Kapanlagi.com - The trend of collecting vinyl records has become a phenomenon among Indonesian artists. Adinda Azani, a soap opera and film actress, is known to have a substantial vinyl collection, referring to it as a treasure for her child. Several local musicians also do not want to miss out, collecting hundreds of vinyl records from various genres. They include Ari Lasso, Ahmad Dhani, Badai Kerispatih, Piyu Padi, Eben the guitarist from Burgerkill, Rian D'Masiv, Ronal Surapradja, and Soleh Solihun.
This phenomenon is further interesting with the emergence of Generation Z, who are also joining the vinyl collection trend. They are willing to spend a lot of money to obtain vinyl from their favorite artists, ranging from Pamungkas, Taylor Swift, to BTS. Music stores have reported an increase in vinyl sales to young buyers.
Even though in the digital era streaming music is so easily accessible, vinyl is increasingly favored by artists and music lovers. This shows that the interest in physical and analog items still exists amidst the practical digital era.
Adinda Azani is among the artists who seriously collect vinyl. This soap opera and film star refers to her vinyl collection as a "treasure" that she will eventually pass on to her child. However, Adinda's journey in collecting vinyl has not always been smooth. She once experienced an unpleasant incident when her valuable collection was submerged in water.
Despite that, Adinda remains consistent in adding to her collection. For her, vinyl is not just a medium for listening to music, but also a form of appreciation for artistic works that have historical and emotional value that cannot be replaced by digital formats.
Not only Adinda, but several Indonesian musicians are also known to have vinyl collections that number in the hundreds. Ryan d Masiv even has up to 1,000 vinyl records in his home.
The vinyl collections of these musicians usually encompass various music genres, ranging from rock, jazz, to disco. For them, vinyl is not just a hobby, but also an inspiration for creating and a reference in making music.
Interestingly, the trend of collecting vinyl is now not only favored by the older generation but also by Gen Z. This generation, born in the digital era, shows a significant interest in analog music formats like vinyl. They collect vinyl records from various artists, both local and international.
Artists like Pamungkas, Taylor Swift, and BTS are some of the musicians whose vinyl records are highly sought after by Gen Z. This phenomenon indicates that vinyl has a unique appeal that transcends generational boundaries and technological eras.
Amid the ease of accessing music through streaming platforms, vinyl is actually gaining value and popularity. Vintage or limited edition vinyl can be priced from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions of rupiah, depending on rarity, condition, and the artist.
Some rare vinyl records are even traded like investment assets. For example, a mint condition (like new) Beatles vinyl can be valued at tens of millions of rupiah. This makes vinyl not only a medium for music but also an asset whose value continues to increase over time.
Behind the trend of vinyl collecting, there exists a community of enthusiasts that is still active today. Communities like Vinylgasm, Jakarta Vinyl Club, and Diskoria regularly hold gatherings, bazaars, and discussions about vinyl. They also actively share information about the latest releases, trusted vinyl stores, and tips on caring for collections.
This community serves as a platform for collectors to exchange experiences and expand their networks. It is not uncommon for artists and musicians to join this community to share their passion for vinyl.
Although digital formats offer convenience, vinyl has its own unique advantages that cannot be matched. The warm and organic sound quality of vinyl is considered more authentic and provides a more immersive listening experience compared to digital formats.
Additionally, vinyl also offers a physical experience that cannot be obtained from streaming. From the detailed cover artwork, insert booklets, to the ritual of playing the record and lowering the needle, all of these create an emotional connection between the listener and the music being heard.
The price of vinyl in the Indonesian market varies significantly. For new release vinyl, prices range from Rp 300,000 to Rp 1,000,000 depending on the artist and edition. Limited edition or box set vinyl is usually priced higher, reaching Rp 2,000,000 to Rp 5,000,000.
Meanwhile, for used or second-hand vinyl, prices are more affordable, starting from Rp 50,000 to Rp 300,000. However, for rare vinyl or those with high historical value, prices can soar into the millions of rupiah.
There are various motivations that drive artists to collect vinyl. For some, vinyl is a form of appreciation for the music and artists they admire. For others, vinyl serves as a source of inspiration in their work and a reference in creating music.
Some artists also collect vinyl as a form of investment, considering the increasing value of rare vinyl. However, the most common factors are nostalgia and a love for the experience of listening to music in an analog format that cannot be replaced by digital formats.
Given the continuously increasing enthusiasm, the trend of vinyl collection is predicted to continue growing in Indonesia. Local record labels have also started producing vinyl to meet market demand. Some Indonesian artists even release their albums in vinyl format as a form of appreciation to their fans.
Vinyl stores are also proliferating in various major cities, not only in Jakarta but also in Bandung, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, and other cities. This shows that the vinyl market in Indonesia still has significant growth potential in the future.
Collecting vinyl is not just about buying, but also about taking care of it to keep it lasting. Collectors, including artists, usually have special methods for maintaining their collections. This includes storing them in anti-static sleeves, cleaning them regularly with a special brush, and keeping them in a vertical position to prevent warping.
Room temperature and humidity are also a concern for collectors. Vinyl should ideally be stored at a temperature of around 18-21 degrees Celsius with a humidity of 45-50% to prevent damage. The experience of Adinda Azani, whose collection was submerged in water, serves as a valuable lesson for collectors to be more careful in storing their precious collections.
