AkustiChrisye is a 1996 studio album by the Indonesian singer Chrisye which was produced by Erwin Gutawa. It includes acoustic versions of several of his earlier songs, as well as new material.
The album focused on using acoustic music, which Chrisye described as simple but still requiring serious work. At the time the genre had seen a resurgence in Indonesia, with the state broadcaster TVRI carrying several shows which featured acoustic music. The audio was recorded at Studio 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, and, although expensive, Aciu Widjaja of Musica Studios agreed immediately.
The album was released as a cassette on Musica Studios in 1996 to popular success. "Damai Bersamamu" was the album's only single, while both it and "Kala Sang Surya Tenggelam" received music videos. Chrisye would later emphasise acoustic music on his 1997 album Kala Cinta Menggoda, and continue his collaboration with Gutawa until 2002's Dekade (Decade).
AkustiChrisye has been reissued twice, once as a CD in 2004 and once as part of the Chrisye Masterpiece Trilogy Limited Edition in 2007.
