This was one in the series of events at the IDS to demonstrate a cross-discipline nature of the designer’s profession. Olajide Paris, an American composer and producer whose works have been used by Boeing, Sikorsky Helicopter, Intel, Raytheon, General Electric, Schilling Robotics, Carrier, Pratt & Whitney and so on, and who, before arriving to live and work in Georgia, worked with the stars like Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, Janet Jackson, and here even made a remix of one of Nani Bregvadze’s most famous songs, said: “Quality is of great importance to me - I always try to offer a society a high quality production”. Combining the analogue sounds produced by the instruments of the Tbilisi Symphony Orchestra, with digital notes from his sophisticated computer tools and software, Olajide is able to offer the growing worldwide market of video, film, commercials, animation and other sound users a quality mix of musical compositions that are masterfully designed in Georgia.
