Nux Vomica

Nux Vomica℠ is a sound art musical trio based in San Francisco, California. The present members of Nux Vomica℠ have been performing together, as a unit, for the past seventeen years. Each with a unique and active history within the experimental music field.

Nux Vomica℠ utilize sound processing, electronics, found sounds, and aural sculpture to achieve a unique and trance like sound environment. The sounds travel from peaceful to terrifying containing elements from the ethno-influenced to industrial and create a personal soundtrack for the individual listener.

Nux Vomica℠ has involved themselves in the recording of at least 12 releases within the US and three available on cassette labels within Italy and Sweden and the U.K. Their pieces have appeared on over 30 experimental music compilations. They have contributed to sound tracks of films and have produced several experimental films themselves as part of their multi media performances. These performances usually include the utilization of sound and vision for the purpose of allowing the audience to drift beyond the performance space to become more involved mentally with the performance. The current performance includes dual slide projection as well as full screen video projection designed by the members of Nux Vomica℠. It is a dreamscape painted before the eyes of the audience with both light and sound.

In 2008, Nux Vomica℠ is beginning it's 18th year of sound art production as a team, in the Bay Area.
