My Life

Biographical: Olga Avigail Mieleszczuk is a singer, accordion player and researcher of Eastern European musical folklore. Born in Warsaw, for the past several years she has been dividing her time between Warsaw and Jerusalem. Olga is educated in classical music (B.A. in Music School of F.Chopin in Warsaw) and graduated with a master’s degree in Anthropology of Culture (Warsaw University). Since the very beginning of her creative work she has focused on Jewish music of Ashkenazi roots, especially from the borderlands of Poland (Galitzia, Polesye). She's studied Chassidic music, Yiddish folk songs, and multilingual Jewish songs. She participated in a two-year seminar for Yiddish songs in the Yiddish Theatre in Warsaw and is studying Yiddish in the Yung Yidish center in Tel Aviv. Olga also studied the traditional singing techniques of Slavic music (per Ukrainian “white voice") with the Borderland Music Foundation, based in Poland.

Olga has performed at Lincoln Center in New York City, the Jewish Museum in Oslo, the Eden-Tamir Music Center in Jerusalem, the Jewish Music Festival in Warsaw, the Chutzpah! Festival in Vancouver, the Jewish Music Festival in Berkeley California, Festival Piyut in Jerusalem, in the Jewish community Center in Copenhagen, in the Polish Consulate in Kaliningrad...and many other wonderful festivals and places.

Her debut CD "Jewish Folksongs from the Shtetl" was very well received, and her album "Lilalo" was released in 2015.

Olga is initiating Polish-Israeli music projects in cooperation with organizations for Yiddish culture in Israel and Poland: Shalom Foundation in Warsaw, Cukerman’s Gate Foundation and Meeting Rimanov Association, and the Museum of the History of the Polish Jews.

Instructions

The matrix is a small world curation network.

It is designed to be coursed through, from node (person/entity) to node to node in a voyage of discovery.

This is universal open curation in series. A 21st century twist on the oldest and most effective means of publicity of all: word-of-mouth.

Curations in series form worldlines, which enter pages via the THEY CURATE ME tabs and exit via the I CURATE THEM tabs (per above).

The totality of worldlines taken together make up the matrix...a matrix in the original sense of "source", from "mater", Latin for "mother".

All are welcome to curate, and all may decide for themselves whose judgement to trust. One aspect of open curation is that it allows us to see the curations of performing experts in their area, no matter how obscure this area might be, areas where perhaps there are no professional curators.

After a page has been created (it can be as simple or as complex as you like) you create arts-related categories for which you can be recommended. Examples can be seen at the bottom of every member page, including your own.

Categories for which you can be recommended are created on your "THEY CURATE ME" tab. Then when somebody clicks on one of your categories, their image and a link back to their own page will appear there. You will appear on their "I CURATE THEM" tab.

When YOU click on somebody else's category on their "THEY CURATE ME" tab on their page, your image and a link back to your own page will appear there. THEY will appear on YOUR "I CURATE THEM" tab.

If wish merely to curate (recommend), simply don't create categories for yourself. Whatever the case, people getting to your page can see who you think is great. The people you think are great can see you think they are great!

You can put Spotify album or artist links in the Spotify fields; people on your page can click on these links and the Spotify web player will open up to your music.

You can put your music into your own Matrix player by clicking on the Add Music button at the top of your (or any) page.

You can embed YouTube videos into your own video page by clicking on the Add Videos button at the top of your (or any) page.
