Dave Fliesen / Sun TzuSun Tzu (a.k.a. David Fliesen) has been causing a ruckus in the Metaverse for nearly two decades, teaming up with AvaCon and the U.S. Military to blur the lines between reality and virtual awesomeness.
But at OSCC 2024, hold onto your goggles because I’m dusting off my headphones for my first DJ set in over 20 years! The theme? Steampunk—an era that never happened but absolutely should have. I’ll be spinning tunes, including a few of my own Steampunk AI-generated music tracks, because why not let robots with monocles join the fun?
Back in the analog days, I graced the airwaves at Milwaukee’s WBCS FM-103 and WMKE AM-1340, as well as WCQL AM-1370 in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, all while juggling high school at John Marshall’s specialty program in TV and Radio Broadcasting. I even chased after my FCC license at Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) before diving into a 21-year career as a U.S. Navy Journalist.
From DJing in far-off places like Honduras to running TV and radio stations aboard aircraft carriers (because nothing says “high seas” like a good music set), I’ve seen—and spun—it all. I also taught undergrad courses on Radio Skills and Voice & Diction at the Defense Information School (DINFOS), ensuring military broadcasters could bring news and tunes to troops worldwide via the Armed Forces Radio & Television Service (AFRTS).
So, come for the Steampunk vibes and stay for a voice that’s been fine-tuned to make you forget I have a face for radio.
