Music Genre: I am going to say EDM, (Electric Dance Music) or hardstyle, which is the heavy use of synthesizers and sound distortion. We can also use the term “Futuristic” as the music does resound with science fiction enthusiasts and outliers.
Dayuhan, now Dayuhan Space Orchestra (DSO), started as a solo project in 2004 then evolved as a band since 2006. Released an indie album in 2011.
Influences come from different band members. Rembrandts previous band – The Vince Noir Project -claimed their influences as David Bowie and Blondie. I can see that mix in DSO given Bowie’s “Space Odyssey” and Blondie’s electro dance pioneering. In their words, DSO musical influences are Daft Punk, Kraftwerk, LCD Soundsystem, The Smashing Pumpkins, the Beatles,ELP Emerson Lake and Palmer.
There are political influences, historical and present, and those influences show up in DSO videos. The following song as an example. In the background we can hear political speeches. I believe I saw images of former president Duterte. The music is a futuristic mix of drama and action leading to what seems like fighting and rioting. They are playing the electrical background music of Filipino lives.
