Lorenzo’s Music Podcast Fedi Specials: No.1 Meljoann

Tom from Lorenzo’s Music (@lorenzosmusic) meets Meljoann (@meljoann), a multidisciplinary artist from Ireland, now based in Brighton, UK. Tom heard about Meljoann on the federated social platform Mastodon, where he learned about their mutual passion for free and open-source music creation.

They 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 new album “Status”, and their innovative approach to music promotion.
