A quick glance at Danny Sillada‘s Wikipedia page and you see just how talented and creative he really is. Seeing him taking pictures with fellow artists and joking around during his performance, however, is truly a sight to see. Mr. Sillada is embodies the spirit of not only a true musician, but also an exceptional human being.
For those who saw the Watchtower Sessions a few weeks ago, Young Won should be a familiar name. If not, then tune in to his set this coming June 2 for at Sarten Cafe in Sumulong, Antipolo for Spoken Herb. For now, a preview.
(Let us know what you guys think of the lineup so far. Anyone we’re missing out on? Message us here or here. )
Young beat maker Similar Objects visited Co.Lab recently to take part in a small gathering for artists participating in the upcoming Spoken Herb event, showing those in attendance what he’s capable of on the 404s. A sneak peek into his talents and what you can expect from him on June 2.
Liquid, Young Won, Flexx and Six combine forces to form unique musical layers of beats in our latest feature. Not your typical quartet, this is why we love impromptu shoots so much. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did.

More stills from unusual places. The photos were taken from more wall art in Makati, the shores of Mindoro, parking lots and even your favorite fast food joint. These images serve as a reminder to where I’ve been in the past few months. They may not tell the complete story, but they’re clues, nonetheless.

Abstract Hip-Hop and jazz experimentations. Dub diversions and world rhythms. The Spoken Herb’s third installment is coming, and it’s sure to be another fantastic day of improvisation in the underground music scene. Details to come in the following weeks!

It was a great turnout for this year’s Malasimbo Music and Arts Festival in Puerto Galera, Mindoro. Despite complaints I’ve heard from speaking with people from different groups and barkadas, this much I can say: this year’s headliner (Joe Bataan) lived up to expectations, and our local artists more than held their own. Props to everyone who performed and made this year’s version a memorable one.
It’s been a busy month for us here at New Perspectives as projects have been popping up here and there. We’ll make sure to keep you guys updated with all the things that have happened as soon as we’re ready. For now, I just wanted to share with you all a little ongoing photo project that I’ve been working on.
Lately, I’ve been fascinated with visual patterns. These patterns are found anywhere, but the fast pace of the city life leave them largely unnoticed. Upon closer inspection, however, framing fragments of pavements, paintings and doodles can lead to some very interesting results. Just like in music, artworks can be sampled and broken down into smaller pieces, re-imagined through the lens. These are just a few of what I’ve taken in the past few months.
More to come in the following months!
