The pleasant collective memories deserve to be celebrated again in the form of a reunion. For musician Indra Lesmana, one of those experiences was when making music in Sydney, Australia, which resulted in two albums in the early 1980s. He will return to the city where he goes to school, to record again.
“I feel really excited to meet old friends 40 years later. Crazy!" said Indra (58), expressing his joy, via written message on Tuesday (16/4/2024).
According to the plan, Indra and these old friends will meet in Sydney, record a new composition in May 2024. The recording will be reproduced in compact disc (CD) format and digital files distributed via USB storage and streaming platforms. This project is called Indra Lesmana Sydney Reunion with executive producers saxophonist Ivan Paulus and Shirley Lim, an Indonesian diaspora couple in Australia.
Indra studied jazz music at the New South Wales Conservatorium of Music with a scholarship he received in 1979. In 1982, Indra formed a group called Nebula with his friends there. This group produced the album No Standing. At almost the same time, Indra and his father, Jack Lesmana, launched the Children of Fantasy music project with Dave Barlow.
In the reunion project, Indra will return to music with Dave Barlow as saxophonist and bassist Steve Hunter, who participated in the album No Standing. They will be accompanied by drumming from Andrew Gander.
"This (reunion project) is an invaluable historic moment for me. It is my hope that this project will become a good documentary and serve as inspiration for the music generation in Indonesia and Australia," said Indra.
