Oliver Tree, the sole credited artist behind the work that bears the title Bounce, brings the full weight of his established creative perspective to every choice that shapes this recording, which carries a geographic marker tying its origins to the Philippines, a nation with a long, rich history of creative music-making that spans every conceivable approach to sound, from traditional forms rooted in centuries of cultural practice to experimental work that pushes against every limit of what audiences and critics have come to expect from recorded music. The classification of this work under the genre heading Music/Other is a deliberate choice that reflects the way this recording defies easy categorization, refusing to slot neatly into any of the more familiar, widely used genre labels that are applied to the majority of commercial and independent sound recordings circulated today.
