My Immediate Universe: An Experimental Electronic Music Album

Members: Alcudia, Juan Diego V.|Cayanan, Aadric Jan F.|Flores, Jericho.| Gerona, Joseph Luis T.|Padillo, Rex.,

Adviser: Marie Jocelyn U. Marfil, PhD

"My Immediate Universe” is an experimental electronic music album that dwells on the platform of creating music during unprecedented times, with its conception being predicated upon the immediacy of one’s reality and purview, especially in the limited scope of each individual’s surroundings. With the musicians’ physical limitations, efforts on propagating our universe to the public have been restricted to online platforms, thus the musicians propose to utilize the potential of the online medium and technological advancements. The album embodies an aural representation of the process of music-making with an effort to express one’s isolated experience with a larger community.

Adviser: MARTINEZ, EDNA MARCIL

Recently, it has been observed that despite the pandemic, music education has
become more accessible. This was due to the advent of different media platforms that flooded the market. While information within these platforms can easily be altered, it risks to cause misinformation, especially among elementary and high school students. Due to the circumstances faced by the researchers, the group proposed the creation of a music workbook that will serve as a guide for grades 5 and 6 students to further understand and clarify 2 of the basic elements of music namely; pitch and rhythm.
