In this episode of Lorenzo's Music Podcast, I meet Meljoann, a multidisciplinary artist from Ireland, now based in Brighton, UK. I heard about Meljoann on the federated social platform Mastodon, where I learned about our mutual passion for free and open-source music creation.
We talk about Meljoann's unique music style, "Hyperjack," a term they coined to describe their blend of New Jack Swing influences with modern electronic elements using tools like Reaper and a mix of hardware and software synthesizers.
The conversation also explores the challenges and opportunities of releasing music independently in the digital age. Meljoann discusses their use of Fairamp, a self-hosted platform for musicians, and their involvement in the federated music community, including involvement on Radio Free Fedi and Peertube.
Additionally, Meljoann talks about their upcoming album "Status," set for release in March, and their innovative approach to music promotion.
