About this Song
Within the full scope of catalogue entries that center cross-sectional, assembled sound works from creative communities across the Philippines, 123 occupies a space defined by the core classification of Music/Mix, a category that holds works that resist narrow categorization by pulling from a range of creative traditions, approaches, and modes of sound making that circulate within and beyond the archipelago’s creative landscapes. As a sound work that fits this flexible, expansive classification, 123 aligns with the purpose of the Music/Mix category to hold space for works that do not fit into rigid genre silos, works that instead draw together the many threads of musical and sound practice that emerge from the dynamic, diverse creative communities spread across the Philippines’ hundreds of inhabited islands, each with their own long histories of sound making, cultural exchange, and artistic evolution that feed into the full range of works catalogued from the region.
