaran yang aku lakuin akhir-akhir ini. Selain fokus medication, survive with wfh job, aku nggak pernah stop bikin musik. Banyak hal yang gagal tapi lebih enak kalo mereview yang berhasil. Itu nggak selalu tentang uang kan?! So, first skill unlocked, secondly.. i am still doing this, music and writing. 

Don't let dreams just be dreams terinspirasi dari film Sing Street. Punya nuansa happy sad dan pilihan chord yang simple dan lirik yang jujur. Lagu ini sebenarnya sudah sering dibawakan secara offline di beberapa panggung gigs lokal di Balikpapan. Bukan lagu yang banyak emosi, lebih cocok didengar saat bepergian, driving if you drive a car, because i am not haha

Don't let dreams just be dreams akan tersedia di berbagai platform musik digital di minggu kedua September 2024. Sebagai jejak dari proses pembuatannya, aku akan update di blog ini rutin, just for myself in the future. Kali ini artwork dikerjakan oleh artist asal Balikpapan juga, ipn.dd. So brilliant!

My First EP 'Bloom' is Out!

I've just released an EP, the lyric videos are now available on my youtube channel. 'Bloom' means like a flower blooming and also means i'm not done yet (pronounce as 'belum' in bahasa Indonesia means not yet). 

Contains 3 songs including Restarting that i've been released on last March (2023), i think it has incomplete vibes because at the start, i want to make an album, so this EP is just like an intro of the story. But nevermind. 

Mostly, the songs production was done by me and Aan (Bedroom Dweller Records) and the rest was by me and my friend A.M (photos, videos, lyric videos). 

Hmm, i have no much words to say because i am literally so tired and happy at the same time, mixed feelings. But this EP is for myself. I remember i started to learn to write a song since 2015 and began to produced in 2017 and this EP itself planned to be produced since 2019. It was a long waits. The X factor is my production skills such as mixing and mastering is not that far, so it took some years to learn and know what i want. Because, most of time, what i listen to and what i make is totally different.

Now, it's worth it. Seeing that my things are done is better than hoping the progress runs well. I know both are important but i prefer to focus on the result now so i have to make the progress is run well.





BLOOM EP

  1. Restarting
  2. Bargain 
  3. Accompany Me

Track 1 - Restarting

Restarting is a song about me restarting my music life by believing that i can do the production alone and i don't want someone to change my plan, my songs, my anything in the progress time. And also i quit hoping that people or community will help me to produce and promote my songs. Because eventho i love my very first single 'If I Knew', it is just not like me. Not what i wanted, but it still sounds beautiful. The production is awesome. I can't lie. But yeah, Restarting is about me starting my own journey as a bedroom musician. It all began at my bedroom. This song was made in 2019 when i got a new job and moved on from the studio.

Track 2

Bargain is a song for my belated father. This is the hardest song to sing. For me it took years to reach the Bargain stage. I use the word from the stage of grieving. The song was made in 2020.

Track 3

Accompany Me is amazing song about my anxiety seeing friends in their hard times. Seeing friends in college and working all day. Trouble sleeping and all, thinking about being me to help them. 

Can We Call This As A Photoshoot ?

So, i have a few photos here to accompany my new songs. Though i didn't make a booklet, at least i can share some photos along with my songs online or through social media as well as i share it here. Hehe, i enjoy it and i hope you enjoy the EP too. Thanks for visiting around! 



Thanks to:
Aan from Bedroom Dweller Records
Ayu, my bestfriend. to help me making the videos and photos
Irghi, quality checks
Archguitars, for always technical support especially for my guitars, my main equipment.

I hope we can work in the future too.

Rekomendasi Earbud Dibawah 200 Ribu Terbaik

Halo!
Kalau ada yang lagi nyari earphone jenis earbuds dengan harga terjangkau, artikel ini cocok! Let me tell you. Aku lebih suka earphone jenis earbuds daripada in ear monitoring. Karna soundstage nya luas dan nggak gampang capek pakenya. Aku ngga tau ya mungkin ada IEM yang nyaman dipakai tapi sejauh ini aku pernah coba IEM 1more, KZ ZSN Pro, dari kualitas audio aku suka banget tapi kalo pake lama agak capek telinganya.

