Diana Mavroleon in conversation with Annemarie Borg 12 May 
"Annemarie Borg's work is eclectic in that it traverses both mixed media and the individual/separate forms of music, words, poetry, sounds and the visual arts. As Founder of the ‘Antara Project’ Borg uses art forms as tools to deal with her main concerns: the fundamental changes in social and cultural environments and how these affect the present day and generations to come. “In today's world we have created our own challenge, are we now up to the task of facing it? In this task what is the part Artists can assume?” (AMB). Antara aims to build a louder voice through Art and will result in a compilation album and a day conference/performance later this year. Borg’s ‘live’ shows range from classical repertoire to experimental music with organic sound-scapes, electronica, improvisation, often in collaboration with other musicians...

"Antara is a fresh and innovative project that curates Art as if the future matters. "For a future worth living, we must invest in creativity now" says Annemarie. (the full interview and review is available on my website and at Resurgence.org)
 
Her current projects include: “Still Motion” "Cameos" "perceptions" "Kantele" and "Antara/YWhales"-a mix of  live performances started in Spring 2012 in London (Classical meets Ambient, Jazz and Electronic with improvisations on canvases of atmospheric tones and moods) and recording projects.

AO Music, (also known as AO) is a pan-cultural World music group, known for an exotic blend of ethnic texture, rhythmic energy and ambient harmony. Their compositions employ melodic refrains, sung by Miriam Stockley (acclaimed solo artist, and voice of Karl Jenkins' Adiemus), and children’s choral ensembles from around the globe. Song refrains are typically sung in a mixture of ancient languages or made-up phonetics, so as not to pay allegiance to a particular ethnicity; thereby lending to a more universal impression. Each song is composed, produced and performed by three well established recording artists; founder Richard Gannaway, Jay Oliver and Miriam Stockley. Since the Spring of 2000, the group has produced four albums on their own indie label Arcturian Gate (established in 1996), with their latest album, Asha, slated for an April 7th 2017 release. AO Music produces the sound using a blend of live acoustic instruments and digital samples that cover a broad range of world indigeny, mixed with contemporary elements.
