Hibernation / CNN Philippines / Aug 9, 2016

"Hibernation (a.k.a Ryan Pangilinan) is a noise improviser and engineering graduate from Tarlac. He engages in the brooding and the sonically grotesque, as a master tinkerer of guitar effects and homemade sequencers and synthesizers. A lot of his sound pieces sprawl over twenty minutes or more, approaching the border of harsh noise and dealing with self-proclaimed themes of boredom, darkness, loneliness, social malfunction, mental illness. The sound may seem unsettling to unaccustomed ears but that is the very function of harsh noise — to express the dark and the unspeakable, to show the void by means of getting in touch with the deep black recesses of the mind."

Hibernation / RETM TXF, Cubao

Hibernation - Ruthless Expert Trip Mental Music / June 22, 2016 / Today X Future, Cubao, Philippines. Rotten noise. Static walls of boredom. Social sickness.

Hibernation / Pixel Collective Experimental Night (March 19, 2016)

Last March 19, 2016, Hibernation performed a harsh noise set in Boiler Room, Makati for Pixel Collective's Experimental Night. Other artists who also had set at that night were Lush Death and Ugong. I gave some copies of In Trash We Trust CDs to selected people who went there. Another night of noise and mental sickness.
