Paincake Patrol: Launches //Social Constructs

Sharing the belief that a life worth living is defined by a purpose of your own manufacture and not by social consensus, one-man electronic music project Paincake Patrol launches his first-ever EP //Social Constructs on December 5, 2015 at Today x Future in Cubao, Quezon City.

Created in 2011 out of passion for music, Paincake Patrol is the recording project of musician Eeman Bulotano. This experimental solo project is focused on creating alternative electronic and ambient music, reflecting the artist’s experiences and views on existence in general.

“[I want to] make music people can listen to without [them] having to ignore the person standing next to them,” says Eeman whose goal is to provide music that “makes you think, but yet somehow not [distract you] at all.”

Emotions, Experiences and Expression

The idea behind //Social Constructs and Paincake Patrol itself is inspired and widely influenced by the very existence of ambient music as pioneered by Brian Leno during the 1980’s. Usually electronic and instrumental in nature, ambient music aims to create a perfect balance between disappearance and presence. 


Though it has existed for a long time now, ambient music remains relatively unknown to the mainstream crowd as it is seen as "too smart" or "overly deep.” However, Eeman and many other ambient music artists see this type of music as simpler and more relatable compared to any other genre because it provides the chance to be freely interpreted by its listeners. This genre is powered by the experiences and emotions not just by the one who created the music but also by those whom the music is created for. 

Songs from this genre evolve from the mere self-expression of one artist into many different stories weaved by those present in the audience. They are taken and understood in more ways than one – similar to how individuals give meaning to various things and, ultimately, to life.


Existence Defined and Redefined

Music relives one’s memories, and the entire Paincake Patrol project intends to elicit nostalgia while stimulating thought-provoking conversations. With this particular EP, the artist focused on his view of the general meaning of existence and how empty it may seem when viewed only in an objective and logical way.

Each composition is appropriately titled based heavily on how the artist views reality. Combining master beats with ethereal notes, //Social Constructs’ first three tracks aim to reflect the existential angst and loneliness one might experience when he or she has failed to see reason behind life.

(Ee)Man behind the Music

Fascinated with weird ambient and dreamy sounds,Eeman has been recording his own music and releasing it on Sound Cloud starting 2010. He has released three LPs from 2011 to 2014. Since then, he has been featured in a few publications, such as Indienation blog and Exposed Vocals. In the Philippine Indie Rock Awards 2015, he was awarded Keyboardist of the Year through his current band, Audio Drive Thru. 

He took the next step early this year by doing live gigs all over the metro. Six short months and several introductions to numerous people later, he is now ready to share his music more widely to the world. 

Check out Paincake Patrol on Facebook, Sound Cloud, Twitter, Instagram and his blog or catch more of Eeman’s keyboards and synths as he plays with Audio Drive Thru.

Fun Time in DreamPlay - Our Family Delightful Experience

Last July we have a free ticket of DreamPlay given by my hubby’s Auntie. So we go to the newest interactive entertainment and play center in town, DreamPlay, located at Retail Avenue of City of Dreams Manila, allows the kids to play, create, and learn in a fantasy world with DreamWorks Character like Shrek, the Madagascar animals, and Kung Fu Panda.

It was our first time to visit City of Dreams Manila where we check-in for overnight stay.  Everyone was excited because we don’t want to miss this one–of-a-kind experience. So evenfarther we go.

Due to heavy traffic we arrived around 6pm and immediately lined up to register because our tickets are good for 4 hours stay to play. There was already a line forming by that time. Registration also took a bit longer than  expected. 

While we were in line, a coordinator asked for personal information and entered in the tablet, both for kids and adults, to speed up. But when we got to the cashier to show our tickets, we were asked for the info again. I guess the one logged in the tablet did not register in the main system.  We forgot that we haven’t eaten yet. Unfortunately, there were no fastfood or casual dining places that the kids will like and the entire restaurant there are in mid-to high-end price range. We ended up in Jollibee, walking distance from City of Dreams.  

Here are some picture we take while inside the DreamPlay!!!

Stairway to Heaven

DREAMTHEATRE

We experienced 4D movie clips from different movie of DreamWorks like Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, and How to Train your Dragon. That experience was amazing and we can’t resist to scream because we feel were inside the screen.On the other hand, should I say we feel were to close because we feel the water, air and everything in the movie.

FAST AS LIGHTNING KUNG FU FIGHTING

They joined Kung Fu Panda Dojo and Po and learned Kung Fu.
