Artists' Film International: MASS Live at FormaHQ
Broadcast live on Montez Press Radio
26 September 2024

Nadeem Din-Gabisi and Coby Sey collaborate to present a live musical performance to accompany the London premiere of Din-Gabisi’s film MASS at FormaHQ. Produced in 2020, MASS explores how collectivity, allegiances and bonds materialise from an individual’s experiences, both seen and unseen. One of the many collaborators on the film, musician-composer Coby Sey joins Din-Gabisi at FormaHQ in a call and response to MASS, remixing and performing the film’s soundscape/score live for the first time at FormaHQ.

The launch will coincide with a live radio broadcast from FormaHQ by experimental broadcasting and performance platform Montez Press Radio, with programming considered in response to Din-Gabisi’s MASS, in an exploration of the ways solidarity is enacted through shared frequencies. The broadcast line-up includes: a live sound exploration by Alexandria Animba; Radio Kosova e Lirë, with Rina Meta, and Fresh Air, a poetry reading and interview with Hasti and guest Kandace Siobhan Walker.

Montez Press Radio is an experimental broadcasting and performance platform. We were founded in 2018 with the goal of fostering greater experimentation and conversation between artists, writers, and thinkers through the medium of radio. This platform invites different corners of the art world to interact with each other in person and on air—a place where media finally meets flesh. We’re drawn to art that exists in the unexpected, the authenticity of sharing without a script, the sounds of ideas in the making, conversation that forgets there’s an audience. We broadcast from our New York City studio at 46 Canal Street, as well as monthly broadcasts from London and Mexico City.
