Free City Radio

A set of two conversations between Indigenous musician and scholar Jarrett Martineau and Stefan Christoff. These conversations illustrate a range of focal points that revolve around the exchange between two artists actively engaged with anti-colonial movements across many years.

In April 2025 Jarrett Martineau and Stefan Christoff released their first album A TURBULENT SKY, out on Pyramid Blood recordings. The album mixes field recordings, ambient and noise elements, a collaborative album developed across a couple of years between Vancouver and Montreal mostly.
