JAKARTA - Rock guitarist Wancum released a new instrumental single titled Sunflower. This song he dedicated to his wife.

Sunflower tells about the loyalty of his wife who has accompanied Wancum in ups and downs since the beginning of marriage until now.

"Her loyalty and sincerity is like the sun that always shines around her without being asked," Wancum told VOI.

Wrapped in progressive metal music, Sunflower presents frightening guitar distortions, dashing riffs, and elegant lick variants.

The cultivation process takes about two years. Wancum is busy as an office worker, so the reason why the release is delayed.

"It took that long because the writing, recording, mixing, and mastering were all done by myself. Except for the bass line, which was assisted by Daeng Oktav, ex-Edane," said Wancum.

In the writing of Sunflower, Wancum created a song chart that was varied enough to reflect the dynamics of his life journey.

In the joyous part, he plays major chords. While on the theme of the struggle to maintain togetherness, he presented minor chords.

"There is a little bit of emotional involvement, but it doesn't become a limitation because I tend to adhere to a free musical understanding while hiding myself from the limitations of guitar playing techniques," explained Wancum about his creative process.

Sunflower has been available on various digital music platforms since April 15.
