Ash Mach: Sounding the Philippines

Ash Mach

Ash Mach won a grant for “Sounding the Philippines”: a digital exhibit on American-colonial/post-colonial Filipino composers and their music (~1897-1997), featuring historical information, newly engraved sheet music, and recordings. Hosted on Scalar, the exhibit uses digital humanities tools like interactive maps and timelines to contextualize each composer in history. While the composers’ lives and artistic output are the centerpiece of the exhibit, it also discusses the impacts of colonialism on Filipino arts/culture. The exhibit uses primary (composers’ writings, manuscripts) and secondary (pre-existing articles and recordings) sources, balancing accessible language, audio recordings, images, and interactive diagrams to reach a wide audience.
