It bows to no one, a medium that is brave, bold, and dominant all at once. For some, it is a way to relax or to work—a channel for leisure or productivity, or even both. For others, it is company—an avenue to fill up the room when silence can be deafening. Through conversations with individuals that have made huge leaps in their career and personal lives, breaking boundaries from within and redefining Filipino culture and creativity, we learn how these people place music in their lives, whether it has deepened their roots in their favorite genres, or it has evolved their music taste. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We get to know their personality, characteristics, one sound, one tune at a time.

After becoming a graphic designer straight from college, he ventured into toy design, building his brand around what he enjoys the most—Japanese robots, Hiphop music, and graffiti culture. For him, music has a big part in his life, interests, and in work. “Whenever I travel, I have Spotify on. When I sleep at night, I usually listen to podcasts or sleep music. For work, it sets my rhythm and pace throughout my tasks for the day,” he said.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For Ida Anduyan, who is a limitless, boundless artist and creative that utilizes music as not only a source of inspiration, but a source of energy and relaxation, cites how her relationship with music is constant. “Though my preference always changes, music is always there. It depends on my two moods—locked in or nonchalant. For me, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">ang boring kapag walang music </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">(without music, it’s boring)</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Music adds a layer to my inspiration, adding more aura to any activity that I do,” she shared.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For John Uy, the president and CEO of Karpos Multimedia, the company behind Wanderland, he has formed a deep relationship and appreciation for music. For him, he listens to music everywhere. He said, “I do have a very sacred time listening to different types of music.”</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-2" data-row="script-row-unique-2"

been obsessed with music since she was a kid. “Right now though, my music listening habits change depending on what I am doing at the moment. If I’m working, I listen to Lo-Fi, chill, instrumental tunes. Otherwise, I play pick-me-up pop songs. That’s where Ariana Grande comes into the scene,” she said in our interview.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Frances Lim Cabatuando, better known as Mayora Frances, is the founder of HOME BUDDIES, an online barangay where people can talk anything and everything about home living. In all her roles, whether it’s at home or at HOME BUDDIES, she is the problem solver. However, when it comes to music, she feels like she has no problems to solve in music—she knows what kind or genre of music she likes. “Most of the time, I’m alone, so I play music to keep me company. When I’m driving, I like singing along to albums like “eternal sunshine”. When it’s raining, I listen to cozy music. When I go to bed, I like old love songs because when I was young, my parents would turn the radio on, and Air Supply’s love songs would play,” she shared.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Marga Bermudez is an entertainment director, DJ, and entrepreneur. On and off the mixer, she said that music revolves around everything that she does, “from being a DJ to an events producer. It also depends on my moods and where my current headspace is at the moment.”</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-4" data-row="script-row-unique-4" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-4"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-5"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" style="max-width:80%;"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-99007" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Abi-Marquez-Spotify-Wrapped-Purveyr-2024-3.x29496.jpg" width="1200" height="1800" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Abi-Marquez-Spotify-Wrapped-Purveyr-2024-3.jpg 1200w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Abi-Marquez-Spotify-Wrapped-Purveyr-2024-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Abi-Marquez-Spotify-Wrapped-Purveyr-2024-3-1000x1500.jpg 1000w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Abi-Marquez-Spotify-Wrapped-Purveyr-2024-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Abi-Marquez-Spotify-Wrapped-Purveyr-2024-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Abi-Marquez-Spotify-Wrapped-Purveyr-2024-3-350x525.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="uncode_text_column" ></p> <h2><b>Shaping Music in Different Forms</b></h2> <p> </div><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Abi Marquez is the 2024 James Beard and Webby food content awardee who wants to inspire other people to cook more. For her, food transcends age—everyone eats, all age groups enjoy it. Music, in the same way, transcends her many phases in life. “My first relationship with music was when I had to dance with my siblings when I was a kid. Then it became singing—I even took voice lessons for five to six years, performing at events at school. At the end of highschool, I was into dance, dancing competitively. Then, in university, I was just into listening more. Right now, I still love singing so I often sing along to the music I play,” she said.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shayna Cua is a movement artist who trained in dance for twenty years. Throughout her career, her relationship with music has been complex—as she listens to it as often as she could, it has been hard to differentiate between listening as a relaxation and for work. She shares that her relationship with music for work and music for leisure is different. “The former entails </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">taking</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from music, carving out time for this to focus on and learn its beats, its rhythms.

In May, my top artist was Hippocampus, an all-time favorite artist. In July, it served as my introduction to Chappell Roan. I’m not at all surprised because I actively sing to these songs.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For Aryn, she was also not surprised when “All I Ever Wanted” by Yebba was part of her top songs, considering how obsessed she was with her since she is able to do excellent singing, with the vocal acrobats she is able to do. “I was also not surprised with my Music Evolution since the likes of Caroline Polachek, Ariana Grande, and Bryson Tiller were there. It really reflected the kind of music I gravitated towards.”</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-8" data-row="script-row-unique-8" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-8"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-9"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-99014" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/John-Uy-Spotify-Wrapped-Purveyr-2024-1.x29496.jpg" width="1202" height="1800" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/John-Uy-Spotify-Wrapped-Purveyr-2024-1.jpg 1202w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/John-Uy-Spotify-Wrapped-Purveyr-2024-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/John-Uy-Spotify-Wrapped-Purveyr-2024-1-1002x1500.jpg 1002w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/John-Uy-Spotify-Wrapped-Purveyr-2024-1-768x1150.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/John-Uy-Spotify-Wrapped-Purveyr-2024-1-1026x1536.jpg 1026w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/John-Uy-Spotify-Wrapped-Purveyr-2024-1-350x524.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1202px) 100vw, 1202px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="uncode_text_column" ></p> <h2><b>Determinant for Milestones and Memories</b></h2> <p> </div><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ida has shared that during the month prior to her wedding, she kept on listening to instrumentals for her wedding. She shared, “I wanted to find a specific song that reflected both our souls, and I think music expresses those quite well when it’s reflected on mindfully, and that reflected on my Music Evolution.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For John, while his taste is really dependent on what music is out, he agrees that it will always be a good representation of what his mood was that month, and what he was busy with. “For example, in February, there was a lot of preparation for Wanderland so the artists included there were artists we tried to book. In March, I listened to a lot of local artists since I was looking for new Pinoy artists I needed to be aware of.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For Marga, it mirrored what she was going through and had gone through this year. “This year’s results, especially the Music Evolution, were pretty accurate since my March result reflected the opening of the bar, and in October, it was a high energy time and phase.”</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-9" data-row="script-row-unique-9" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-9"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-10"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" style="max-width:80%;

><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like people, music has its many faces, each face contributing to a person’s life and personality. For these individuals that are movers of their own industries, music has been omni-present—changing the way they do their crafts. Music never takes a backseat in their lives, something that they have acknowledged and have remained grateful for. While this is a mere image taken of each individual, it cannot be stressed enough that they are lovers of music, steadfast in maintaining a close relationship with such. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Furthermore, in the different Music Evolutions we saw, it is a tool to understand ourselves and the journeys that we have had. Truly, it is a way for us to not only look back on the year, but also provide a way for us to introspect and subsequently, recognize ourselves in a familiar, or different light. Either way, it will still be us at the end of the day.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the world continues to turn, and as your lives move forward, there’s nothing to do left but to tune into the beat, and find solace in those rhythms that have been a home to your emotions and memories.</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-13"

