DJ-ing with Shine
In spring 2013, Oliver Shine, Swiss DJ, musician and composer conducted a day-long workshop at Tumo. He discussed DJ-ing and using the DJ Booth equipment with Tumo members. He then asked each workshop participant to enter an ad hoc competition by sending him one of their mixes. The winner was 17 year old David Stepanyan with his fusion piece based on traditional Armenian music.
