JAKARTA - Dadang S Manaf's name is known as one of the great songwriters in the 1980s. His songs were performed by many famous singers at that time, such as Utha Likumahuwa, Ermy Kulit, Fariz RM, Iis Sugianto, Hetty Koes Endang, to Sheila Majid.

Until now, Dadang is still making songs. However, he is no longer active in making pop songs, but therapeutic music.

Based on VOI's monitoring, Dadang S Manaf has uploaded dozens of songs on Spotify this year. Some of the songs are therapeutic music and illustrations of music.

For therapeutic music, what Dadang has worked on a lot is ambient (environmental) and music with a frequency (central A) of 432 Hz.

"For the time being, I'm trying to make therapeutic music, I'm ambient types of music, 432. This means that the nerves will slack off, so I make the frequency 432 (generally using 440 Hz)," said Dadang S Manaf when met in Kemang, South Jakarta recently.

"Well, I make music like that. I also make illustrations of music. Sometimes I also make new songs that I have myself," he continued.

Furthermore, Ahmad Dhani's older brother said the songs could be used for many things, such as lullers and encouragement.

Not only that, Dadang feels that making music for therapy is also good for calming himself down.

"Yes, to calm my soul too," concluded Dadang S Manaf.
