An amalgamation of reverberations and personalities,
MilesExperience–shortened as MSex–started out as modest and as laidback as they
carry themselves: by skipping a morning class and developing the posse of Miles
Bondoc (vocals/guitar), Justin Teano (guitar), Ian Diaz (bass), Guido Hizon
(keyboards), and Timothy Odulio (drums) at their alma mater in University of
Santo Tomas, where they majored in music. A beginning to a now-long-term
friendship, the band’s name was initially MilesExperience69, which was later
altered into its latest form. “That’s MilesExperience with no space and the
word ‘sex’ in the middle. We removed the ’69’ to make it more simple since it
sounds too much like a username,” says Miles. When asked about the genre of
their band, they all held to the same thought: Fusion. Ian adds, “We’re each
other’s influences. A fusion of different genres–that’s what we’re trying to
instill.”
MSex’s sound is a deep dive of hazy, heartstrings-tugging,
arch expression of love, art, and life. With tunes that ring out different
shades of artistry in each other, their harmonious stimuli involve rock, jazz,
blues, classical, and hip-hop music. Their psychedelic experimentations
spectacle in their recently released music video, “Silakbo,” along with their
first ever MV released last August 2015, “Love Supreme,” equally resonating
vibes from musical influences such as Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney,
Eraserheads, Rico Blanco, and As Tall As Lions, to name a few. Epitomizing
their own brand of eccentric and off-the-grid customs, the quintet boosts
themselves from the clutch of new native music acts, evidently placing them on
the heyday of their career at the moment.
