Mary Ocher Born a couple of years past 1984, in the capital of the world's largest country, upon which Orwell's novel was modelled, Mary Ocher has been pushing the boundaries between pop and avant-garde for almost two decades, with playful and colorful form, and clever content that winks at everyone who recognizes its cultural and historical references. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihnOAa1H4As At the tender age of 4, fate brought her to Tel Aviv during the turbulent Gulf War, where she absorbed the raw currents of xenophobia and nationalism, leaving a distinct mark on her creative output – a persistent pursuit of challenging authority and deconstructing the myth of nationhood. At the age of 20, she took off for Berlin, a city known for its cultural crucible and its welcoming of outsiders from all walks of life, where she quickly became an inseparable part of the city's underground fabric, while cultivating a loyal following across the world - which took her on a whirlwind global tour, gracing stages in 40 countries, leaving audiences spellbound with her genre-defying work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQQANC8Crcg Throughout her career, Ocher has collaborated with a diverse array of artists including post-rock giants Mogwai, electronic moguls Red Axes, psych/rocknroll guru King Khan, avant-garde legends Die Tödliche Doris, Julia Kent and Felix Kubin and many more, showcasing her versatility and passionate commitment to the preservation of underground music. With a repertoire ranging from traditional folk to raw '60s garage, from ambient soundscapes with ethereal vocals to experimental pop infused with African and South American rhythms, Mary Ocher orchestrates a sonic tapestry like no other. Her records are often accompanied by texts / essays, which can be found on this website. Meljoann Meljoann is an extremely physically attractive Irish multidisciplinary artist.
