Kita Mo? The Antipara Single Party

Year

2026

Project Description

SYQL produced 'Kita Mo?' – a community night and single celebration event for 'Antipara', the latest release by makata-pop folk favorites munimuni.

The song is a

Notes

Between the song Antipara itself and all the funky eye tests that are apparently out there, inspiration was never scarce – allowing me space to be light, witty, and bold in the process. Content and refreshed is how this project left me, and I am very grateful for it.

2(0) STEP MARV

Year

2026

Project Description

After 20 years since the release of their sophomore album, Kjwan asked SYQL (in partnership with 123 Block and Backspacer Records) to help stage “2(0) STEP MARV” – a celebration of the LP featuring a full album playthrough, guest acts Mayonnaise, Dilaw, and a DJ set by Chain Messages.

This celebration was also commemorated by the first vinyl release of 2 Step Marv, by Backspacer Records.

Notes

House party flyer meets repeating imagery in old photo gallery UI.

BEL8TED

Year

2025

Project Description

As SIP2? was staged on the 52nd anniversary of the Declaration of Martial Law in the Philippines, it was also a community event and protest.

Beyond the typical musical acts, the event featured educational discussions from various cultural workers’ groups and other sectoral mass organizations; and F&B offerings from a community kitchen and cafe.

Notes

I created custom type – handmade with clay – to add a human touch that digital can’t replicate. I also wanted this gig's identity to be high contrast in both color and texture, an nod to the Filipino's maximalist inclinations.

Sino Idol Mo? The Third Eye Sees All!

Year

2025

Project Description

For the third iteration of the SYQL × TFL 'Idol' series, we explored a concept that incorporates music, magic, and objects, amplifying themes of fate, magic, and luck that already exist in the local music scene. We wanted to recontextualize the "third eye" – a symbol that has roots all over the world but also has hyperlocal impact – as a tool for predicting the unpredictable, the ethos and forte of both prod houses.

Notes

Comfort zones must be left at the door of every SYQL × TFL collab. Played with lots of textures, symmetry and mood.

One More Song 2

Year

2023

Project Description

OMS is an intimate gig where well-loved local bands arrange & perform longer sets for loyal listeners & new fans alike, staging covers of each other’s songs as an event-exclusive treat.

Besides the music (& in true SYQL fashion), several illustrators & local food & beverage businesses also put up their booths for gig-goers.

We publicized and marketed OMS for about a month, and saw a total turnout of over 1,200 people in return.

Notes

This was my attempt at a fully hand-drawn and written poster. Illustration isn't my strong suit so this was a fun challenge for me to explore my own style of simple illustration and lettering.

HOME: 7 Years with The Ridleys

Year

2023

Project Description

The Ridleys celebrated their 7th year as band with HOME, a gig and community night for their loyal audience. Despite the powerhouse lineup of fellow indie folk favorites and turnout in the high hundreds, HOME was meant to be an intimate and deeply personal experience for The Ridleys' community – it was SYQL's job to expand on this feeling through the show's production and visual identity.

Notes

Inspired by simple yet meaningful Russian matchbox illustrations & painted in warm-toned hues — I wanted the gig's visuals to honor the bright, breathing, lived-in comfort that The Ridleys had created in its first 7 years.

Its main elements are callbacks to some of the band’s most well-loved songs: the sun for ‘Icarus’, the moon for ‘Aphrodite’, and headlights in traffic for ‘Starlit Ocean’.
