PiLE—a local music search engine and sharing platform

iACADEMY in partnership with PinoyTuner, Radio Republic, Amplify, Vandals on the Wall and Ndfy today unveiled project PiLE—a local music search engine and sharing platform intended to promote the local music industry. Quite simply, PiLE hopes to give users access to an impressive database of Filipino music and artists, culled from other locally managed sites, as a way to keep up with a rapidly evolving industry. 

The changing landscape of the local music scene

As most things go in a world that is continuously changing, music also had to evolve. These radical shifts came with every generation. Where vinyl and 8-tracks once filled teenage bedrooms in 70s, cassette tapes came and took over in the 80s. Then came CDs and Discmans when the 90s rolled in. At the turn of the millennium, mp3 players and iPods were introduced. And most recently, if you are among the early adopters who were willing to abandon the way you have bought and listened to music for the last decade, you deleted your iTunes library and put your trust in the cloud. 

There is an undeniable level of convenience that technology brings to the way the world consumes music. But it comes at a price. The most glaring of which is how unprecedented access took away the tangible part of the music experience. 

It is not necessarily always a bad thing. Technology has managed to open so many doors for musicians to share their art and audiences to discover great music—even if it is at the expense of being able to rifle through liner notes or make mixed tapes. But it also leaves room for a lot of clutter to come through. The Internet is known for it, and the music industry was not spared. What this meant was that musicians now have to work harder to get themselves noticed; and for audiences, sifting through the clutter was now an inevitable part of the user experience. 

That being said, the local music industry has made remarkable inroads in its quest to embrace the digital transition and streamline content to offer thoughtfully curated Filipino music. Sites like Pinoytuner, Radio Republic, Amplify, Vandals on the Wall and Ndfy have become known as vanguards of the local music scene, empowering local talent and giving them a platform online where they can be heard. 

But there is a lot more that can be done—opportunities where technology and music can combine with social entrepreneurism to introduce Filipino music to a wider audience and highlight local creativity to the world. 

All in one PiLE

An idea borne out of the need to combine the school’s three main educational niches—computing, business and design—iACADEMY now seeks to fuse the school’s resources and address a demand, anchored on the universal language of music. 

PiLE is a local search engine and sharing platform that intends to promote the local music industry. The goal is twofold—to introduce more Filipinos to the unfamiliar and but no less talented musical acts from this country; and, to those who already recognize the promise of Filipino musicians, to give both audiences and artists a chance to thrive in this evolving digital landscape. 

Embracing ingenuity in a digital world

Despite its simplicity as a vehicle to empower the local music scene, PiLE is actually a first for the country. 

“Our role is to make sure that Filipino music gets presented to more people who can appreciate the talent and hard work that goes behind creating it. Involving our students in something like this also means they get hands on, practical experience for an initiative that is relevant and important to them,” says Vanessa Tanco, President and CEO of iACADEMY. 



 

 





 





With the support of the country’s top music industry players, artists, music enthusiasts and the altruistic vision of today’s youth with the technical skill to make it happen, the possibilities of how PiLE can change an evolving music scene is endless. The opportunity to constantly develop features to eventually create an ecosystem is present and it will never lose sight of the fact that it exists to celebrate Filipino talent. 

 

When asked, how do you see the future of iACADEMY in terms of adapting to technological advancement? Ms. Tanco enumerated, "the way iACADEMY sees it, technology can do several things--

1. It encourages students to learn something that is relevant to their lives.
2. It allows students opportunities to address a global need.
3. It can enable global collaboration.
More than anything, the concept of having to adapt to technological advancement keeps both the school and our students flexible and always ready for change. Our school already prides itself for its ability to focus on what students need, which allows us to focus on their creativity, emotional intelligence and their individual talents. And our expertise in technology helps us combine their strengths and apply it to theoretical education for practical output.” Tanco ends.

PERFORMANCE ARTIST EXPLORES FEMALE POWER AND BEAUTY THROUGH POETRY AND VISUAL EXPRESSION

Performance poetry artist, advocate and educator Kooky Tuason presents a fresh look at female empowerment in her new coffee table book Picket Lines: Dialogues Between Eves, Among Eves and For Eves, which features 100 photos of women with poems written on their bodies. The book juxtaposes poetry on select women’s skin and images to make powerful statements about the lives of women.

 

Picket Lines is a product of the author’s collaboration with photographers Niccolo Cosme, Tabitha Fernan, Mitch Mauricio, Katrina Pallon, and Nikkorlai Tapan. It features various women, many of whom are leaders in their fields and prominent in the public arena such as Sr. Mary John Mananzan, Fides Cuyugan-Asensio, Miriam Quiambao, Shawn Yao, Andrea del Rosario, Nina Ricci Alagao, Cecile Guidote-Alavarez, Love Anover, Jodi Sta. Maria, Lilia Cuntapay, Cynthia Alexander, Kate Torralba, Michelline Syjuco, Risa Hontiveros, Sonia Roco, Twinkle Ferraren, Abby Asistio, Gaby dela Merced, Giselle Sanchez, Sanya Smith, Mocha, Karen Kunawicz, Gloria Diaz, Aimee Marcos, Anita Linda. The images reflected in the book were intensified by the contributions of highly talented make-up artists and stylists.

 

Tuason has studied performance art and trained under the British Council, then went on to share her craft and promote the art through conducting performance poetry workshops, performing in gigs, art exhibits, radio shows, schools, embassies and other venues.



She has published several studio albums, Romancing Venus Vol. 1 (2005), Romancing Venus Vol. 2 (2006), and Bigkas Pilipinas (2007). She also co-produced an album titled “In Transit: Manila Meets Toronto” which was funded by the Arts Council of Canada. The Romancing Venus records were the catalyst in forming a sisterhood of female artists, writers, and musicians passionate about using creative expression as a tool for healing.

 

In 2007, Tuason launched her radio show “Bigkas Pilipinas” which ran for more than two years every Saturday evening on Jam 88.3. The show was nominated at the KBP Golden Dove Awards and Catholic Mass Media Awards for Best Culture and Arts Program. Playing spoken poetry non-stop during its time slot, Bigkas Pilipinas was instrumental in positioning spoken poetry at the mainstream level, and brought the art to nationwide attention for both enthusiasts and curious listeners.

 

“Picket Lines: Dialogues Between Eves, Among Eves and For Eves” book counts the Women’s Crisis Center as its beneficiary. For purchasing details, email mina@yonzon.com. You can also follow Picket Lines on Facebook and Twitter.
