Often performs under the name UGONG, a sound art outfit utilizing home-made circuit-bent sound devices created from toy keyboards, walkie-talkie and other low voltage electronic devices, he has collaborated with numbers of sound artists, media-art practitioner, musicians and performance artists in the Philippines.

Fete Dela WSK!

Since its inception in 2008 as Fete dela Wasaque, the festival had a particular focus around performances within the field of sonic arts and innovative music. For this year’s edition, we have decided to rename the festival WSK!—as three cryptic letters, which can only provide as much as the sum of the parts. We decided to widen the focus on “parallel voices” that throughout history have worked alongside the sonic arts. Theater, dance, poetry, cinema, television, radio, and even religious and spiritual purposes have integrated the use of sound in almost every process. However, the sound world is a bit hermetic. It happens, then it’s done. It doesn’t have the same library of information that you have in the other arts. So we hope, among other things, WSK! would be a chance to explode people’s misconceptions about what contemporary music is.

The path of music evolution is never straight, god forbid. Curveballs, odd combinations, and juxtapositions feed the rich variability of production, fuel the creativity of producers, and aggravate and agitate listeners toward new territory. Artists cross-pollinate and fertilize, expanding their reach and deepening their productions with the increased richness that comes with drawing new and unexpected connections. Get carried away by a program that straddles between live video manipulation (live cinema) against a backdrop of powerful club and textured home listening; connects experimental and pop, electro and rock, classic and futuristic; exploits contrast; digs up unexpected links; and builds spontaneous bridges into the unforeseen.

In short, this year’s festival consists of live performances, an exhibition, and a digital album + book anthology of mission statements, buckshot manifestos, postmortems, essay fragments and short interviews documenting the vicissitudes of sonic life off the radar in Manila, Asia and beyond.

Active | De-Active (Cavite Leg)

Active | De-Active 2010 kicks off this Saturday (October 9) in Espasyo Siningdikato creatiVEnue to showcase two exciting frontiers of music which are experimental and improvised music. The festival called Active | De-Active: An Inventive Music Festival 2010, is an international music festival, which will tour three Philippine cities – Cavite, Manila and Davao – from October 9 – 16.

The festival will consist of a series of live performances, workshops, presentation of methods and practices, creative collaborations and artist-talks by international and local participating artists, in an effort to present and exchange artistic ideas and musical experiences that will contribute to the appreciation and understanding of these developments in music.

This will provide a platform for informed discussions of the cultural, developmental and educational aspects of improvisation and experimentation in music, and at the same time, present its artistic and technical practices.

The festival is also an attempt to gather a community of experimental musicians, improvisers, new media art practitioners, musicologists, and teachers who can share and exchange knowledge that would benefit the understanding of improvised and experimental music.

The Cavite Leg will happen in Espasyo Siningdikato creatiVEnue, an independent art space located at Block 11 Lot 9 Congressional Road, Bgy. Sta.Fe Dasmariñas, Cavite (near DLSU-Dasmariñas, in front of Dan Phil Hardware), on October 9 (Saturday).
