Pushing the frontiers of Kulintang music since before Filipino-American History Month was codified nationally, Kulintronica releases the first version of “Bang A Gong (Get It On)” that centers gong instruments in the track. Blending kulintang, an ancient instrument from the Philippines with pulsing beats, synthesizers, and guitars is Kulintronica. His life forever changed upon first hearing Kulintang music in the hands of Danongan Kalanduyan. As a full-time musician with one foot in the world of traditional Filipino music, and one foot stomping on stages in front of night club dance floors, the sounds of the gongs would reverberate in his head after long nights, with the kulintang echoing into the mix. This is how the Kulintronica sound was formed. Kulintronica trained in traditional Datu Piang style traditional kulintang music as a member of Kalanduyan’s Plabuniyan Kulintang Ensemble. Together they toured North America from Toronto to Acapulco. As a guitarist and bassist he has performed in a number of San Francisco bands in styles ranging from funk, to rock, to hip-hop, and he is also the guitarist for the Haranistas de Manila rondalla ensemble. Kulintronica started telling his own story in music; performing in the eclectic Filipino Arts scene centered in the South of Market district of San Francisco. Incubated at shows presented by Kularts, Kulintronica experimented and perfected a way of performing kulintang-infused electronic dance music as a solo artist.
