Listening closely to kulintang
An introduction to sound, ensemble, and the musicians who keep a practice moving.
This proposed interview will introduce readers to kulintang through a musician’s own explanation of their instruments and practice. An accessible listening guide will accompany the finished piece if recording rights can be secured.
The article will identify the specific musical tradition and context being discussed. It will not present a single performance as representative of every community across the southern Philippines.