Aku bukan ahli ngebahas audio tapi kalau untuk earbuds lumayan tau. Sejauh ini yang pernah aku coba :
  1. Headset Sony Walkman
  2. Headset Samsung Galaxy Duos
  3. Headset Blackberry Gemini
  4. Headset Blackberry OEM
  5. Philips SHE1350 (ini aku beli 2 kali)
  6. Headset Blackberry Aurora
  7. Edifier H101
  8. Edifier H185
  9. Seahf AWK F32
  10. Copper Cozy Series
  11. Headset iPhone 7 Plus
  12. Sony MDR E9LP
  13. Headset Nokia 5.3
  14. Edifier H180
Dari semua yang aku coba sesuai selera, the top 3 under 200 ribu ada Copper Cozy Series, Edifier H180 dan Edifier H185. Mungkin Philips SHE1350 dan headset bawaan Blackberry bisa masuk top 5 karna karakternya mirip2 Edifier. Kalau headset bawaan Sony dan iPhone di skip aja yah karna dari harga udah jelas jauh, alright!

The best choice for under 200k are :
  1. Edifier H185
  2. Edifier H180
  3. Edifier H101
  4. Copper Cozy Series (120k diskon jadi 60k)
  5. Philips SHE1350
Untuk yang punya telinga kecil, pilihan earbuds diatas cocok karna ukuran housingnya 14.8mm, kualitas suaranya rata2 V shaped. Tapi Edifier H185 bassnya cenderung tight, cepet, nggak boomy. Kalo mau bass yang boomy, Edifier H180 lebih boomy. Treble nggak nyakitin, vokalnya agak mundur tapi clear. 

Kalau Copper Cozy Series ini adalah earbuds baru dari Copper Indonesia. Mereka masih ngasih diskon 50% untuk semua headsetnya termasuk yang IEM dan Copper Cozy jadi yang termurah diantara yang lain.

my experience in 2020

I decided to write my thoughts and daily activity (again). I miss my old self. Meanwhile my mind's rushing, thinking about making videos, a lot of videos but i do nothing this year with video recording, so i guess i'm better in writing. There's so many things i've done year. 

Experienced working for big company until March

Helped Ayu to finish her papers

Got a new job, so i survived while pandemic

5 phones in 1 year ?

Struggling with 5 smartphones, i tried to buy 2ndhand flagship phones, Google Pixel 2 and Sony XZ. I have new experience playing online games caused of this pandemic. Pixel 2 worked fine, superfine but i got a problem with its battery life. Of course it's secondhand. Same as the Sony XZ, but it worst than Pixel 2. The device was extremely hot and battery drained so fast. So i just use them for 1-2 months. I really love the Pixel 2. I swear. Because it's pure android, it's really me. I'm going to buy it when it come to my priority and i have enough money.

I came back to Balikpapan in the 3rd week in March this year after working at coal site. And after switching my Nokia 5.1 Plus to Pixel 2, i switched again to Redmi Note 8. But before it, i switched to Sony XZ and after i sell it, the sales girl offered me Oppo A12 while i was looking for Redmi Note 8. I just experienced with it for 3 hours maybe, then i returned it to the store and switch it to Redmi Note 8. But i didn't like the thickness of that phone. Guess what ? After a few months i sell it, i bought a new phone with alternative for pure android filter activated. So the only option here with the latest android one phone is Nokia 5.3. 

I love the thickness, i love the feel and experience with Android One. I just love the simplicity and that phone is affordable. The package is quiet complete, yes. I got the original clear case, earphone, the charger and the smartphone itself. Pretty nice package. I don't think Nokia is failed. But i don't know why Indonesian reviewers prefer Oppo than Nokia. Not because i don't like Chinese brand. I love Xiaomi, i use Redmi series since the 1st phone (Redmi 1s) to the 8th. Can be said i am a fangirl. I don't like slow phone compared to its price. By the way, Xiaomi also has an Android One phone. But i think Nokia 5.3 is the latest one.

