Collaborating Harmony: Dwiki Dharmawan (occasionally referred just as Collaborating Harmony) is the first tribute album by Indonesian musician and songwriter Dwiki Dharmawan. It was released digitally by Sony Music Indonesia on 6 February 2014, almost a year after his special album, Menembus Batas. Created as part of his thirtieth anniversary celebration, the album was inspired by Dwiki's musical journey in Indonesian music over the years and consists of twelve tracks that are mostly remakes of Dwiki's songs, along with the new song "Kerinduanku". Sony Indonesia's founder Jan Djuhana served as the album's executive producer, with Badai, Erwin Bragi, Tanto of the Groove, Tito P. Soenardi and others contributed production.
The tribute album was announced on 9 December 2013. Musically, it is primarily a pop record with elements of teen pop, jazz fusion, rock, and orchestral music. The album was preceded by the lead single "Imaji" sung by Shena Malsiana, which previously released on 11 December 2013. A physical version of the album was released on 25 February 2014 to generally positive reviews from critics, who complimented its fresh arrangement and interaction with the "new generation" singers and music directors.
Background
On 9 December 2013, during the conference at RCTI Kebon Jeruk Studio, it was reported that Alex Rudiart and Shena Malsiana involved on a then-upcoming compilation album with a then-unknown arranger and musician,{{Cite news |date=9 December 2013 |title=Alex Rudiart & Shena Terlibat di Album Kompilasi |url=https://celebrity.okezone.com/read/2013/12/09/386/909309/alex-rudiart-shena-terlibat-di-album-kompilasi |access-date=28 February 2024 |work=Okezone}} which was later confirmed to be Dwiki Dharmawan. Shortly after, Dwiki began explaining which music genre heard by teenagers and younger children.{{cite web|title=Demi Album Baru, Dwiki Dharmawan Gaul dengan Anak Muda|url=https://www.liputan6.com/showbiz/read/836505/demi-album-baru-dwiki-dharmawan-gaul-dengan-anak-muda|first= |last= |date=25 February 2014|accessdate=9 April 2024|language=id |website=Liputan 6 |archive-date=|archive-url=}} The title Collaborating Harmony describes Dwiki's musical journey in Indonesian music for the last three decades.{{Cite web|date=25 February 2014|title=Jejak Musik Dwiki Dharmawan Ada di Album Collaborating Harmony|url=https://www.tribunnews.com/seleb/2014/02/25/jejak-musik-dwiki-dharmawan-ada-di-album-collaborating-harmony|website=Tribun Seleb|accessdate=31 July 2023}} From most of his songs, twelve of them are chosen to be sung by young singers.
