JAKARTA - Two Bara Suara personnel, Iga Massardi and Gerald Situmorang, saw that music and film had become two increasingly difficult elements to separate.

As is known, Bara Suara felt the positive impact when their song, 'Found In Time', was introduced as the original soundtrack (Ost.) of the film Sore: Wife of the Future.

In addition, when the 2025 Indonesian Music Award (AMI) was nominated, the JUMBO film Ost received 13 nominations, which became its own achievement.

For Iga, the position of music in film works is important, thus forming a separate correlation, which ultimately affects people who watch it.

"Those seem to be two elements that cannot be separated... We are really moved by the elements of music in the film, whether it's in the form of soundtracks, whether it's an original scoring, or whatever, so that it becomes a correlation," said Iga when met at Blok M, South Jakarta recently.

"Indeed, we can never predict how films and music will get appreciation. But then finally when it rolled and got good appreciation, it became clearer that indeed the music and film were two elements that could not be separated," he added.

In addition, Gerald underlined, what happened in the film Sore and JUMBO where the soundtrack received good appreciation showing music is not just a patch on film works.

"Why do we picky for our songs to be used as soundtracks? We don't want to just be a patch that doesn't have a corner," concluded Gerald.