This product highlights Asics’ motto of “sound mind, sound body”, with its ability to balance harmony, as the shoe serves as a staple in one’s style and philosophy and still be flexible for different needs and environments. It is nothing short of extraordinary, with its constant use of Dyneema material all throughout the design. However, not only was this a feat on its own, but is also a symbol for how everyday life can be incorporated in design, whether it is through the elements of the product, or through the story behind its creation.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During the visit, we had a discussion with Jun Takei, designer for SportStyle, who delved into the process of the collaboration, as well as the accomplishments and challenges that came along with it. In this conversation, we highlight the role of everyday life in design, and what designers can reflect on. It can also provide the motivation to explore the elements that make up our lives, where we can hail ideas and concepts from.</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script

Archisite ORU was a collaboration between Asics SportStyle and architect <a href="https://kkaa.co.jp/en/">Kengo Kuma</a>, known for the National Stadium where Tokyo 2020 Olympic games were held, the Starbucks Coffee at Dazaifu, Kyushu, and the Nezu Museum. With Kengo Kuma hailing from a background of architecture, and Asics from sports, they focused on the theme, “</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tsunagu (繋ぐ)”</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which means to connect. This theme also aims to connect time, and technology. In addition to that, it wants to proceed to the future with the elements of today that remain tethered to change itself, and be able to support new lifestyles as we traverse through modern society. Because of the rapid pace of the world today, our values as people have changed. This led to Asics exploring the need to create a concept that can withstand such changes. Since Asics wants to honor the need for a consistent personal style, they want to balance such with the variability of time. This balance is thus reflected in Archisite ORU. This was also highlighted in the story of the collaboration, where Asics and Kengo Kuma employed a reflection on people’s lifestyles situated in different locations — whether it may be in a construction site, an office or a hotel lobby. </span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-20" data-row="script-row-unique-20" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-20"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-21"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:80%;"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98909" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/asics-paris-kengo-kuma-13.x29496.jpg" width="1800" height="1200" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/asics-paris-kengo-kuma-13.jpg 1800w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/asics-paris-kengo-kuma-13-300x200.jpg 300w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/asics-paris-kengo-kuma-13-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/asics-paris-kengo-kuma-13-768x512.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/asics-paris-kengo-kuma-13-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/asics-paris-kengo-kuma-13-350x233.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-21" data-row="script-row-unique-21" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-21"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-22"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:80%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“At the start of this project, [Kengo Kuma] asked us if we could create shoes with a duality that could be worn in different situations.

To achieve this, they are always trying out the latest technology. At </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Asics</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> [SportStyle] too, they aim to develop shoes that are comfortable all day long, utilizing the technology they have developed in performance to help people lead active lifestyles.”</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-23" data-row="script-row-unique-23" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-23"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-24"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:80%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While at first glance architecture and shoes are far from similar, looking at the two more closely, they both share the same desire to enrich people’s lives and make these more comfortable. As Jun has said, “I believe this is [why] we have been able to create good synergy</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> between the two</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, although they are completely different fields.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There were also challenges that they faced with the Archisite ORU. “[While it was] not difficult, the most important thing was to find a shape that could be folded, which is also the origin of the name “Archisite ORU”. Taking inspiration from origami and other arts, we sought a silhouette that could be folded in various ways, allowing the comfort inside the shoe to be adjusted by the folding gesture.” This is how Dyneema, the main material, was discovered and notably used.</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-24" data-row="script-row-unique-24" type="text/javascript"

important for Jun, along with the Asics SportStyle team, that they take inspiration from real life experiences, especially when designing objects and structures. “</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Times are changing faster than ever before, and people’s values are changing every day. We want to continue to evolve and provide people with things that they find fresh. To do that, I think it’s very important to think about what you feel in your daily life and how you [express] it.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When asked for Jun’s source of inspiration, he mentions that he has been exposed to animation because of collaborative projects including well-known anime series like Naruto. Despite this, rather than an inspiration, he recognizes that it is just part of the creative process</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Instead, he puts more emphasis on everyday life, where he gets his new ideas that subsequently fuels his creativity. It is important for him to go out, to interact with various people, in order to be able to create a product that will be used by such individuals. Especially now that trends are changing, he also wants to highlight the need for collaboration, which he mentioned as the key to a new audience. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Everyday life, as exemplified by this collaboration, is crucial and powerful in shaping ideas and forming objects. While it can serve as the main source of our inspiration, it can also serve as the outlook where we envision our products being utilized. This conversation, along with the many insights from Jun, provides a tangible reference for creatives all over the world to simply go out, and experience life, especially now that it is ever-changing and ever-evolving. We must look around and see for ourselves what life is all about.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After all, you may be one moment away from a great idea.</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-26" data-row="script-row-unique-26" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-26"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row style-color-jevc-bg row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-27"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-3 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-3 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="uncode_text_column" ></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 12pt;

While a brief as open and general as this often poses difficulties on narrowing down a particular route, not bound by a particular prompt, they used this as an opportunity to fully be creative and intentional with their creative process. This eventually landed them three concepts before arriving at the Araw-Araw blend.</p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-29" data-row="script-row-unique-29" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-29"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-30"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:80%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span style="font-size: 24pt;">Intentionality in Concept</span></p> </div><div class="uncode_text_column" ></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">The first concept was environment-based. It explored Manila as a tropical destination—often associated with tropical fruits like mangoes and oranges. While these fruits are mainstays in how we imagine tropical settings, in terms of specialty coffee, flavors with mangoes and orange notes are not so common. The second concept had a cultural approach, taking inspiration from the idea of Filipino childhood—of waking up every morning to the smell of coffee and bread and seeing the adults around you dip their warm pandesals over mugs of hot coffee.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Lastly, the third concept was a simple and straightforward interpretation of Manila—highlighting its grit and raw charm. This concept was borne out of mundane day-to-day observations of the team towards Manila—how instead of looking down, one must start looking up and around to appreciate its charm—decades-old houses, 90s architecture, bare lots overgrown with vegetation, and the way Manila sunlight lands on surfaces. All these micro personalities and hidden gems of Manila that we often take for granted make up its unparalleled allure.</span></p> <p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-30" data-row="script-row-unique-30" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-30"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-31"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" style="max-width:70%; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98816" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Common-Man-Coffee-Roasters-Manila-Araw-Araw-PURVEYR-Everywhere-We-Shoot-02.x29496.jpg" width="1067" height="1600" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Common-Man-Coffee-Roasters-Manila-Araw-Araw-PURVEYR-Everywhere-We-Shoot-02.jpg 1067w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Common-Man-Coffee-Roasters-Manila-Araw-Araw-PURVEYR-Everywhere-We-Shoot-02-200x300.jpg 200w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Common-Man-Coffee-Roasters-Manila-Araw-Araw-PURVEYR-Everywhere-We-Shoot-02-1000x1500.jpg 1000w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Common-Man-Coffee-Roasters-Manila-Araw-Araw-PURVEYR-Everywhere-We-Shoot-02-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Common-Man-Coffee-Roasters-Manila-Araw-Araw-PURVEYR-Everywhere-We-Shoot-02-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Common-Man-Coffee-Roasters-Manila-Araw-Araw-PURVEYR-Everywhere-We-Shoot-02-350x525.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" style="max-width:70%; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98817" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/061424-cmcr-arawaraw-purveyr-1.x29496.jpg" width="1200" height="1800" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/061424-cmcr-arawaraw-purveyr-1.jpg 1200w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/061424-cmcr-arawaraw-purveyr-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/061424-cmcr-arawaraw-purveyr-1-1000x1500.jpg 1000w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/061424-cmcr-arawaraw-purveyr-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/061424-cmcr-arawaraw-purveyr-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/061424-cmcr-arawaraw-purveyr-1-350x525.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-31" data-row="script-row-unique-31" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-31"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-32"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:80%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span style="font-size: 24pt;">Intentionality in Taste</span></p> </div><div class="uncode_text_column" ></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">This celebration of Manila’s raw charm is how Common Man Coffee Roasters chose to do its homage to Manila, the city that embraced it with open arms. Translating this raw charm into a blend meant finding the balance between what Filipinos know coffee to be, which is chocolate and nutty notes and something new that Common Man Coffee Roasters aims to offer, which are fruity notes.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">The result? A blend that starts with taste notes of chocolates but slowly transitions a hint of black currant and ends with notes of blueberries for a lingering fruity aftertaste. This subtle fruity aftertaste is their way of providing their patrons an entry point to a different flavor profile of coffee, potentially expanding the Filipinos’ coffee palate.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">“It was always about meeting them [customers] halfway,” they shared. “We could easily just push for what we want, but instead we always ask ourselves, ‘What do our consumers want?’ But at the same time, we did not want to stray away from what we’re used to as a brand so the balance is introducing something new but in a slower and more subtle way.”</span></p> <p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-32" data-row="script-row-unique-32" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-32"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-33"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-4 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" style="max-width:80%;

