LONG LIVE is the debut EP by Filipino-American composer and sound artist
Mark Kent Navarro. The project blends ambient, post-minimalism, field recordings, and experimental composition. Each track is named after a Baltimore street Navarro once called home, woven with real sounds from those neighborhoods: the hum of a block, passing cars, birds, and the textures of everyday life.
 

“Mabuhay" is a Tagalog expression that can translate to “Long Live"

The EP explores tension of through a palette of synthesis, piano, guitar, bass, and environmental sound, blurring the line between the remembered and the real.
