The creative framework that underpins this collaborative sound draws together two distinct creative voices, each bringing their own established practice to the project that would become lovely, the work rooted in the dynamic creative ecosystem of the Philippines, categorized within the broad, inclusive Music/Other grouping that holds work that resists narrow, prescriptive genre framing.
