Across the Philippines, creative practitioners working in sound craft works that blur the lines between familiar forms and experimental structural choices, a space that the category of Music/Mix was built to hold, capturing works that resist narrow categorization to lean into the fluidity of cross-contextual creation that defines much of the country’s independent sound landscape. Put to Waste exists within that landscape, a sound that carries all the nuance of a work that rejects the need to fit into preexisting genre boxes, leaning instead into the core purpose of the Music/Mix classification: to hold works that draw from multiple sonic traditions, that weave together disparate strands of creative practice to create something that cannot be reduced to a single, established genre label.
