about

On ‘Catching Orbits’, Justo creates a soundboard for the creatures of night — shattering the static while the rest of the sheltered, unfazed world is in slumber. It is for the souls who roam the streets seeking for warmth; the ones who crave for company in crowded bars because they are spooked by their own shadows; the wide-eyed youth who still believe star-gazing is romantic; the lonesome worker who pulls a double shift rather than sleep in a ghost of a home; the ones whose faces are bathed not in the glow of the moon, but of their smartphone screens; the mother whose heart leaps whenever she sees the twinkling lights the moving star that will one day take her home to her children; the insomniac with eyes that swim between wakefulness and dreams; and the fathers in their blood-soaked shanties, whose last memory of sound is the bass of their hearts before they sail through the sea of silence. All their lives lived in a sequence of day and night, just doing their best to fill the empty in between. This is the sound of their routine.

(EP) “Catching Orbits”
BBCNM003

“Quoting Terrace Martin, "I’ll say it again, we do music for them, for the struggling. That’s all we do it for is them, the people that understand struggle.” The tape channels my thoughts on Martin's quote. Thanks to music in general, my life and other people's lives are worth living for. The release is a way for me to pay the deed forward; I've been grateful for the local musicians and beatmakers for their music. Therefore, I want to do the same and help other people's lives be better everyday.

Dedicated to the people who knew about this project; you know who you are. Thanks for orbiting my life. Shoutout to Jorge and the BuwanBuwan crew for the series; I am forever grateful for you.”

about

buwanbuwancollective Philippines

Buwan-Buwan is a traditional Filipino game that enacts the lunar eclipse. Players draw a circle on the ground representing the moon, and must stay inside this circle. Meanwhile, one player acts as the Bakunawa, the mythical giant sea serpent who would eat the moon: he may not enter the circle, but must touch another player who is inside it in order to switch places.
