Cultural Attaché, Patrick Lahey, is pleased to announce that the United States Embassy in Warsaw is one of the sponsors for “TURNING SOUNDS 3,” an international conference to be held on September 19-25, 2005. TURNING SOUNDS 3 is a conference for contemporary music artists: composers, DJs, performers, producers, as well as music critics, journalists and theorists, who are interested in mutual influences between contemporary “high” music and progressive music rooted in pop culture. During the conference, there will be workshops, installations, and concerts around Warsaw. The American participant will be DJ “Olive”, also known as Gregory Asch. His live performance will take place on September 25, 2005 at 21:00 at “1955 Klub.” For more information on the performance, please see the following web site: http://www.turningsounds.pl
DJ Olive was raised in Boston, Nova Scotia, Trinidad, Rhode Island, and Australia. In 1999, DJ Olive co-founded “the Agriculture” record company, which hosts events and supports an internet music store and web radio station. In 2003, Olive released his debut solo CD, “Bodega,” a continuous mix tape of dance music. DJ Olive has participated in numerous cultural events including exhibitions at the Brooklyn Sculpture Center 2004, Venice Biennale 2003, and the Whitney Biennial 2002.
