It’s a relaxing downtempo instrumental — a collaboration between East and West coast-based Filipinos trying to figure out this country. The song is based on a riff and a series of patches proposed by Ariel and expounded on and sequenced by myself. The result is a light, flowing, driving song which is primarily in E-minor. Very west coast, if you ask me.

Track: Happyland
Here’s a morose introspection in A-minor, quickly escalating into frenzy. Influenced by musical acts: Air and Plone. This is the soundtrack of a cold, conflicting, melancholic Northern California. It is also the name of a real, honest-to-goodness street in the city I live in.
Track: Hymn of College Of Saint Benilde (electropop remix)
Presenting the Hymn of De La Salle -College of Saint Benilde, given an electropop/hiphop spin by yours truly (with a touch of neo-classical in the bridge). Of course you realize all these genre labels sound cool, but that I’m really just making those terms up, right? Hahahahaha!!!!
Track: Midnight Monologue
Inspired to write some gothic-sounding electronic rock because of last Friday’s goth gig at Cubao X, I came up with this anthemic tune in a matter of 3 hours using Reason software and channeling all my angst into it.
Track: Collaboration with Syke on “Pag-Ibig Na Makapangyarihan”
Collaboration with Filipino MC and rapper Syke. The ends result? A hip hop / world music track with doses of electronic yumminess.
Album: Mutatis Mutandis (2003)