A lot of younger Filipinos prefer it plain iced so they made sure that it works well as an iced americano.

Considered as having the strongest portfolio of Asics SportStyle collaborations by </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C8uZ5TcKdkx/?img_index=1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hartcopy</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Cecilie Bahnsen’s fourth creation is a recalibrated version of the Gel-Quantum 360 VIII. In true CB fashion, the upper is completely overhauled to inject their playfulness to the technically-serious shoe. It is another well-coordinated contrast that makes every Cecilie Bahnsen x Asics SportStyle shoe enchanting. The campaign featured Danish gymnast Frida Lund who captures the power and delicacy of the design. And as Cecilie Bahnsen believes, “this collaboration continues to exemplify how function and fashion can coexist beautifully.”</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script

architect <a href="https://kkaa.co.jp/en/">Kengo Kuma</a>. The ‘Archisite ORU’ is initially inspired by the lifestyle of people coming in and out of construction sites—a footwear that is flexible enough to be worn in construction sites but also in more casual settings like an office or a hotel. More than the duality of the new model—made for harsh conditions but still useful for everyday events—it’s Kengo’s desire to transcend constraints of time that encapsulates the concept. In addition to the motivation of ‘Archisite ORU,’ another interesting idea is how the Asics SportStyle design team incorporated Kengo Kuma’s two beliefs: “to use a single material for a surface to unify the world view of his buildings,” and “to blur the boundary between the inside and outside of a building.” With all these elements in mind, the team chose to use ‘Dyneema’—a technical fiber with excellent impact and tear resistance—to create the multifaceted ‘Archisite ORU.’</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-43" data-row="script-row-unique-43"

<a href="https://doublet-jp.com/">Doublet</a> is the brand established by Masayuki Ino in 2012. Adding to his many accolades, he won the 2018 LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers further validating the value of his outrageous but always with-a-dash-of-humor perspective on streetwear and fashion.</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-45" data-row="script-row-unique-45" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-45"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-46"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:80%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jumping off of his reputation of creating off-center fashion products and collections, it is quite a surprise that his first collaboration releases with Asics seemingly look regular from afar. However, upon a closer look, the two models—his versions of the Gel-Kayano 20 and Gel-Nimbus 10.1—actually offer playful and perceptive details through materiality. Only in Masayuki Ino’s mind can the idea of “out of the box,” be about the box. The Gel-Nimbus 10.1 design started with his desire to only use one material for the upper of the shoe, but the real brilliance is in the sublimation of the Asics shoebox on Tyvek—a synthetic material made from high-density polyethylene fibers—that was used for the shoe. While Tyvek is fairly durable it isn’t as weatherproof and impact-resistant, which makes the upper of the shoe more prone to material change through use and time. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">“As [the] sneakers are worn daily or exposed to the sun, they gradually change the material and texture [to] look like a real carton box. I really like the realistic feeling and the process of this change,” Masayuki Ino shared.</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-46"

Melbourne-native fashion and sneaker store <a href="https://uptherestore.com/">Up There</a> and Asics SportStyle. The project gave birth to a warm Gel-Terrain inspired by the colors of autumn in Australia. And as a nod to the Australian spirit of adventure, Up There decided to incorporate a carabiner to the silhouette. The Gel-Terrain was presented through an installation featuring ‘creatures’ made of recycled materials that suggests the blurring line between living and inanimate. The highlight of this Gel-Terrain is the striking yet well balanced mix of colors making the collaborative pair an interesting choice for sneaker aficionados.</span></p> </div><div id="gallery-166871"

But this does not fully capture the cycle of inspiration and innovation that actually happens. More accurately, we take inspiration and references from what’s done in the past, modernize the design based on current trends, and apply new technologies to make it better. The perfect recipe for making products that embrace both form and function.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This convergence of inspiration from heritage and innovation from today’s advancing technology is what <a href="https://www.adidas.com.ph/">adidas</a> has been so adept at doing. Arguably, they do it best. From the Gazelle to the Samba, Handball Spezial, and Campus. Now, there’s a new addition to the roster. This time taking inspiration from the running craze of the 70s — the <a href="https://www.adidas.com.ph/t_toe-sl_72">SL 72</a>.</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script

style="font-size: 12pt;">Film photos are by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/j.ericbico/">Eric Bico</a> featuring Filipino creatives who joined the exclusive atmos x adidas SL 72 community day. It was an afternoon of camaraderie over stories about the adidas SL 72 and Martin David’s trip to the adidas Headquarters in Germany. Creatives from different backgrounds from fashion, food, media, art and music came together to celebrate and get to deepen their love and knowledge about sneakers.</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Created in 1972 with the original purpose of having a pair of shoes that was extremely light for runners to use for the 1972 Olympics, the adidas SL 72 was revolutionary. Contrary to the prevalent running shoes going around at that time that were purely made of leather, adidas founder Adi Dassler changed the material of the SL 72’s upper from leather to nylon which became the signature technology of the shoe. This redesign significantly cut its weight and became relevant to what the runners back then truly needed. Hence, it was aptly named SL 72; SL quite literally stands for <em>Super Light</em>.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This keen attention to detail on optimizing performance through adidas’ products is reflective of Adi Dassler’s passion of equipping athletes with the best possible gear. At its core, the brand really puts a keen focus on function. The striking form is an added bonus. </span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-56" data-row="script-row-unique-56" type="text/javascript"

Take for instance the Samba. These were originally intended for use by the German National Football Team in snowy and icy pitches because the circular cup in its soles made gliding through the terrain smoother and made the players run faster — even giving the illusion that the players were dancing. Hence, the name <em>Samba</em>. Another fascinating footwear is their Adilette which was originally designed to be worn in the showers to avoid athletes from getting infected with fungus or whatnot.</span></p> </div><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 85%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98704" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Martin-David-by-Eric-Bico-2-adidas-sl72-atmos.x29496.jpg" width="1067" height="1600" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Martin-David-by-Eric-Bico-2-adidas-sl72-atmos.jpg 1067w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Martin-David-by-Eric-Bico-2-adidas-sl72-atmos-200x300.jpg 200w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Martin-David-by-Eric-Bico-2-adidas-sl72-atmos-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Martin-David-by-Eric-Bico-2-adidas-sl72-atmos-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Martin-David-by-Eric-Bico-2-adidas-sl72-atmos-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Martin-David-by-Eric-Bico-2-adidas-sl72-atmos-350x525.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/martinbdavid/">Martin David</a> of Sole Movement.

