The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Indonesia, won first place in the singing competition in the vocal group category through the DoreMIPA student vocal group.
DoreMIPA's participation in the competition was in order to enliven the celebration of the 72nd Anniversary of the University of Indonesia which was held virtually on Tuesday (22/2). In addition to the vocal group category, there were 2 other categories competed, namely solo and duo. The announcement of the winners was delivered by Drs. A. G. Sudibyo, M. Si. as the jury team.
“Praise and gratitude to the Almighty, that in order to welcome the 72nd Dies Natalis of UI with the theme UI Serves for National Independence, the committee has given a challenge to all academicians and UI residents to be able to take part in the singing competition”. Said Drs. A. G. Sudibyo, M. Si. before announcing the winners.
"It turns out that the enthusiasm of the UI community and residents is quite large. The participants who took part in this competition were students, lecturers, employees, and alumni," he said.
In addition to himself, the jury team consists of Peny Hutabarat, S. Sos., MSM., and Dr. Drs. R. Yugo Kartono Isal, M. Sc.. Regarding the assessment components, Mr. Dibyo, his nickname among students at UI, said that there are three components, namely Technique, Arrangement, and performance.
"The first winner of DoreMIPA from FMIPA UI with the song Sirih Kuning," said the legendary UI conductor announcing the winners of the singing competition in the Vocal Group category.
Gersom Masengi (Biology), the head of the DoreMIPA team explained that he and his members consisting of Muhammad Naufal (Chemistry), Salma Nadhira Friadi (Biology), Dennys Luciana Marintan (Statistics), Widis Aryasuta Ragawardhana (Geography), Tengku Almira (Geography), Grace Widelia Stefany (Biology), and Sifra Kristiarianti Satria (Biology) as a musician, explained that their preparation was quite short because the registration and material submission deadline was approaching.
After agreeing on the song to be performed, they immediately arranged the song parts and arrangements to be given to the team as accompanying music.
Besides that they have to practice and take vocal from different places, so it is quite complicated when coordinating with each other regarding the distribution of votes and equalizing the harmony.
“Our recording process was quite tight. deadline But fun Yes! After we finished arranging and dividing the parts, we started recording on one of the music applications while making additional harmonies and improvisations. Then, we looked for ideas fresh also like inserting rhymes, as well as choosing dresscode Betawi style that fits the song Sirih Kuning which comes from Jakarta. Need effort "But thankfully everything can be resolved," said Gersom explaining the recording technique to the FMIPA UI public relations team.
Not to mention, Gersom continued, another challenge is during the editing process to combine music material and recordings of both sound and video from each individual into one complete video material.
"There are bound to be sounds that don't fit together at the beginning of the song, or at the end of the song," he added.
He also admitted to being surprised when the jury announced his team as the first winner. He also hopes that DoreMIPA's achievement will motivate other students in the University of Indonesia to develop their talents and abilities outside of lecture activities.
DoreMIPA is a vocal group initiated by several FMIPA UI students from the 2018 batch. This vocal group was formed in 2018 and performed for the first time at the OKK UI Got Talent 2018 event. DoreMIPA is currently still working and filling events including Recording OVIS UI, Biology Festival, OKK UI, Chemistry Fair, LOGIKA UI, and other student organization activities.
Dede Djuhana, Ph. D. as the Dean appreciated the achievements of his students. He said "We, the leaders and lecturers of FMIPA UI appreciate and support our students to explore their potential talents, not only in the academic field, but also non-academic, such as arts, sports, and others".
