Artists Activists and Audiences

Artists, Activists and Audiences is a series of one hour audio programs broadcast on 90mil Radio where we explore the artists’ work in the context of their processes, motivations, topics of interest / activism and their evolving relationship to their audiences. Some episodes have been created and broadcast live in the 90Mil studio, some have been recorded remotely and edited as a collage and some have been recorded in another studio prior to broadcast with minimal editing. We’re interested to explore different formats so let us know if you have a suggestion!

AAA4, Oy

In Artists, Activists and Audiences 4, we meet with Joy Frempong and Marcel Blatti (aka Melodydreamer) to talk about their avant-pop and genre-bending musical duo, OY.

In the hour-long session recorded in OY's studio just before Christmas, Joy and Marcel talk about their long term collaboration, their motivations, approaches to composition and performance and share several of their wonderfully intricate and original recordings.

Unfortunately the audio got lost. Maybe the NSA has it?

Martin Gordon though can be found we understand.