Martin David, founder of <a href="https://solemovement.com/">Sole Movement</a>, experienced a walk down adidas’ memory lane when he visited the adidas HQ in Germany. <em>“Going through everything we saw, it really made sense because he [Adi Dassler] really thought of what shoe to use when it’s snowing or what slide to wear when you’re in the shower,”</em> he shared during the adidas Community Series last April 19 at atmos Philippines which celebrated the SL 72.</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-58" data-row="script-row-unique-58"

craze blowing up in recent years, adidas going back to the SL 72 silhouette is the most obvious move. In addition to that, the past retro sneakers like the Samba, Gazelle, Campus, and Handball Spezial all had something in common: they’re lightweight and low-profile; classic and unassuming. Combining its running heritage and low-profile style, SL 72 answers to both the running community and style enthusiasts.</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-60" data-row="script-row-unique-60" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-60"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-61"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:95%;"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98713" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/adidas-sl72-film_atmosxpurveyr-3.x29496.jpg" width="1600" height="1070" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/adidas-sl72-film_atmosxpurveyr-3.jpg 1600w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/adidas-sl72-film_atmosxpurveyr-3-300x201.jpg 300w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/adidas-sl72-film_atmosxpurveyr-3-1500x1003.jpg 1500w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/adidas-sl72-film_atmosxpurveyr-3-768x514.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/adidas-sl72-film_atmosxpurveyr-3-1536x1027.jpg 1536w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/adidas-sl72-film_atmosxpurveyr-3-350x234.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-61" data-row="script-row-unique-61" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-61"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-62"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:85%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Looking at it from a bigger perspective, it’s interesting that the recent <em>“it”</em> sneakers have all been nods to the past. The resurgence of these iconic silhouettes is proof that the demand for retro will always be there. <em>“I think there’s always space for retro. I mean, we’re now all wearing Sambas, Gazelles, and Campuses. Superstars even. There’s a reason why they’re coming back and why they’re popular because they’re very good shoes. When you talk about retro sneakers, there’s a bit of nostalgia tied to it. There’s also the way these sneakers make walking easier or running more comfortable,”</em> Martin said.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Erika Yamaguchi of atmos Philippines echoes this sentiment. <em>“The difference that I see now is people buy shoes for comfort. So if you have a retro that’s been innovated based on what the feedback was, — to make it comfier, lighter, and not straining on the feet — you get the look that is still retro but that’s so much better function-wise. So I think that’s why retro sneakers are really popular these days.”</em></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><em>“When pieces are done right, they live forever,”</em> Martin quipped. And adidas Originals’ heritage sneaker designs are testament to this.</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-62" data-row="script-row-unique-62" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-62"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row style-color-jevc-bg row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-63"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="uncode_text_column" ></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 12pt; color: #ffffff;">CREDITS</span></strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span class="font-805096" style="color: #ffffff; font-size: 10pt;">WRITER <a href="https://purveyr.com/author/tricia/">Tricia Quintero</a><br /> PHOTOGRAPHER <a href="https://www.instagram.com/j.ericbico/">Eric Bico</a><br /> EDITOR & LAYOUT <a href="https://purveyr.com/author/marvin/">Marvin Conanan</a><br /> </span></p> <p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><strong><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 12pt; color: #ffffff;">SUPPORT PURVEYR</span></strong></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">If you like this story and would love to read more like it, we hope you can support us for as low as ₱100.

So much so that most of her works involve people viewing art. To her, without the artist, there is no artwork; but without the audience, the artwork does not matter for it’s the audience’s role to appreciate the work. Without them, an object is just an object. Thus, a symbiotic relationship exists between the art, artist, and the audience.</p> <p>We sat down with Annie Cabigting, a Filipino artist who splits her time between Philippines and Bangladesh, for a discussion where she emphasized this theme over and over: how the viewer is important to art and how she shares her experience to her viewers.</p> <p>“What you see is what it is” is the best way to describe her work. Annie approaches her art in a straightforward way—even sharing that she does not have a creative process when she makes art. “Mine is very organic. I don’t sit down and think of what to do. It happens when I’m walking; it happens [with] just a spark of an idea so there’s no [method].”</p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-65" data-row="script-row-unique-65" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-65"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-66"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" style="max-width:90%;"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98644" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Purveyr-Annie-Cabigting-58.x29496.jpg" width="1067" height="1600" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Purveyr-Annie-Cabigting-58.jpg 1067w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Purveyr-Annie-Cabigting-58-200x300.jpg 200w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Purveyr-Annie-Cabigting-58-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Purveyr-Annie-Cabigting-58-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Purveyr-Annie-Cabigting-58-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Purveyr-Annie-Cabigting-58-350x525.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-bottom pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" style="max-width:90%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p>Her approach is also instinctual. “The deep part of the process is when I conceptualize the show, but when I choose the pieces, it’s more instinctual…Usually I choose the pieces by thinking of where I’m going to show so knowing the space that I’m going to show is part of the work.”</p> <p>Asked about how she explains her artworks to other people, Annie’s response is simple: she would never describe her work. “You can’t describe a work, they must experience it…Art must be experienced, the same way art must be viewed.”</p> <p>“If I do have to explain it, I would say photorealist…I would usually open my phone then show [to people]. They’ll usually say, ‘Oh! the person is part of the work,’ and I’ll say yes. The audience is an integral part of how we view any work of art. There is a symbiosis of what is art. If there’s no audience, it’s just another decor on the wall.”</p> <p>Looking at her work in person, a common theme is other artists’ works. Annie shares it’s a tribute to art as the subject of her work is art. As a viewer looking at her work, there are things that can be researched related to art. That is precisely her intention. “It’s like continuing the baton of whoever the artist is. Because a lot [of artists], I think were just not highlighted. It’s forgotten or buried in the annals of history.”</p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-66" data-row="script-row-unique-66" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-66"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-67"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-8 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" style="max-width:75%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;">“[She is] the writer, the critic, the audience.

During the 60s and 70s, Chabet had an artwork wherein he tore up a book of Contemporary Philippine Art By Manuel D. Duldulao. He placed some of the torn papers in the trashcan and scattered the others. Annie said that when people saw the trashcan and the torn-up book inside, they thought that it was a regular trash bin. They even threw trash in it.</p> <p>There was an image taken during Chabet’s CCP show. It was a picture of a woman–who happens to be a writer–looking down at the torn Duldulao book. Annie explains “No one is paying attention to the work except her. [She is] the writer, the critic, the audience. All in one person. That’s what we are. We are important in appreciating the work.”</p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-69" data-row="script-row-unique-69" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-69"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-70"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:75%;"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98648" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Annie-Cabigting-Tearing-Into-Pieces-2005.x29496.jpg" width="1600" height="1029" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Annie-Cabigting-Tearing-Into-Pieces-2005.jpg 1600w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Annie-Cabigting-Tearing-Into-Pieces-2005-300x193.jpg 300w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Annie-Cabigting-Tearing-Into-Pieces-2005-1024x659.jpg 1024w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Annie-Cabigting-Tearing-Into-Pieces-2005-768x494.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Annie-Cabigting-Tearing-Into-Pieces-2005-1536x988.jpg 1536w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Annie-Cabigting-Tearing-Into-Pieces-2005-350x225.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div><div class="uncode_text_column" ></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 10pt;">‘100 Pieces’ by Annie Cabigting at Finale Art File, 2005</span></p> <p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-70" data-row="script-row-unique-70" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-70"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-71"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:80%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p>To Annie, the audience is important in art, and she approached her first solo show with this in mind. She said “I multiplied her [the woman looking down at the torn Duldulao book] because she represents all of us.” Annie made a close-up of the image, and deconstructed the image into squares and placed the deconstructed images beside each other, to make the image whole again.“By deconstructing you are also highlighting the image,” she explained.</p> <p>Her whole show was one artwork but separate pieces. Annie points at one work which was painted two or three times. The artwork had images or canvases layered on top of the other. When asked why it was that way, she shares, “I’m multiplying it. It’s a Duldulao book that was ripped.” Annie mentioned that the next time Duldulao printed the new issue of Contemporary Philippine Art, he included the image of the book torn by Chabet. “Imagine that [the] actual publisher printed this image of the book being torn, and then years later, here I am painting it…it’s the same image but it has become different.”</p>

