Anniversary Show!

Hi! We’re celebrating our first year anniversary on April 28 at Souk Kafe, a nice place in our hometown! It will be a benefit show for our dear friend and sound artist Lirio Salvador. He is still recovering from a brain injury after being a victim of hit-and-run accident. There will be no entrance fee but we hope that you could come and donate any amount for Lirio. We will pass around a donation box for those who would like to help.

We are preparing a special set for everyone. Two of our favorite groups from Cavite - Lakbay Lahi and Elemento will also perform. In between sets of the performing groups, sound artist Erick Calilan will spin world music records from his vinyl collection.

The first 30 persons to arrive will receive copies of Gentle Universe DVD (special release/limited edition) plus posters & stickers.

Attendees on April 28 will get a chance to win a lovely camera strap from Punchdrunk Panda and surprise items courtesy of Secret Fresh, the premiere vinyl toy shop! There will be a raffle after the set of Gentle Universe. Thank you Punchdrunk Panda and Secret Fresh!

There will also be mini exhibit of gig posters, photos and drawings from Gentle Universe. We also asked some of our friends to create illustrations which will be on exhibit during the event.

Hope to see you! Please share the e-flyers and invite friends! Thank you!

Truly yours,

Cris Garcimo

Gentle Universe at Anteroom Sessions Two

Hello! We were invited to play at Anteroom Sessions by Punchdrunk Panda and Heima Store last Saturday, March 31. Here is the e-flyer that they designed for us. Thanks to Punchdrunk Panda & Heima!



The photo on the e-flyer was taken during our audio and visuals set at Ayala Museum for Ang Illustrador ng Kabataan's 20th Anniversary exhibit (November 2011).

Our friend Joy Dela Victoria watched the show last Saturday and took some nice photos. Thank you Joy!



Here is a photo of the red toy piano, toy tambourine and melodica.

We put a gentle universe sticker on the big casio keyboard.
