About this Song
Palagi, the sound at the center of this entry, carries the exclusive creative credit of TJ Monterde, whose practice is formally tied to the Philippines, the country that forms the only documented geographic origin of this work. The genre classification assigned to Palagi is structured as three sequential Other categorizations, a framing that positions the work outside the scope of the widely codified, mainstream genre labels that are most often applied to recorded sounds from any global creative context. This classification leaves no pre-determined framing of what the sound contains, no shorthand to signal a familiar set of creative conventions that an audience might expect to encounter when engaging with the work, and no box that limits how the sound can be interpreted or experienced by anyone who encounters it.
