ELEMENTS is spearheaded by artistic director Ryan Cayabyab, who also facilitated the live tryouts and auditions in each region last September.
“We found exceptional songwriters that we kept on thinking that they would be undiscovered for a long, long time had ELEMENTS not come along. It is time for these songwriters to shine and be given the basic information they need to penetrate the industry,” said Cayabyab.

When OutKast started making records back in the mid-’90s, André “3000” Benjamin and Antwan “Big Boi” Patton looked like ordinary dudes.
“The budgets weren’t that big at the time,” Big Boi says today. “So a clean pair of socks, flip-flops and tracksuits was the attire.” As OutKast became legendary, their fashion sense grew more ambitious.
The duo’s last great album, 2003’s Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, featured a song called “Bowtie” that summed up the transformation: “Crocodile on my feet / Fox fur on my back / Bow tie ’round my neck / That’s why they call me the gangsta mack.” So when Paste decided to run a spread on bow ties, we knew who to call.
“When you have on a bow tie, the bow tie commands respect,” Big Boi says. “And if you got a bow tie on, you gotta be a bad motherfucker to have a bow tie on. Especially if it’s not a clip-on and you tied it yourself.”

Maestro Olivier Ochanine, the new Musical Director of the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, leads the PPO in its final season concert on April 15, 2010, 8pm at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) Main Theater.
Olivier Ochanine
Billed as “Musical Director’s Gala”, the program includes Shostakovich’s Festive Overture in A major, Massenet’s Suite from Le Cid, Barber’s Adagio for Strings and Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5 in D minor, Op. 57.
Maestro Ochanine began his musical studies in his native France. He studied the flute in Germany and the US, and then the contrabass in the United States as well while pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree for flute performance at the University of Kentucky (UK).
While at UK, Ochanine studied flute with Gordon Cole (UK) and bass with Matthew Zory (Cincinnati Symphony), and frequently performed on flute and double bass with the award-winning UK Wind Ensemble under Richard Clary. He studied conducting with Dr. Robert Baldwin (Director of Orchestral Studies at the University of Utah). He also served as auxilliary bassist with the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1998, Ochanine was chosen to perform as bassist for the celebrated American Spiritual Ensemble’s Gershwin Tour of Spain. In 2001, Ochanine began his Masteral studies in Orchestral Conducting at USC’s Thornton School of Music in Los Angeles, where he gained conducting experience while working with the USC Symphony, Chamber and Concert Orchestras. He was chosen as the recipient of the Conducting Department Award in 2003. While at USC, Ochanine studied conducting under John Barnett (former Associate Conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic) and Larry Livingston (former Dean of the Thornton School). He has also studied under John Farrer (Bakersfield Symphony), Donald Thulean (Spokane Symphony), and Daniel Lewis (former conducting teacher at USC) in conjunction with the California Conducting Institute, where he worked with the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra. More recently, he participated in a Master Class with Gustav Meier (Peabody Conservatory) and Mark Gibson (CCM), at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music.
