nums

Nums is an American producer and vocalist who uses real-time processing applications and customized software to produce electronic music. His live shows involve live triggering of samples, live looping, live vocal processing, and thumping beats. His goal is to take his studio sound into a live environment that allows for improvisation and interaction between sound and software. Nums is on vocals, keys, guitar, laptop, monome, and multiple midi controllers.

His interactive, three-dimensional surround sound mixes and sound designs have been critically acclaimed. He just finished sound design on 2K Games hit BioShock, and MTV Games hits Rock Band 2 and The Beatles: Rock Band. His songs have been placed in films shown at The Sundance Film Festival and the New York International Independent Film Festival. Nums has developed a set of performance based generative plug-ins, which through their interactions and transformations continuously regenerate and redefine the audio signals that produced them.
