Sebuah Dedikasi Murphy Radio Untuk Penyandang Down Syndrome Lewat Double Single 'Autumn & Sandy'
Dua tahun setelah melewati perilisan debut albumnya, kini unit Math-Rock asal Samarinda, Murphy Radio, melepas kerinduan dengan sekaligus merilis dua single baru yang dikemas dalam satu klip video. Kedua single tersebut adalah "Autumn" dan "Sandy" yang menjadikan representasi Murphy Radio dalam melihat kondisi down syndrome yang dimiliki oleh sebagian orang.
Dalam konseptual pada klip videonya juga disini Murphy Radio mengangkat tema down syndrome, dimana double single dalam klip video ini dilepas bertepatan dengan Hari Down Syndrome Sedunia pada 21 Maret. Dalam project ini, Murphy Radio juga bekerjasama dengan SLBN Pembina Samarinda, dimana mereka dibantu oleh salah satu senior di skena musik Samarinda yakni Yadhie Jombank, yang kebetulan bekerja di SLB tersebut. "Diluar ekspektasi juga, ternyata Kepala Sekolah beserta seluruh staf menerima dan mendukung penuh untuk membuat klip videonya disana", ujar Aldi dan Wendra melalui pers rilis.
Dari segi musik disini Murphy Radio bukan menampilkan pemilihan musik yang mellow, melainkan sebaliknya dengan menghadirkan msuik penuh semangat. Murphy Radio juga menjelaskan bahwa para penyandang down syndrome dan disabilitas lainnya juga mampu melakukan hal yang sama, bahkan bisa lebih karena mereka dapat melihat cerita dan warna mereka sendiri. Proses teknis klip video ini digarap oleh Resa Alif dan Mademun dari ThreeAM Creative House.
Salut atas ide yang ditampilkan oleh Murphy Radio ini, dan ditunggu juga kejutan album berikutnya. Segan!

The Death of Murphy Radio
The 12 year old lanky girl with two plaits of hair hanging behind her ears was holding the cover of a LP (Long Playing) record in her hand. She was engrossed in the picture on the cover. Young and handsome Rishi Kapoor was holding glamorous Dimple Kapadia romantically from back. It was a scene from their debut movie Bobby. The pre-teen girl liked the image so much. It stirred something fizzy in her early adolescent mind. Today, after crossing half a century, I cannot help but smile fondly at this frame in my memory. I still steal a few minutes looking at this picture. The twelve year old surprises me by making her presence felt still in my heart.

We had a Russian LP record player, gifted by my maternal uncle. From the day it was gifted, the very Russian looking record player permanently occupied a large space on a loft as the most immovable property of our household.

The poor thing never got the chance to play Long Playing (LP) records. Hence, I didn’t get the chance to grow up listening to variety of music. Buying LPs always got crossed in the list of priorities of our shoe string household budget.

My maternal uncle, who was a great music connoisseur, owned a Gramophone Radio.

It could play six LPs one after another. He had the entire sound track of the movie The Sound of Music.

I loved to listen to it as a little girl.
The Murphy Radio set in our home retired and settled on the loft, alongside the LP record player, when I started going to Junior College. An era ended.
A boxy ‘Two in One’ hyphenated the gap in time between the radio and the TV in our lives.
Our collection of music never rose in number from the initial purchase of 4-5 cassettes. Mother never gave us enough pocket money to afford buying cassettes. However, at least I was in a position to smartly toss those 4 to 5 names to show off my up to date status as an avid listener of pop music, whenever required! The names were very few though – Wham by George Michael! Michael Jackson! Lionel Richie! Abba! And that’s it.
The “2 in 1” phase still shows traces of its impact on my memory. Until a few years back I would invariably call a Mp3 player “2 in 1” and get curtly corrected by my school going children, “Momma, it’s not a 2 in 1. It’s a Mp3 player, duh!”
Good that listening to music has overgrown that phase too. Now that it’s all online, and available for ‘streaming’ through apps such as Spotify, TuneIn, Deezer, Slacker Radio etc, I am saved from the embarrassing guilt of demeaning the glamorous hi-tech gadgets by calling them by their inferior or backdated versions.
Two-in-One
Our first television set came when I was in the second year of my junior college. My father surprised us with it to our utmost glee. We didn’t have a black and white TV set. I sometimes peeped in to our neighbor’s home to catch a glimpse of ‘Hum Log’ on their black and white TV set.

We directly graduated from radio to a color TV set, the best desi (local/domestic) brand available at that time. The economic reform was yet to start for multinational electronic brands to foray in to our country.

Our family could never rise to the empowering status of possessing a VCR or VCP. Those who had one, would wear an aura of a superior specie than humans on earth. Wives prodded their husbands to buy it so that they could record, play and watch Ramyana and Mahabharata or Buniyad - a family TV soap whenever they wanted and also boast about it in the Haldi Kumkum meetings of ladies from the neighborhood. But it came most useful for watching porn by teenage boys and girls too when their parents were away. Middle aged bored husbands too had a gala time watching porn when their wives went for vacationing at their parents’ homes. A new business of Video Cassette Library mushroomed, providing income to many jobless young and middle aged people or even retired persons.
