Ten years after friends call us UNKL347
http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2008/12/07/ten-years-after-friends-call-us-unkl347.html
What started as an attempt by a couple of youngsters in Bandung, West Java, to create clothes
that represented their personalities (creative and fun-loving) and interests (skateboarding, music
and graphic design) has become a growing business that has helped shape the youth culture in
Bandung and other cities in Indonesia.
Now, UNKL347, a pioneer indie clothing company in Bandung that has helped create a tight
community of Bandung's indie music and art scene, is celebrating its creative engagement by
releasing a design book containing a selection of 12 years worth of work.
Dendy, who has a laid-back flare, said the company was not concerned with making a profit from
the sales of the book.
"We want to make history, we want to contribute.
"The book can travel worldwide, it can land in Singapore, Malaysia, and people will know our
works better," he said.
Fashion critic Samuel Mulia contributed a piece on how both high-fashion and indie fashion
dictates the way people dress.
The company inspired others to open up clothing companies and sparked a wave of indie clothing
trend in Bandung. Now, one can find several distros(distribution outlets selling indie clothing) in
Bandung, such as Monik, Airplane, Ouval and Wadezig, among others. These labels have become
household names for stylists from youth programs on MTV Indonesia and teen fashion magazines.
UNKL347 also became part of the indie music, nightlife and art exhibition scene in Bandung. The
people in UNKL347 organized events and underground parties, documented in zines such
as Trolley and Ripple.

24. “Indonesian artist Arkiv Vilmansa paints like
ARKIV Instant
Born 1979 in Bandung, Indonesian artist Arkiv Vilmansa paints like pop and draws like a
pop and draws like a cartoonist”
cartoonist, a beautiful blend of day-glo colour and sweeping line makes for a fine collection
of powerful paintings. He's been painting, illustrating and designing cartoon-style figures
since 2005. Almost the moment after completing his Bachelor degree in Architecture Arkiv
took a sharp career turn into the urban arts and design and hasn't looked back since. His
debut was marked with his very first vinyl figurine called “Arkiv Instant", since then he's
produced many exciting paintings, illustrations and vinyl toys including a redesign of Mickey
Mouse for Disney Asia.
Arkiv describes himself: "I'm a half animal and a half dream. "
There's a discrete undertone of social critique in his work too, cartoon violence and death
being a regular theme in his earlier works. His description reflects the same silliness and
complexity of his characters. Smiling cartoons flipping you the bird. Figures strangling each
other. Teddy bears hanging on a rope are just some of the oddities that Arkiv paints with
cheery colors and his signature curvy and graphic style.

also easy to use and keenly priced”
The 11 best VST guitar amp/effect modelling
plug-ins in the world today
http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/the-11-best-vst-guitar-
ampeffect-modelling-plug-ins-in-the-world-today-427789/12
Maybe that headline should read ‘Kuassa Amplifikation what!?’,
for there’s a good chance that you’re not familiar with this amp,
cab, distortion and mic emulator. Admittedly, some aggressive
social media marketing has helped to push the software to the
top of our chart, but we can assure you that this is a highly
versatile plug-in that’s also easy to use and keenly priced.
Guitar-slinging freeware junkies will no doubt be aware of
Aradaz' line of free plug-ins, with their guitar amp simulations
having picked up particular praise. Now the same developers
have gone commercial as Kuassa Inc, with their flagship amp
Amplifikation One aimed at amateurs and pros alike.
Get to know it and terrific results can be effortlessly achieved.
Unfortunately, the tonestack and power-amp types aren't
available for the other seven amp models.
Given that the Custom can deliver pristine, piano-like cleans
right the way through to World War III levels of piledriving
distortion, we can't help but question whether we would ever
actually use the other amps.
