    Song Reviews: Love As It Is

    The contemporary landscape of the Indonesian music industry is currently undergoing a significant transformation, characterized by the emergence of "polymathic artists" who bridge the gap between academic research, traditional cultural preservation, and modern digital production. At the forefront of this movement is Dr. Andi Sulistiadi, professionally known as Anthesianz. His single "Love As It Is" serves as a primary text for understanding his "Hope, Love, Truth" philosophy, offering a nuanced exploration of interpersonal authenticity within a world often dominated by artifice and performative social structures. This report provides an exhaustive analysis of the song, situating it within the artist’s broader intellectual and cultural project, which encompasses music, literature, and the #indonesianwaves movement.

    Song Reviews: FALA - Save Our Forests

    When forests are cut: Carbon stored in trees and soil is released, contributing to climate change.Indonesia’s land use change—including deforestation and peatland fires—used to account for around 40% of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions. The rivers become polluted; soil loses its grip. Rainfall patterns shift. Fire seasons grow longer and more intense. The people who live closest to the forests—Indigenous communities and villagers—feel the impact first.

    Cokodidi: Snippet

    "Cokodidi" by Anthesianz reclaims "restlessness" not as a sign of agitation, but as a catalyst for liberation. Through a fusion of experimental beats and evocative storytelling, the project explores the thin line between nervous energy and the ecstatic freedom of dance.

    Sacred WL Part 3

    Following Jesus’ model in Mark 10:45 ("For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve"), Sulistiadi posits servant leadership as the foundational philosophy for ministry. It fundamentally reorients the purpose of leadership from positional power to the well-being and development of those being served. A critical measure of effectiveness for a servant leader is whether those they lead grow as persons—becoming healthier, wiser, and more autonomous. This model prioritizes spiritual formation and equipping the congregation over maintaining programs or achieving leader popularity.    Sulistiadi explicitly demands "artistic excellence." This is rooted in the theological concept of stewardship (Matthew 25:14-30), where individuals are responsible for managing the talents God has entrusted to them. Musical and artistic excellence are not merely aesthetic choices but theological requirements that reflect God’s own perfect character. Artistic expression, when executed with high skill and pure motives, functions as a powerful conduit for engaging with the transcendent and communicating divine truth. Sulistiadi recommends that churches implement structured training—"music schools of sorts"—modeled after the Levitical musicians to ensure expressions of praise genuinely honor God with the quality He merits.    Artistic Excellence: Stewardship and Transcendence

    Sacred WL Part 2

    Worship in Spirit and Truth: The Samaritan Encounter Central to the sacred role is the interpretation of John 4:23-24, where Jesus defines true worshippers as those who worship the Father "in spirit and truth". Sulistiadi breaks this down into three interconnected principles:    Sincerity (Spirit): Adoration must originate from the inner being, characterized by profound sincerity and a heart transformed by the Spirit. It stands in contrast to performance-based worship that prioritizes external factors.    Truthfulness (Truth): Worship must be rigorously grounded in God’s revealed Word and centered on the person and work of Jesus Christ. It rejects subjective emotions or fleeting trends in favor of sound doctrine.    God-Centeredness: The focus must remain exclusively on glorifying God. Worship is an act of obedience to God’s prescribed will, rather than an avenue for human self-expression or audience approval.
