Irises, the sound crafted by Jolianne, an artist rooted in the Philippines, exists within the broad, unconfined umbrella of Music/Other, a genre designation that rejects the pressure to force every recorded work into one of the narrow, preexisting labels that dominate how audiences and industry institutions alike encounter music. To place a work in Music/Other is to refuse to saddle it with the assumptions that come with aligning it with pop, folk, rock, hip-hop, R&B, or any of the dozens of other codified musical forms that audiences have learned to recognize and categorize, and instead to invite anyone who engages with the work to meet it on its own terms, unburdened by expectations of what a work in a standard genre should be, what it should explore, or how it should connect with its audience.
