It began with a beat generator program called Fruityloops way back around 2001 (or 2002, I forget). It wasn't much at first; but it was the seed that brought about the flame of music addiction and realization in us. Over time, we discovered other programs that stretched our imaginations to the limit.
We had been jumping from one band to another (and not necessarily bandmates) before this. We were frustrated of the limited expression of music that bands in a small town like Tacloban could produce. Minimal exposure, no sponsors and too much laid-back mentality of musicians were the basic reasons (although not exactly accurate) that the music industry in our hometown literally suffered, if we even have an industry. Local radio kept bombarding us with too much mainstream tunes that it simply and quietly drowned out the creativity that the gifted musicians of this town created.
This is the small town reality. And we intend to change that.
We, M.O.T.S., firmly believe that there is a HUGE potential for artists and musicians in Tacloban.
We realized that we needed a loophole out of this rut.
We created M.O.T.S. for the sole purpose of representing Tacloban and its musical artistry.
We created it because we must.
M.O.T.S. in itself, is a statement.
