About this Song
Genre classification as a tool for organizing creative work only works when it is paired with specific geographic context that grounds the sound in the space that produced it, a balance that comes through clearly for the rock and roll work titled Landslide, which originates in the Philippines. Framing this sound around its national origins does not box it into any narrow, preordained set of expectations for what music from that region must offer, nor does it force the recording to conform to outside ideas of what rock and roll created in the Philippines has to sound like to fit within either the genre or the regional context. Every sound categorized as rock and roll carries a connection to the genre’s far-reaching global circulation, but each individual recording ties back to the specific location that produced it, grounding that wide-reaching genre form in a set of creative choices that belong exclusively to the work that went into crafting this specific track.
