It tells the story of mankind's prosperous future on a planet called Space Diaspora on which humans finally developed the ability to learn from their mistakes.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eLife on Space Diaspora is a reflection and a distortion of our own struggling world, conveying sentiments of modern alienation and transnational identity. OY's thoughtful and humorous, tongue-in-cheek approach looks back at current times from the vantage point of a chaos-driven but blooming society in our own future. A vision which elicits tears as well as smiles, and praises the huge potential of the in-between.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe Space Diaspora fable is a framework which enables OY to make use of their multiple talents and create a playful and imaginative opus, bursting with melodies carried by Joy Frempong's formidable voice. As voices have remained the strongest form of communication throughout history, the album's electronic core is built out of transformed vocal samples. They reappear in synthesized form - as melodies, chords or patterns - backing the band's reflections on transhumanism, diaspora or transculturation. The resulting sound could be described as a futuristic blend of rebellious tribal jazz and electronica, which the band call 'Oyxploitation'.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe broad musical background of the co-writers ranges from underground experiments to composing for contemporary theatre and reflects that, for them, there is just one love: music as an entity. OY face the absurdity of life with humour, they share with generosity and invite listeners to participate in their musical journey.\u003cp\u003eOpening\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade Of Love\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpace Diaspora\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranshuman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverybody Searching\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Story Of Space Diaspora\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomething Of The Past\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA New Planet Is Born\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShrugging Shoulders\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe We We We\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSame Same Different\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollective Information Exchange\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHorizon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAir Bands\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy Tears To The Ones In The Ocean\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOracle\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55169460011393,"sku":"595278","price":5.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51seNKiPmGL._SL1500.jpg?v=1768077277","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/595278","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
