Minsan kasi pinipilit kaya ang nangyayari, hilaw kapag lumabas ang kanta, parang walang depth, walang feeling, walang emotion,” he remarked.</p><p>Sarkie went on: “Mahalin niyo kung anong instrumentong gamit niyo. Galingan niyo doon para ifocus niyo doon ang sarili niyo na talagang ialay nioyo ang sarili niyo sa craft niyo para kapag kayo naman yung tumanda na para kayo naman yung maguturo sa iba.”</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-JrXwZSzAI/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A1315637.699999988%2C%22ls%22%3A816832%2C%22le%22%3A817192.2999999821%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>On the other hand, Anjo Inacay, the band’s cellist, also shared that the Silent Sanctuary’s creativity in making their signature music and their genuine approach to relaying their songs to their listeners are also the thing that they considered as their greatest lesson for more than two decades as a band.</p><p>“Silent Sanctuary kasi ay naging bandang may string or may orchestral arrangements. I can say naman na we’ve always been genuine with our intentions, but we always created our own path para mailabas yung creativity namin,” he expressed.</p><p>“Yung pagkagenuine sa pagiging musicians and artists ayun yung greatest lesson namin,” he added.</p><p>Silent Sanctuary has been an indie artist since 2018 before renewing ties with Universal Records. They also have a new line-up with Sarkie, Anjo, Allen Calixto and three new members, Poch Villalon, Ronnie Rompal, and Kim Mirandilla-Ng, in 2022.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C78ipZ9ScZt/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A1289780.900000006%2C%22ls%22%3A816832%2C%22le%22%3A817192.2999999821%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Although the band has been well known and popular throughout the years, Silent Sanctuary still think that they have not yet reached the peak of their career and want to try and explore things more.</p><p>“Gusto ko po sana iachieve na hindi magugulat yung listeners na iba na ang Silent Sanctuary pero hindi nila alam na nagiging komplikado na paunti-unti (yung songs namin),” Sarkie said.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/9/11/silent-sanctuary-shares-future-goals-after-signing-again-with-universal-records-947" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>READ: Silent Sanctuary shares future goals after signing again with Universal Records</u></strong></a></div><p>He also noted that he wanted to get out of his comfort zone by writing something new but at the same time keeping their signature music intact.</p><p>“Personally po kasi ako, as a songwriter and music lover, feeling ko hindi pa ako lumalabas sa comfort zone ko.
