Nux Vomica is a tree(strychnos nux-vomica) native to Southeast Asia having poisonous seeds that are the source of the medicinal alkaloids: strychnine and
brucine.
…and then there`s an ambient project with the same name, and I suspect that most of the readers of this blog will probably know. In fact it is a very exciting sound art musical trio from San Francisco, California. The members playing on this tape have been performing together as a unit for the last 17 years; each with a unique and active history within the experimental music scene. Evan Sornstein, Jenny Liang Herrick and Alan Herrick are the three original members who also have been collaborating with other artists using the name Nux Vomica. Alan Herrick is also the owner of Auricular records; the label that released most of the N.V. works. Nux Vomica utilize sound processing, electronics, found sounds, and aural sculptures to achieve a unique and trance like sound environment. This tape was released as a diy production on 1992. It was a very special release of only 25 numbered copies(Guglielmo leant me his own: number 23), a gift for close friends celebrating the solstice season. It was re-released as cd on Auricular Records on 2004.
