About this Song
The Pop recording "As I Tono" from the Philippines features the distinct "Rockestra" sound of Silent Sanctuary, a six-piece band recognized for integrating classical instruments like cello and violin with traditional band instrumentation. This musical approach has defined their work since 2002, influencing their singles, the EP *Kahimanawari*, and four full-length albums: *Fuschiang Pag-ibig*, *Mistaken For Granted*, *Monodramatic*, and *Langit Luha*. The band's music, often described as anthemic and nostalgic, has resonated with students and younger generations in the Philippines, leading to numerous chart-topping hits including "Ikaw Lamang," "Pasensya Ka Na," "Kundiman," "Hiling," and "Bumalik Ka Na Sa’kin." Silent Sanctuary's songs have also appeared in local movie soundtracks and television series such as *Maalala Mo Sana*, *Balang Araw*, and *Sa’yo*.
