MikeyPod 294 | Composer/Performer Molly Joyce

I saw Molly Joyce perform her music back in 2017 in an art gallery in the Lower East Side and I have been following her work ever since. Her choice of instrument (a toy chord organ from the 1970s) is intriguing, but that is only a part of what her work is about. Molly’s latest album, Breaking and Entering, is a highly personal album through which she explores disability as a creative source. It was an absolute delight talking with Molly about her ever-evolving understanding of disability and how her own physical difference informs her path as a musician and composer. We also talked about the cultural model of disability which is a huge topic I plan to investigate further. Enough already! Give it a listen yourself!
