Joe Namy

Joe Namy often works with sampled sounds, documentary/music videos and photography, investigating aspects of identity, memory, power, and currents encoded in music. His ideas often revolve around the space between two technics turntables--how faders get faded and amplifications transformed. He received a MFA from New York University, participated in Ashkal Alwan's Home Workspace program, and has independetly studied jazz, Arabic, and heavy-metal drumming. His work has been exhibited, screened, and amplified at the Detroit Science Center, the Queens Museum and Brooklyn Museum in New York, the Beirut Art Center, as well as less prominent international dance floors. www.olivetones.com