Purchased my dream pickup dan preamp for my acoustic guitar

Start to record my album

songwriting

I just dropped my first single if i knew on January, 28th. To be honest i didn't promote it yet. And now it's free day i wanna share about how i finally released a single.

I never really sure about having an original song. Until the day i realize that i wanna have something or creating at least one. Satu aja dulu di jadiin. Karna to be honest, sejak 2015 saya selalu nyoba. I've tried sooo many lyrics and songs. Tapi belum ada yang pernah tuntas/selesai. And what's the unique fact about songwriting ? It'll never be done guys. Believe me, when you write a lyric, selalu pengen gonta ganti, perbaiki, tapi dalam hal ini saya harus membatasi diri, supaya selesai satu.

If I Knew yang awalnya berjudul Terlewati ini adalah lagu emosional pertama yang saya tulis. Saya mungkin berhasil selesaikan yang satu ini karna perasaan dan ego saya yang tertahan selama ini. Tentang perasaan yang tertahan, tersembunyi, waktu waktu yang terlewati begitu saja. Tentu, lagu ini tentang cinta. Saya gak mau memungkiri, we live with love right. Dan kalau saya buka buku lirik saya. Semuanya mirip. Tentang cinta, masa lalu, cinta pertama, cinta ABG.

Seharusnya saya sudah berani menjadikan semua lirik sebuah lagu sejak SMA. Saya tau semua terlambat, but it's not too late. As long as God letting you breathing, right. So i made this. I'm positioning myself to be a teenager back then. High school student who fall in love secretly to her senior. So pure, innocence, good memories. If I Knew yang awal liriknya bahasa Indonesia akhirnya saya ubah ke bahasa Inggris. Ada alasan tersendiri. Dan kenapa saya mau sampaikan disini, karna jujur banyak banget yang bertanya. Not that much. Tapi dari orang-orang yang mengemukakan pendapatnya secara langsung ke saya. Ini alasan saya. Setiap orang pasti punya ketakutan, walaupun itu ga dibutuhkan dalam mengciptakan sebuah karya. Tapi saya begitu pemilih dalam hal ini. Mengingat ini adalah karya pertama saya sebagai seorang penulis lagu sekaligus penyaji nya. Mereka bilang, jangan takut. Lalu kenapa saya tetap takut untuk rilis lagu Indonesia ?

1. Saya takut kelihatan lemah dan menyedihkan dengan lirik Indonesia yang jujur, polos, terang-terangan
2. Saya mempunyai mimpi sejak SMP suatu saat akan membuat lagu bahasa Inggris, dulu hobi saya nulis puisi dan terus terusan berlatih nulis puisi bahasa Inggris
3. Lagu bahasa Inggris selalu terdengar istimewa bagi saya
4. It's my big dream, that's all

Saya ngga mau orang-orang mendengarkan lagu saya hanya saat mereka patah hati/sedih. Well, at least i am. Saya begitu. Dari komposisi musik juga saya ubah. Yang awalnya cuma suara gitar akustik dan cello.. It was dark back then.

BDB HipHop Movement
Demo Terlewati sampai di telinga mereka. Team yang luar biasa yang berhasil 'menemukan' saya. Mengeluarkan saya dalam jeruji keraguan. Saya berhasil mengalahkan monster yang menghalangi pintu keluar zona nyaman saya. 2017, sebelum saya bekerja di Thiess. Saya selalu berdo'a dan memikirkan untuk memiliki kerjaan tetap dan kerja sampingan. That was my goal. Sampai akhirnya saya mutusin untuk datang ke camp BDB. Okay, i think they're not the right place at the beginning. But you know what? Pertama kali saya datang kesana.. Pikiran saya berubah. I'm an introvert, sudah pasti sulit untuk ambil keputusan bergabung dengan kelompok tertentu. Came by myself alone, and yeah.. Everythings going well.

