Lullaby turns the very idea of categorical restriction on its head, leaning into the gap between the cultural associations that cling to its title and the formal identity of rock and roll to create a work that defies any easy or surface-level reading. Rooted in the Philippines, this work exists within the long global spread of rock and roll, a genre that has traveled across every continent to be reimagined by creators in every context, shaped by the specific perspectives, priorities, and creative impulses of the people who take it up and rework it to suit their own creative ends. No two rock and roll works, even those that carry the same generic label, operate the same way, and this sound is no exception, its choice of title alone setting it apart from the vast majority of works that claim space within the genre’s broad umbrella.