important while making art, but when viewers look at it as well. When people visit Annie’s exhibitions, they see how she transforms the venue. The space where they hang her paintings is part of the experience. Annie shares that in a way she’s building a space for the audience to be in–with the audience being part of the work.</p> <p>“That’s why I made a museum piece because it was also a social experiment of mine. It was not just a show about paintings. It was an installation. Once people enter those curtains, I like to wonder what their behavior would be. Imagine outside there was a party, there was a rock band, and then the minute they entered the space, they were more behaved, and their voices were lower.”</p> <p>In recent exhibitions, she hid artworks from its viewers. She wrapped them or placed them inside crates. “My intention was to give people a different way of looking–with your mind and your imagination.” She wrapped her work with the original intention to make a commentary on people buying works. “Another was I’m not just giving you one work. I’m giving you…a thousand images that might make you wonder. Now you’re not just experiencing work visually; you’re experiencing it in a different way. Now you tap on your emotions and imagination. I’m forcing you to imagine.”</p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-73" data-row="script-row-unique-73" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-73"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-74"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-8 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" style="max-width:90%;"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98653" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Purveyr-Annie-Cabigting-96.x29496.jpg" width="1600" height="1067" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Purveyr-Annie-Cabigting-96.jpg 1600w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Purveyr-Annie-Cabigting-96-300x200.jpg 300w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Purveyr-Annie-Cabigting-96-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Purveyr-Annie-Cabigting-96-768x512.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Purveyr-Annie-Cabigting-96-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Purveyr-Annie-Cabigting-96-350x233.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-4 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="uncode_text_column" ></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;">“You don’t see the work so you wonder what’s inside, right?

Annie told Isa Lorenzo “I have an idea. I’m going to make 10 paintings. I’m going to wrap them up. They are never to be seen. Collectors are buying works. They don’t even see the work and they’re buying it.” Isa agreed. When the collectors went to the show, they were surprised that the paintings were wrapped. They had never seen the work before. The wrapping was part of the artwork. If someone unwraps it, the artwork is destroyed.</p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-75" data-row="script-row-unique-75" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-75"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-76"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" style="max-width:90%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p>She shared that she did not give only one artwork, but she gave them a multitude of ideas or imaginations. She wanted them to experience, not just because they bought the work without seeing it, but she intended a deeper meaning. “You don’t see the work so you wonder what’s inside, right? It’s in your house and your relationship with the work is not just fleeting. It’s more than just saying, ‘Ah it’s pretty.’ It makes you think, “I wonder what’s inside?”<br /> In Annie’s recent show, In Storage, she continues her installation work from Silverlens. She placed paintings in crates, and viewers could only imagine what’s inside by just her scribble. After the pandemic, she converted the Finale Art File back into its original state. She placed the paintings in crates.</p> <p>“People are so spoiled with our [gadgets]. It’s there in our face. It’s there and it’s fast. Our consumption of images, of anything.” She felt art fatigued. She made 12 paintings and thought, “Maybe people don’t have to see the work. Maybe they can use their imagination.” By placing them in crates, she wanted to highlight the idea or fact that during the pandemic, a lot of artworks were disappearing from public spaces. They end up stored in freeports. It was another commentary from her.</p> <p>She shares the only time a regular person can see these pieces, even hers, is during their short time in the gallery. After that, they are gone. They go into houses. “In a way, if you think of it in a metaphor, houses are also like boxes. It goes into that box, and the public will never see it, unless you’re a friend of the owner.”</p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left

It was an unpopular opinion, he says, as most of his fans were driven towards the songs with more complicated guitar parts. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Recollections” was launched in Makati on a gloomy July afternoon. Despite the unforgiving rain, the venue was packed and the crowd was eagerly anticipating the show. That night was the first time he played the song </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Interim</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> live, and yet people knew the melody.

Known as Gabe to his family and closest friends, he learned to play the drums at 6 years old, and the guitar at around 11, the same year he first saw live music. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“May moment ako na dinala ako ng kuya ko sa gig. Mga 11-years-old ako, sa 19 East (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">I had a memory of my older brother bringing me along to a live gig at 19 East. I was 11 years old then</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">).”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That night, his older brother wrote a note on a tissue paper that says: “Can my little brother jam?” and gave it to the performers. The band obliged and went on to perform </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Play That Funky Music</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> by Wild Cherry with Gabba on the drums.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Habang nanonood ako, naisip ko, parang gusto ko to gawin. (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">While watching them, I thought to myself: ‘This is what I want to do.’</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">)” </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And that he did. Growing up, he played drums for various acts of different genres. From his early years with pop punk band Neverdie, indie singer Reese Lansangan, and math-folk group Fools and Foes. He also did session work as a guitarist for singer-songwriter Syd Hartha, country and folk-themed Plan of Fools–a super group fronted by Basti Artadi–and more recently with indie artist Clara Benin.</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" style="max-width:90%;"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98389" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gabba-story-sequence-0015.x29496.jpg" width="1069" height="1600" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gabba-story-sequence-0015.jpg 1069w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gabba-story-sequence-0015-200x300.jpg 200w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gabba-story-sequence-0015-684x1024.jpg 684w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gabba-story-sequence-0015-768x1149.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gabba-story-sequence-0015-1026x1536.jpg 1026w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gabba-story-sequence-0015-350x524.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1069px) 100vw, 1069px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-84" data-row="script-row-unique-84" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-84"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-85"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:80%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Recollections” co-producer Francis “The Ringmaster” Lorenzo recalls being shocked that Gabba was an equal skill level drummer as he was a guitarist. “We call those Promil kids,” he shares—an allusion to overly gifted kids popularized by the famous milk brand.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gifted as he is, Gabba is surrounded by excellent musicians for the majority of his tour and live performances. These musicians are rhythm guitarist Patrick Roxas (Sound Architects and Trippy Oh!), a classical guitarist and a senior guitar lecturer at the UP College of Music; drummer Chico Macorol (Trippy Oh! and Debonair District) who is also a percussion major graduate from UP; and bassist Dan Calingasan (Padayon Rondalla and UP College of Music) who also teaches kids rondalla.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Masaya yung experience for me as a drummer kasi napaka-lyrical ni Gabba mag compose ng drum parts (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s such a good experience for me as drummer because Gabba has such a lyrical approach in composing drum parts</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">).” shares Chico. “Yung drum parts niya either highlights the riff or elevates the feel.

