JAKARTA - Musician Satriyo Yudi Wahono or better known as Piyu, released his latest work entitled Dissolve. This song is dedicated by the Padi guitarist to the late Dendy Mike's.

Dendy Mike's, vocalist for the band Mike's Apartment, died in 2019 from a heart attack. The single song was also used as a movement for the younger generation and heart disease survivors in Indonesia.

"The lyrics are actually about someone who is disappointed maybe because there is a mistake in his life and hurt his partner a little so he feels very sorry, he has to withdraw, Dissolve is like he has to disappear," said Piyu in an official release that was quoted by Antara on Tuesday.

The song Dissolve was actually prepared by Piyu and Dendy in 2014, but has not yet been released. Dendy's death made this song project even more delayed until Piyu finally decided to release it this year.

The movement, which was initiated by Piyu and his late wife Dendy, Cempaka, has several plans, namely fundraising in the form of donations managed by BenihBaik.com and selling Dissolve boxsets consisting of T-shirts and masks from Tendencies with the Artwork Icon Dissolve design from Yongki Pardamean Simanjuntak and Painting Design by Tondi Hasibuan.

Sales of Dissolve songs via download at digital outlets are managed by BSM Records and Upbeat Publishing. All proceeds from donations and sales will be handed over to the Indonesian Heart Foundation.

"What happened to the deceased, it was about the heart. This is a warning to friends. Heart is not only a disease for the elderly, but it can happen to anyone," said Piyu.

On the song Dissolve, listeners can still hear Dendy Mike's signature sound, which was fully produced by Piyu. Piyu also wrote and composed this song.

In addition to the single song, Piyu also released a music video in the form of a short film with a duration of 6 minutes 45 seconds. This video describes the first steps to take when someone has a heart attack.