Dipilihlah lagu Terlewati untuk di garap. Saya berusaha selesaikan lirik bahasa Inggrisnya. Dan dalam waktu 3 bulan, jadilah karya pertama saya. Komposisi musiknya berubah dan saya suka! I just never imagined that before. I will let you know about them.

BDB HipHop Movement adalah satu keluarga besar HipHop dan itu diluar genre saya. Saya datang dengan demo folk. Hening, kelam. But they welcomed me so well. I'm serious. They welcome everyone very well. Mereka bantu saya mewujudkan yang ga bisa saya bayangin sebelumnya. Duh, i can't talk much about this. I'm so grateful. I'll let you know my best team and founder of BDB.

Bababio/Juckz : Founder of BDB
Enkga : Founder of me, yang nggak mau nyebutin posisinya
Lil Doctor : A doctor, operator di BDB.

Lil Doctor membantu banyak di proses rekaman sampai mastering lagu. Bahkan ia juga seorang composer. Semua yang terdengar cactchy di If I Knew adalah hasil 'operasi' dia. And the unique fact is kami sama2 SUKA, ngefans sama Linkin Park. No doubt.

Aliefnoufals.
Saat memasuki bulan ke2, kami menemukan Aliefnoufal yang waktu itu lagi nongkrong di warung, bikin beat di iphonenya. He's 18 years old. Baru lulus SMA dan seorang komposer yang WAH. Singkat cerita, dia yang membantu saya untuk part piano. Saya waktu itu belum sempat ketemu, bahkan setelah lagu saya selesai baru saya ketemu dia as a person.

Semua orang yang terkait di BDB itu amazing. Saya amazed. Sejak bergabung disana, saya jadi kenal banyak orang dan berani bertemu orang orang baru. Saya bukan lagi orang yang ngurung diri dirumah, saya punya kegiatan baru setiap weekend. And that's how i reach my goal.
Oktober saya mulai punya jadwal ke studio di akhir pekan dan November saya diterima kerja. Pekerjaan normal (seperti yang dipikirkan orang2) dan pekerjaan paruh waktu (seperti yang saya selalu impikan).

Saya bakalan upload demo version of If I Knew / Terlewati di soundcloud. Dan akan share lagu If I Knew secara gratis. Just tell me if you download it :) Selamat flashback memori masa sekolah dengan If I Knew :) You can't forget your first love. You both might be apart, but love never changed.

Tutorial Edit Vokal Untuk Cover (Simple)

Hai! Long time no see post (about how-to). Sekarang saya pengen share tentang gimana caranya saya bikin cover di YouTube dan Soundcloud, juga di Instagram. Karena sering dapat pertanyaan seputar hal teknis dalam membuat cover, saya mutusin untuk nulis detailnya disini ya. Di YouTube tuh banyak banget, sangat banyak! video tutorial how to get great vocal, how to edit vocal, how to get HD quality cover, etc. Dan saya sederhanakan seperti dibawah ini nanti. Mungkin nggak semuanya, tapi kalau untuk cover saja, cara yang saya berikan ini sudah cukup. Beda halnya kalau temen-temen mau yang sound like a pro. Disini nanti kalian bisa baca pelan-pelan dan langsung mempraktekan gimana caranya rekaman amatir ala saya. Yang bener-bener nol budget. Gak mahal, gak ribet. Yang ribet itu saya, yang merangkum jadi satu dan menyederhanakan dari sekian banyak tutorial yang saya baca/tonton.

Gear & Software
Biasanya saya selalu mencantumkan gear dan software apa yang saya pakai di video cover. Dan Alhamdulillah, alat-alat yang saya pakai dan juga software nya selalu berkembang/berubah ubah sesuai kebutuhan. Tapi mostly, saya pakai punya saya pribadi. Nggak nyewa studio atau pinjem temen. Jadi saya lumayan hafal nama-nama gear yang saya pakai dan saya selalu rekomendasikan yang menurut saya pas.

Ini list gear yang pernah saya pakai :
Guitar : Cort AF510E, Cort L300VF (tidak ada di channel saya), Cort AF510M, Anderson AFE12N 1/2, Fender Stratocaster Pink Custom. Sekarang saya pakai Telecaster Cabronita Custom, tapi belum buat cover.

