" . . . Thomas 'numin' is a specialist in the
art of sound, his critical ear and skill wrought of fastidiousness and passion
over time, (a lifetime), with creativity necessitating keeping abreast of
technological development. Following serious
study of music, instruments and theory, and professional performance, natural
aptitude steered him into a broad journey through craftsmanship and experience
in the technical industry. Music -
Composing and Performance, and expert tech in Sound Design & Production are
his environment. His main instruments
are basses, guitars and mixing desks! He
sight reads, reads scores, transcribes notation, composes, improvises, and has
maintained his 'ears' through successive onslaughts of manning 20K pumping rigs.
"
A SoundSmith of note, Thomas aka numin,
has been active across a diverse musical spectrum, from performance in
marching bands, brass ensemble recitals, formal, classical orchestras,
to custom building sound installation facilities for health clubs! An
erstwhile music teacher, versatile in a range of instruments, Thomas has
been recorded in a miscellany of studio scenarios and he is also a
multi-faceted, professional entertainer. Following academic study of
classical music at tertiary level, with apprenticeship and training in
sound system design, construction and engineering accomplished in
Johannesburg, Thomas formed Admusic,
a Studio and Concert Sound outfit. As recording producer for new,
in-house material and operating a stadium road rig in delivery of
staging and sound for southern African, sub-continent, open-air and

31 hectares of rural, coastal wilderness where he was a co-driver with
his partner. A selection of their originals out of these extraordinary
times was released on the compact disc "drive by’s" and,
inspired, systematic, live takes of African nature settings shaped a
collection of ingenious audio resource. The sojourn of artistic
sourcing in pastoral scene with its store of prolific, compositional
creation turns northern hemisphere technical for industry product

d.p.w.t.’s sound ventures began in an eco project
on 31 hectares of rural wilderness, with a metre of black PVC pipe -
blowing, making waves of didjeridoo: age 7. Since then, it’s been a ten
year study of various aspects in music, from the foundationous beat and
rhythms, to computers and tech, digital synthesis and the processing of
flirtatious vocals and leads. >>>>> emerging into now as
producer-e.j.performer, beat master d.p.w.t. composes experiments, mixing and
mastering hands on, his 'sounds of the electronic' . . . . 'Experimentations'
range from being less 'dance' orientated, the rap of 'Rode Rage' and 'Why Do I
Lie Here' soundtrack, to the psy aspects of 'Sly', the progressive house of
'IFIITE', the tweaking of electro-ness in 'deprived of sleep', and deploying
space and time through the rumble of '169.254.118.83.7777'. Palpable, the
Orgone in '2c' and 'Technorgone(3)', these are amongst numbers in a growing
portfolio. d.p.w.t. wouldn’t confine his tracks by specifying genre; his
sound is that of his own: 'Alembik'. From his I.T. beginning, d.p.w.t.
has been focusing on deep tracks and continues to terrorize with “there can
always be more bass . . . .” as he takes zest from the pleasures of VOLUME
awoken in him - Age 2, 'Admusic' concert sound across Africa. He
understands though, from working as 'sound kick' for 'numin' at music venues -
speakers can cope with only so much. Alongside production, his e.j.
(electronic jockey) performances are LIVE with originals and he steers away
from super marketed artists, rather sourcing independently, which creates a
unique audio sensation. Within 'eco music factory' label production team,
d.p.w.t. operates as beat master, digital technician, electronic creator, and
co-mixing - mastering engineer. doane spends as much time as possible
outdoors attempting to catch sun, keeping fit, riding bicycle and working with
his hands (crafting bows and arrows with his brother), to balance the effects
of technology. Until further notice . . . .

. . . profoundly entertained by and adept at
technology, versed in the workings and efficient repair of electronic gadgetry,
proficiently chef in the 'jazz kitchen', dabbling in media through gaming and
visual encapsulations, a committed Karateka and, in a daily discipline of
scribing, in preference, Danann invests himself in a hands-on fires, soil,
water, big sky, Earth organic, generally busy with wood, metal, mechanical
crafting, producing inimitable sporting tools in a variety of archery bows,
knives and vehicular contraptions. Even when the weather doesn't intend
to permit, he's outdoors. There's been so much more to say since the
first pic and the next! Until further notice . . . . or rather, further
updates. old velos cycle race - There was a South African who turned out on his pride and joy a 35lb Raleigh sports bike from the eighties. He wore a pair of sneakers, baggie shorts (no chamois) and .. a woolly cardigan. When the cardigan got too heavy, he dumped it and rode nearly the whole thing in just a tee-shirt.