Hence, it wasn’t new for him to hear people chanting his guitar parts. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">28-year-old Ian Awdrey Santos considers himself as one of Gabba’s biggest fans since 2015. “I consider him as my musical hero.

This realization ultimately changed how he perceived music. From then on, he made sure that he attended almost all of his gigs and eventually befriended his idols. “Sinasabi ko nga lagi na swerte natin kasi Pinoy siya (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">I always say that we’re so lucky he’s Filipino</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">),” Ian exclaims.</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-89" data-row="script-row-unique-89" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-89"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-90"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98392" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gabba-story-sequence-0009.x29496.jpg" width="1600" height="1069" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gabba-story-sequence-0009.jpg 1600w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gabba-story-sequence-0009-300x200.jpg 300w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gabba-story-sequence-0009-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gabba-story-sequence-0009-768x513.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gabba-story-sequence-0009-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Gabba-story-sequence-0009-350x234.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-90" data-row="script-row-unique-90" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-90"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-91"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:80%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">His music transcends style, gender, and age group. Gabba’s fans surely know their stuff when it comes to his music. Ian is just one of many who have discovered a renewed appreciation and view towards music.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Agatha, a fan from Baguio city reflects on her favorite track. “It has to be a two-way tie between </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Zoomies</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Overcurrent</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Zoomies has this one part towards the end of the song that legitimately makes my hands and arms tingle every time I hear it, it’s insane.” </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lastly, if you’ve been to one of the gigs, one would immediately a young man, bouncing up and down and jumping and singing to all the wordless songs in all its odd time signatures. That man is 18-year-old J. Andrew Quintua, one of Gabba’s youngest (and probably loudest) fans who, arguably, may be the most expressive during performances. Just like Gabba, J. Andrew learned to play the guitar at 11 years old. Coincidentally, J. Andrew discovered Gabba in 19 East—also during his first time watching a gig.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Nung 19 East, parang mapapaiyak ako nung unang rinig ko nung kantang Overcurrent kasi grabe yung impact nun sakin as a musician.

Most of his songs are inspired by key moments every time he visits family in different countries. His song </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fridge Magnets</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> literally refers to the magnets on display on refrigerators as souvenirs from different places, and talks about the emotions he feels during those visits.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On his 30th birthday, Gabba flew to Sydney, the place where most of his family resides and a place he holds close to his heart.

