Sounding The First Horn
Today, Katunog boasts 104 unique entries of instruments with a number of them having multiple sample sets, and a few thousand instances of downloads as of writing. With the already extensive collections of the UP Center for Ethnomusicology, a database of sounds of the instruments of the Philippines is more than welcome. This project is the fruit of the labors of people across the country, different in languages, residence and walks of life but united by their fervor to preserve, develop and impart the culture of the Philippines. Katunog, we hope, will be one of the many cultural and technological efforts to come.
