lyrics

Baclaran is where I grew up. It's in the border of the two cities of Paranaque and Pasay. And is also home to a large number of flea market. The noise emanating from this place is loud, abrasive, constant and beautiful at the same time.
In this piece I tried to incorporate that feeling of abrasive sounds that turns to soothing when you sit down long enough.
