Filipino Spaghetti Western is a collection of western psychedelic music written, produced and recorded between summer 2022 and late spring of 2023. The concept is about the cultural influence of spaghetti westerns and classic Americana on the Philippines during the early 1950’s to 1970’s. The album reflects on the Filipino—American experience, wrangling between machismo and tsismis, and growing up in two distinct worlds. This is a work in progress.

Lunar Dance is a collection of neo-classical ambient music written, and produced in late winter of 2023. This was an experiment of sounds and textures with an emphasis on cinematic moods and atmosphere. It’s focus is less about structure, melody, and form, but rather the delicate “dance” between digital plugins and analog sounds from a forgotten era.
