Updating this site finally after 4years!
Pandemic happened. With it...
Parola happened;
Mutation Series happened;
Composite By The Numbers happened;
Music for 1000 Bicycles happened;
Padyak ver Vortragabend happened;
Torpor happened;
Sonic Shaman happened;
PhDIA happened;
Atang, a sound prayer happened;
Listening Biennial happened;
Ultima happened;
For The Record happened;
Atmosphere: Maceda's Ugnayan @50;
Halo-Halo happened;
Finally, CRiSAP, the mothership called.
I also published the following:
"Jose Maceda Exhibit Series: A Curator's Reflection"
"On Understanding Sound Practice in the Philippines"
"Muse(ing) the Archive, Archival/ Exhibiting Turn"
"Repurposing unpurposeness of tambay"
And these are just those relevant to SMR.
Also, I had one major medical crisis every year since the last update (August 2020).
It was one of those, I have been busy, despite...
Anyway, hyperlinking activities to documentations available in other sites, so I do not need to repeat myself.
PhDIA (PhD Incentive Award) will have its own update in the Spotlight tab and Collection tab because of its pivotal role to my research and practice in sound art and archiving.
Besides documentation materials on the hyperlink, on Spotlight tabl, additional essay for Listening Biennial-- expounding on the experience from Sound Camp, Symposium Exhibition and Neverending Gig, which in large part served a unique platform to gather, analyse and implement learnings from SMR.
Finally, For The Record, as a concluding project for SMR, a reflection essay and a database will be made available on Spotlight tab and Collection tab later.
Meantime, while I work on completing this site...and because of the "despite" I'm on project break now, since mid-June, which means I do not have any project at the moment, until maybe February next year. I am not in any social media anymore (I am missing on a lot of events, but I don't miss being there). I minimise social engagements (bare to none, which proved to be so helpful for my mental health). I keep minimum school load (as much as possible). And I only travel if accompanied or will have friends/ family in my destination. Concessions I agreed to, with the hope that I will have a better fighting chance to reach the age of 50 (or more...sana. Gusto ko ng Senior Citizen Card!)
Eto muna ulit. More later...hopefully 🫰