I dabbled in electro music when I DJ-ed in highschool and substituted university organizations with being a B-side and Black Market regular. I can’t say that I consciously made an effort to become a DJ but I somehow found myself exploring the discipline after seeking out a hobby outside of design.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Things just started to grow organically from there; I fell deep in the music rabbit hole through clubbing and nightlife. DJing turned into event promoting, which transformed into setting up an artist collective and house/techno imprint called <a href="https://www.instagram.com/transitrecords/">transit records</a>. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">I can say that my journey into music and the industry was pretty organic. From hobbyist, to listener, to events producer, label owner, and now community radio volunteer. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s worth mentioning that I still consider myself to be an amateur and hobbyist in this entire thing. I don’t make a huge living out of it, and that’s what has helped me keep a healthy relationship with it. </span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-100" data-row="script-row-unique-100" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-100"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-101"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:80%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Tell us about your time before entering the party and establishment scene. What’s your biggest inspiration for DJing and mixing?</b></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I was more involved with my design practice before investing more time in the nightlife scene. I had been working more within the medium of creative direction, marketing, and identity design role for my own entrepreneurial ventures and as a freelance gig. As I mentioned earlier, I had been getting a little fatigued by focusing too much on design.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">I guess the main tipping point or “inspiration” for me was visiting Berlin for the first time in 2018. I had already been rediscovering my love for dance music by attending club nights and smaller raves around Manila, but it wasn’t until I saw everything in context that everything clicked and I decided that DJing was something I wanted to participate in. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">I guess seeing the ecosystem of clubs, radio stations, label studios, record stores all in flux inspired me to also get involved with the scene back in my city.</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-101" data-row="script-row-unique-101" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-101"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-102"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" style="max-width:90%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>What goes into making a good mix? </b></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I think that the best mixes do what algorithmic playlists can not do. I find it most interesting when DJs are able to break from formulaic sequences by unearthing little known tracks, exploring niche sub-genres, weaving together seemingly unrelated styles of music, or by putting technical mixing skills at the forefront. A good mix tells a unique story through the lens of the DJ.</span></p> <p><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>Is playing, mixing, or handling a set similar to making and recording music? How, or what sets them apart? </b></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In my personal opinion, It’s an artform of its own. I often make the comparison between DJing and the act of curating. If making music is similar to creating artworks as artifacts, mixing is placing the artworks in context and creating a larger narrative—it’s arranging, sequencing, blending, connecting pre-existing works to form a message of its own.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mulan, a local legend in the underground, once told me that he treated records as tools to create the mix. The entirety of the performance is the unique articulation that the DJ provides to the audience.</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98315" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-4.x29496.jpg" width="1067" height="1600" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-4.jpg 1067w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-4-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-4-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-4-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-4-350x525.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-102" data-row="script-row-unique-102" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-102"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-103"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:75%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;">“In my case, the confluence of multiple fields is what contributes to my most unique and meaningful ideas.”</span></p> <p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-103" data-row="script-row-unique-103" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-103"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-104"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:80%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>On your socials, you’ve linked yourself to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/transitrecords/">transit records</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/manilacommunityradio/">Manila Community Radio</a>, and even <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tetsuo.vision/">Tetsuo</a>. Can you touch on your associations with them and what your time with them was like?</b></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In university, I was interested in hospitality, specifically food & beverage, as a medium for brand and identity development. Restaurants are a blank canvas that could be designed through multiple visual and non-visual touch points—logos, menus, letterheads, and business cards but also flavor palettes, music playlists, customer/user experience, service design, and atmospherics. I liked how restaurants could also act as a third space that encourages social interactions and culture to thrive. I guess, as a designer, I liked how I could influence the look, feel, and interactions within a space. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whether it was our food stall in Mercato Centrale or our pop-ups in <a href="https://www.instagram.com/2020manila/">XX:XX</a>—we always made sure to creative direct our marketing assets by making them look like rave posters or our non-visual touchpoints through the music playing in our speakers. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">We’ve slowly grown our small food stall (in 2016) into a full fledged two location restaurant in the last 5 to 6 years. We still serve food at a democratic and accessible price point, but we go above and beyond by designing experiences that build our relationship with our community of customers.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Radio is its own interesting story. I had been a fan of pirate radio since my university days and was really infatuated by its non-commercial context. As opposed to the club or commercial radio, which has direct or indirect ties with systems of capital, I loved how internet radio seemed to be all about sharing, discovering, and fostering interactions through music.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jorge, of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/buwanbuwancollective/">Buwanbuwan Collective</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kindredproductionsph/">Kindred</a>, shared the same enthusiasm for it and we actually had many conversations about building community radio pre-pandemic. When the pandemic hit, we were at a loss for venues to share and foster interactions around music. This gave us, as well as a wide list of collaborators, that extra push to work together on a decentralized platform that provided an avenue for artists to self-publish their work and discover new music.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I do believe that they all affect each other in more ways than one. I like viewing things holistically, and I’m allergic to the mono-culture that is propagated by being dogmatic with single discipline/s. In my case, the confluence of multiple fields is what contributes to my most unique and meaningful ideas. </span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-104" data-row="script-row-unique-104" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-104"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-105"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:90%;"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98317" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-6-1.x29496.jpg" width="1600" height="1067" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-6-1.jpg 1600w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-6-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-6-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-6-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-6-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-6-1-350x233.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-105" data-row="script-row-unique-105" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-105"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-106"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-8 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" style="max-width:90%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Let’s talk about transit records. What has your time there taught you about the music label business?</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/transitrecords/">transit records</a> started as an artist collective to house the activity of like minded DJs and producers—within our small community. Since the inception of the label, we’ve managed to host artist workshops + club nights, release music outside of the major label framework, and broadcast radio shows to stations around the world. Running a small label has allowed us to stick to our values and focus on the music we want to share and the experiences that we want to create. We’re taking things a step at a time, slowly growing our discography of music and diversifying our growing list of collaborators</span></p> <p>I’ve honestly learned so much about my personal relationship with music through working on an independent label. I think there’s often a pressure with owning and running an imprint and trying to work towards operating at the scale of a major. The two couldn’t be more different and I think that you should constantly remind yourself of that as a label owner. While one operates under the systems of capital, the other is hinged on a more subjective set of values.</p> <p>My relationship with music has benefitted so much by not conflating my why and how.</p> <p>We created transit as a means to subvert existing frameworks within music—putting freedom and expression first and working on the business side along the way. Once you start obsessing over profitability and exploiting monetary value out of the label, you start undercutting the integrity or artistic value of what you’re trying to do in the first place.</p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-4 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="uncode_text_column" ></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;">“Running a small label has allowed us to stick to our values and focus on the music we want to share and the experiences that we want to create.”</span></p> <p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-106" data-row="script-row-unique-106" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-106"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-107"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" style="max-width:90%;"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98318" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-9.x29496.jpg" width="1067" height="1600" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-9.jpg 1067w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-9-200x300.jpg 200w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-9-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-9-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-9-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-9-350x525.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" style="max-width:90%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>How has your experience as an underground DJ influenced your outlook on life and society? How did this influence your creative work?</b></span></p> <p>Pushing for underground spaces and artists at the fringes has taught me about the importance of equity, mutual respect, and the spirit of openness. I’ve had to unlearn conventional frameworks of thinking and reassess my value systems when it comes to thinking about my creative work. It’s easy to use objective or profit-oriented goals as a barometer of success but it’s reductive and selfish to be solely fixated on those. Thinking about the cultural, emotional, and societal implications of the dance has allowed me to be more community-oriented and holistic with my outlook on life and labor.</p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-107" data-row="script-row-unique-107" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-107"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-108"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:75%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;">“The party is just as good as the community behind it—an open-eared and -hearted dance floor is so underrated.”</span></p> <p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-108" data-row="script-row-unique-108" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-108"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-109"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:80%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>What do you think is the key ingredient with keeping the scene—of clubbing, that is—interesting? Is it locale, visuals, day-by-day events, or gimmicks; something else?</strong></span></p> <p>I think that everything goes hand in hand and you can’t separate one thing from the other but I often think that we often have an artist-centric perspective with regard to how to keep scenes alive and interesting. What I’ve found is that the dance floor is just as important as any other facet of clubbing. Your party could have the best DJ but a closed off crowd. It’s important to cultivate a room of listeners who are just as open and responsive as the DJ.</p> <p>To give a quick anecdote of this, I recently played a set for <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sado.maso.disco/">SadoMasoDisco</a>. I really didn’t know where I was headed but wanted to stay true to myself and what I’ve been listening to by sharing music within the realms of bass, percs, post-dubstep, and electro. I was surprised because no matter what I put on; it seemed like the dance floor was just as excited to hear the music that was blaring over the speakers. After I did my individual set, I went back to back with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/baby___ikea/">Baby Ikea</a>, a transit records label mate of mine. We moved into rave, breaks and techno and it was popping off before midnight. I was congratulated by a few friends after the set, but I told them that the dance floor made all that possible. The party is just as good as the community behind it—an open-eared and -hearted dance floor is so underrated.</p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-109" data-row="script-row-unique-109" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-109"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-110"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" style="max-width:90%;"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98319" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-8.x29496.jpg" width="1067" height="1600" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-8.jpg 1067w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-8-200x300.jpg 200w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-8-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-8-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-8-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-8-350x525.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" style="max-width:90%;"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98320" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-7.x29496.jpg" width="1067" height="1600" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-7.jpg 1067w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-7-200x300.jpg 200w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-7-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-7-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-7-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-7-350x525.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-110" data-row="script-row-unique-110" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-110"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-111"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:80%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>With that, what are some of the key elements that make for a successful nightlife scene, and how do you work with other stakeholders like venue owners, promoters, and designers to create these experiences?</strong></span></p> <p>One of the key elements that’s often left out of the conversation is the importance of the dance floor. You can have the best DJ or venue, but if no one is engaging with the music, your party is shit. Community is everything. If you’re able to bring together a diverse, genuine, open-minded and -hearted group of people; that cascades to DJs and promoters being able to push boundaries and create more meaningful experiences.</p> <p><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>How do you balance catering to the expectations of your audience while still maintaining your creative vision and pushing boundaries?</strong></span></p> <p>I think a lot of it boils down to your individual relationship with music and knowing in which scenarios you can create value through sharing your work. I’ve come to realize that everyone enters the DJ thing for different reasons and finding the right audience for your work is often the crux that one has to face. My relationship with music is centered around discovery, experimentation, and sharing. That being the case, I make an effort to put myself in scenarios where I can do those very things—through being selective with my bookings and seeking our communities that share a similar set of values.</p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-111" data-row="script-row-unique-111" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-111"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-112"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" style="max-width:90%;"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98321" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-2.x29496.jpg" width="1067" height="1600" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-2.jpg 1067w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/PURVEYR-Sean-Bautista-2-350x525.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1067px) 100vw, 1067px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" style="max-width:89%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Regarding night life, mixing, and live entertainment, what’s something you wish people realized more?</strong></span></p> <p>From my vantage point, design and music communities are comfortable working within their own niches. Often, I see groups that reinforce a monoculture by being protective of the spaces that they’re in. I understand that this is natural given the value systems that we’ve grown up to learn, but the short sight of this culture is that it leads to nepotism, gatekeeping, and the politics of a ruling/dominant group. I hope that we see more cross pollination within the communities that we occupy.</p> <p>What my colleagues and I have recently been obsessed with is trying to reimagine what our industries might look like if we take more influence from our vernacular sensibilities or visual language. I think one of the challenges that we face within design or music are western or eurocentric aesthetic standards of how our creative output is expressed.</p> <p>This could be in the form of designs being discounted as amateur for not fitting modernist trends that are dictated by a globalized and capital-driven economy. Or how certain music is expected to be played in certain clubs or establishments to project a more upscale vibe. While, from a business perspective this is valid because those are the kinds of experiences or services that are sought after by the spending market, I also think that it’s a hindrance to more authentic and unique forms of creative expression.</p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-112" data-row="script-row-unique-112" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-112"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row style-color-jevc-bg row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-113"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="uncode_text_column" ></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 12pt; color: #ffffff;">CREDITS</span></strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span class="font-805096" style="color: #ffffff; font-size: 10pt;">WRITER <a href="https://purveyr.com/author/jean-pierre/">Jean-Pierre Ditona</a><br /> EDITOR <a href="https://purveyr.com/author/tricia/">Tricia Quintero</a><br /> PHOTOGRAPHER <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sai.versailles/">Sai Versailles</a></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><strong><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 12pt; color: #ffffff;">SUPPORT PURVEYR</span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">If you like this story and would love to read more like it, we hope you can support us for as low as ₱100.

