Dualitydrum and bass artist
Duality, aka Sean Bautista, has a unique take on music that showcases the duplexity of his musical references. His sound is distinctly deep, percussive, and bass-forward, conveying an aversion to rigidity by mixing the old with the new, as well as analogue with digital. These qualities make his club sets refined yet complex. Whether he’s transporting the room into mental dimensions or warming up the floor with atmospheric textures, he’s sure to deliver layers of meticulously arranged sonic frequencies. Informed by a background in music and design, Sean Bautista’s work decodes the simultaneous convergence and divergence of different forms of media. After short term studies at Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design and Parsons in New York, Sean earned a BFA in Information Design from Ateneo de Manila University, helping develop a practice that incorporates music with social and speculative design. Through his involvement in a broad range of industries, he seamlessly blends and recontextualizes references, creating “non-native” articulations of his creative point of view. He currently co-directs transit records, an independent electronic music label; TETSUO, an East-Asian inspired fast casual restaurant, and; Red Light Run Club, a sports collective and creative agency. In 2018, Sean introduced his DJ moniker, Duality, showcasing the duplexity of his musical references. His club sets and radio broadcasts express a distinctly deep, percussive, and bass-heavy sound…
