Some questions that I found myself thinking about while creating this playlist was what is an APIA sound? Should there be one recognizable sound? What APIA artists do I know and listen to regularly? After having looked through my own playlists and other people’s collections, I think the first two questions are still unanswered, but that’s okay. Just taking the time to explore new music and listen to it was joyful, and for me, that’s enough. I hope others feel this same sense of joy, of connection, and of comfort when they listen to this playlist. -Dorothy