In the case of Norway-based photographer and producer Michael Ray “Mike” Vera Cruz Angeles, the concept of </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">community-driven</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is at the core of each project he touches, be that his work at creative studio </span><a href="https://www.alsoknownas.no/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also Known As</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, with multi-time Norwegian Grammy Award (</span><a href="https://norwegianarts.org.uk/spellemannprisen-a-beginners-guide-to-norways-grammys/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spellemannprisen</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">) winning group </span><a href="https://karpe.no/omar-sheriff/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Karpe</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, or at </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mikescorner/?hl=en"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mike’s Corner</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, his own bodega and deli.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I guess that’s how you get longevity,” says Mike, “because if you get a community thing going on, people feel like they’re a part of it. And when they keep it close to their heart, they want to make it private. They want to see it shine and […] that’s a good way to make sure that it truly becomes something for everyone.” </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Consumers want involvement. They want representation. They want to find spaces within brands they support to connect with like-minded people. Since he picked up a Nikon camera in 2008, Mike has jettisoned himself out of a career in physical therapy and into capturing and representing urban pop culture in Norway–documenting moments with artists, streetwear, food, and hip-hop music. It’s from this feel, this direct interaction with many of Norway’s artists, that Mike and the creatives at Also Known As have a sense of how energy flows in the huge, obfuscated consumer-segment known as youth.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The clients,” says Mike, “they see that we’re more than just a studio. We’re also a presence in the realm that they want to do some damage [in], and so I guess that’s why they […] go to us because they know that we understand the mechanics of how to get that type of people to go with their product.”</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-115" data-row="script-row-unique-115" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-115"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-116"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-8 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" style="max-width:90%;"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98291" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mike-Angeles-Purveyr-WEB-4X5_-1.x29496.jpg" width="1200" height="1500" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mike-Angeles-Purveyr-WEB-4X5_-1.jpg 1200w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mike-Angeles-Purveyr-WEB-4X5_-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mike-Angeles-Purveyr-WEB-4X5_-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mike-Angeles-Purveyr-WEB-4X5_-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mike-Angeles-Purveyr-WEB-4X5_-1-350x438.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-4 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="empty-space empty-single" ><span class="empty-space-inner"></span></div> <div class="uncode_text_column" ></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 24pt;">“When I came to Vegas, it was weird if you weren’t into sneakers.

And […] culture wise it’s way different [in Norway].”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s common in Norway to go on student exchange as early as highschool. With some family around the United States, Mike jumped at the opportunity and after negotiating his way out of a Portland exchange, ended up living in Las Vegas for a year. Though Mike looks back and describes the Neon Capital of the World as the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Weirdest</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Place in the World, he looks back on the year as “[opening] up [his] whole creative streak.”</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-117" data-row="script-row-unique-117" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-117"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-118"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont" style="max-width:90%;"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I [followed] American culture ever since I was a kid,” he says, “from the cartoons, to Fresh Prince, to NBA basketball.” With the help of the internet, sneaker trade, Niketalk.com, and online forums, were accessible temples of obsession for Mike. But these weren’t temples receiving veneration from large communities of youth in Norway. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Vegas was an alternate universe–where football was replaced by basketball and where the full force of camping outside sneaker stores for limited edition scores reigned supreme. “When I came to Vegas,” recalls Mike, “it was weird if you weren’t into sneakers. So the culture that I loved, I had in front of me now.” It wasn’t stuck behind a monitor.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Coming back to Norway after a year’s worth of immersion, Mike held this notion of </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">the culture</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> close to his heart.

Again, we circle back to streetwear, food, and hip-hop music–pieces of the puzzle that make up the mosaic of youth culture. “I was still young,” says Mike, “so I couldn’t go into all the clubs but, I remember photography of the club scene was coming up and then fashion was also coming up. Everybody was into streetwear.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mike would post pictures from parties on the blog, pictures of his friends and creatives. ”For some reason,” he says, “a

It’s in a business district–”a rather posh place” if you look at it. “People think that you’ve got to have money to rock over there[…],ever since we were kids, we never felt like we could really be a part of that place. Not really welcome. So when they gave us the opportunity to open up the restaurant, at the new spot, I felt like it was kind of our job to make sure that the people that look like us and the kids that come after us would feel welcome,” says Mike.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The owner of the spot from whom Mike is leasing mentioned that he’s never seen so many folks in hoodies around the area to which Mike replied, “That’s a good thing, man.

That doesn’t stop him from describing his schedule as “chaos.” </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The motivation runs deep, beyond the will to work hard instilled in him by his parents, but too from the responsibility Mike feels for the next generation of creative talent in the scene.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I really want to do more community-driven projects,” he says. “I see where it brought me and I feel like now more than ever, social media makes it even harder for people to dream because you see so many good people in front of you or on your phone all the time. And if you don’t feel like you can do that at a certain age or a certain level […] I feel like these kids just move to the next [thing]. I feel like [if we can’t] help cater for young talent or a young community, we might miss out on some great, great individuals or great people.”</span></p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-134" data-row="script-row-unique-134" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-134"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-135"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-12 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn" ><div class="uncont no-block-padding col-custom-width" style="max-width:85%;"><div class="uncode-single-media text-left"><div class="single-wrapper" style="max-width: 100%;"><div class="tmb tmb-light tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg"><div class="t-inside"><div class="t-entry-visual"><div class="t-entry-visual-tc"><div class="uncode-single-media-wrapper"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-98302" src="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mike-Angeles-Purveyr-WEB-4X5_-12.x29496.jpg" width="1600" height="1143" alt="" srcset="https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mike-Angeles-Purveyr-WEB-4X5_-12.jpg 1600w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mike-Angeles-Purveyr-WEB-4X5_-12-300x214.jpg 300w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mike-Angeles-Purveyr-WEB-4X5_-12-1024x732.jpg 1024w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mike-Angeles-Purveyr-WEB-4X5_-12-768x549.jpg 768w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mike-Angeles-Purveyr-WEB-4X5_-12-1536x1097.jpg 1536w, https://purveyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Mike-Angeles-Purveyr-WEB-4X5_-12-350x250.jpg 350w" sizes="(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /></div> </div> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><script id="script-row-unique-135" data-row="script-row-unique-135" type="text/javascript" class="vc_controls">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-135"));</script></div></div></div><div data-parent="true" class="vc_row style-color-jevc-bg row-container boomapps_vcrow" id="row-unique-136"><div class="row limit-width row-parent"><div class="wpb_row row-inner"><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="uncode_text_column" ></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 12pt; color: #ffffff;">CREDITS</span></strong></p> <p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span class="font-805096" style="color: #ffffff; font-size: 10pt;">WRITER <a href="https://purveyr.com/author/jaymes/">Jaymes Shrimski</a><br /> EDITOR <a href="https://purveyr.com/author/tricia/">Tricia Quintero</a><br /> PHOTOGRAPHER <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sturenordhagen">Sture Nordhagen Gjermundsen</a><br /> SPECIAL THANKS <a href="https://www.instagram.com/balosquared">George Balobalo</a></span></p> <p> </div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-6 boomapps_vccolumn single-internal-gutter"><div class="uncol style-light" ><div class="uncoltable"><div class="uncell boomapps_vccolumn no-block-padding" ><div class="uncont"><div class="uncode_text_column" ><p><strong><span class="font-805096" style="font-size: 12pt; color: #ffffff;">SUPPORT PURVEYR</span></strong></p> <p><span style="color: #ffffff;">If you like this story and would love to read more like it, we hope you can support us for as low as ₱100.
