Produced by Erwin Gutawa, it includes acoustic versions of several of his earlier songs, as well as new material.
==Production== Chrisye and Erwin Gutawa, a conductor who had coordinated Chrisye's first solo concert in 1994, began working on what was to become ''AkustiChrisye'' in 1995.{{sfn|Endah|2007|pp=294–295}} Realising that Western artists such as Frank Sinatra had found success in rearranging their older songs, the two decided to do the same with Chrisye's older work.{{sfn|Endah|2007|p=300}} They chose the songs "Kala Sang Surya Tenggelam" ("When the Sun Set"), "Anak Jalanan" ("Street Child"), and "Smaradhana" ("Passion") from the 1978 album ''Sabda Alam'', as well as "Gita Cinta – Puspa Indah" ("Love Song – Beautiful Flower"), a remix of two songs from the 1980 album ''Puspa Indah''. The album also saw several new songs, written by other artists.{{sfn|Endah|2007|p=301}}
The album focused on using acoustic music, which Chrisye described as simple but still requiring serious work.{{sfn|Kompas 1996, Nama dan Peristiwa}} At the time the genre had seen a resurgence in Indonesia, with the state broadcaster TVRI carrying several shows which featured acoustic music.{{sfn|Rakaryan S. 1997, Chrisye: Pintar-Pintar Kitalah}} The audio was recorded at Studios 301 in Sydney, Australia, with a full orchestra providing backing in a period of three hours. Gutawa had chosen to record in Australia as better equipment was available there,{{sfn|Kompas 1996, Nama dan Peristiwa}} and, although expensive, Aciu Widjaja of Musica Studios agreed immediately.{{sfn|Endah|2007|p=300}}
==Release and reception== The album was released as a cassette by Musica Studios in 1996{{sfn|Kompas 1996, Nama dan Peristiwa}} to popular success. "Damai Bersamamu" was the album's only single,{{sfn|Endah|2007|p=304}} while both it and "Kala Sang Surya Tenggelam" received music videos.{{sfn|Liner notes for ''Chrisye: By Request''}}{{sfn|Liner notes for ''Chrisye: In Memoriam''}} Chrisye would later emphasise acoustic music on his 1997 album ''Kala Cinta Menggoda'' (''When Love Tempts''),{{sfn|Kompas 1996, Nama dan Peristiwa}} and continue his collaboration with Gutawa until 2002's ''Dekade'' (''Decade'').{{sfn|Endah|2007|pp=318–319}}
''AkustiChrisye'' has been reissued twice, once as a CD in 2004{{sfn|KotaBNI.com 2004, Chrisye Rilis Ulang}} and once as part of the ''Chrisye Masterpiece Trilogy Limited Edition'' in 2007.{{sfn|IndonesiaSelebriti.com 2007, Chrisye Rilis Album}}
