Listen to the latest episode:

2.4. Grace Ann Buenaventura and James Gazmin | UPCE Instrumentarium – Sonic Entanglements Podcast

In this episode, Gardikah Gigih speaks with Grace Ann Buenaventura and James Gazmin—two stewards of this vast collection of over 3,700 traditional and contemporary instruments from across the Philippines and beyond. More than just historical artifacts, these instruments are in constant use—played, studied, and cared for by students, musicians, and community members alike. What emerges is a portrait of an archive that breathes, resonates, and connects past and future through sound.   Sonic Entanglements Season 2 is hosted and produced by Gardika Gigih during his research fellowship at the University of the Philippines Center for Ethnomusicology (UPCE), funded by the EU-JPICH Project Decolonizing Southeast Asian Sound Archives (DeCoSEAS).   Sonic Entanglements podcast is created by meLê yamomo. Our theme music is created by Markus Hoogervorst. For more information, visit www.sonic-entanglements.com.