Microphone : Samson Go, Samson C03U, Excelvan BM-8000, Taffware BM-800, Shure Beta A58 (KW).

Audio Interface/Soundcard : Focusrite Scarlett Solo, Behringer U-Phoria UM2.

Camera : Xiaomi Redmi Series (saya lupa. saya selalu ganti2 kamera, dari Xiaomi keluaran pertama sampai saat ini saya pakai Redmi 5A). Kamera pernah pake Nikon P520, Nikon 9900, sekarang pakai Sony HX90V.

Audio : WavePad, MixPad, Adobe Audition 1.5, Adobe Audition CS5, Adobe Audition CC.

Beatmaker : MuLab

Video : VideoPad, AVS Video Editor, Wondershare Filmora, Sony Vegas Pro.

Saya tidak pernah menyesal membeli dan mencoba semua peralatan yang saya punya. So, it means.. semua yang pernah saya pakai, itu bagus. Sesuai kebutuhan. Semua barang yang ada di dunia ini bagus, JIKA sesuai kebutuhan. Dalam hal rekaman, lebih tepatnya, audio interface. Banyak banget yang nanya “kak, soundcardnya apa?” Dan saya selalu menjawab 2, focusrite solo & behringer um2. Karena saya cuma pernah pake 2 merk itu saja. I think behringer um2 is the best budget soundcard now. ‘Cause i did a research before LOL. Always do.

Soundcard dan Mic, 2 benda yang sering dipertanyakan. Karena TBH, harganya sama-sama nggak becanda. Kalo cewek mungkin mikir ya beli soundcard apa beli tas or baju or makeup. But i don’t think twice for what i like. Malah kebalikannya. Saya mikir berapa kali kalo mau beli tas, makeup, or the other girls’ things. Saya lebih tertarik ke buku-buku, alat musik, dan SENDAL. Yassss, I’m a sandal gvrl. Anyone here the same ? 

OK, langsung liat tutorial di bawah ini ya. Thanks for staying here. Have a fun recording!

Disclaimer : Perlu diperhatikan tutorial di bawah ini murni hasil percobaan saya pribadi. Saya belum professional di bidang ini, *amateur. Jadi, benar apa belum langkah-langkah saya mohon di maklumi. I’m still learning tho.

ADOBE AUDITION CS5 

  • Buka Adobe Audition
  • Klik Multitrack > Template (Sesuai Kebutuhan)
  • Atur input dan outputnya
  • Setelah itu, tes dulu apakah suara mic dan instrumen sudah masuk. Kalau sudah, ready to record.
  • Setelah take instrumen dan vokal selesai, aktifkan efek di rak efek
  • Pilih Special > Mastering
  • Nah untuk bagian ini optional. Bisa mainkan sesuai selera dan kebutuhan. Geser-geser aja sampe kedengeran enak di telinga, di headset, di speaker, di rumah tetangga
  • Selanjutnya, biasanya saya tambahin efek lagi. Klik 2 kali di audio yang sudah di rekam tadi. 
  • Tahan tombol Alt+A 
  • Ke Effects Filter & EQ > Parametic Equalizer > Vocal Enhancer

  • Dah itu aja. Untuk efek lainnya, bisa kalian coba sendiri yaa... Selamat berkarya ;)

And if you let it go
When I’m holding you close
Inside my arms in the moment with you

I’m not a monster, monster, no (Oh, no)


And if you listen to me

Trying to hold it but the pieces are falling

I just can’t stay by your side
                         BMaj7      F#Maj7
I just have to live my life
             E
I’m not the monster

Drinking too much now I want you
Can’t get you off my brain

I won’t be the one to tell you things and lie to you
If you won’t listen, no
I’m not a monster, monster, no

GOBLIN

Siapa sih yang nggak suka drama Goblin ? Walaupun telat nontonnya, tapi aku sudah suka banget soundtracknya dari pas masih tayang dramanya. Hope you guys like my cover :)
