The third episode of Darmstadt On Air, the audio podcast of the Darmstadt Summer Course, is hosted by Antye Greie-Ripatti, also known as Poemproducer or AGF. Antye is a German electronic musician and composer, now living in Northern Finland. She chatted with YATTA, a Los Angeles and Brooklyn based interdisciplinary artist and musician. YATTA has shared the stage with musicians like Cardi B, William Basinski and The Sun Ra Arkestra. Improvised poetry is an important aspect in YATTA’s drone based performances on stage.

Antye and YATTA met for the first time some years ago when they had both been invited to a festival curated by Moor Mother. In this podcast, YATTA and AGF chat about whiteness, white nights, black lives in the US in relation to music making, and the voice in 2020.

Many thanks to AGF and YATTA, to Antye also for the editing, Stefan Prins for the jingle, and Olaf Mielke!
