An active member of Montreal's musique actuelle scene, Martin Tetreault has been using turntables to create astonishing sonic tapestries for over two decades.

(Un)settling the Score: DJ Olive and Friends

Gregor Asch, better known as DJ Olive, is a turntablist and improviser active in the free improvisation and "illbeint" idioms. He has worked with a remarkable array of musicians including John Zorn, Dave Douglas, Medeski, Martin & Wood and many others. For the past six years, he has been developing a concept that he calls "the vinyl score" - compositions made specifically for the turntable. For his NUMUS appearance, DJ Olive will perform a solo set on turntables. Additionally, one of his vinyl scores will be performed by several of KW's finest turntablists.
