Ollie Turbitt is a composer, writer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Edinburgh, UK. As well as providing guitar and bass duties for a handful of local bands, he has pursued a fluctuating solo career in avant-garde exploration. Under the pseudonyms Oxhead, Sforza Gramsci, OJ Turbitt, Hermetic Gaze and others, his self-released cassettes, USBs and digital albums have aimed to express ideas of cultural memory and false consciousness through improvisation, sound collage, ambient textures, laptop experimentation and field recordings. Ollie also runs Dead Hound Records, which serves as a platform for both his own material and an increasing list of international experimental acts.
