Nu.Wav

nu.wav is a NYC-based sound design house crafting forward-thinking, industry-friendly samples. We are a diverse collective of producers, musicians and sound designers embedded in various corners of the New York live and recorded music scenes--from hip hop and r&b to pop, rock, house, electronic, experimental, punk and jazz. The six of us met when we were selected to be a part of Splice’s first-ever Creator Class, a year-long mentorship program that trained us in the art and industry of sample creation. Our different characters, experiences and identities as individuals shape our collective sound-design ethos and aesthetic to make our work stand out among all the samples now available online. Our goal is not only to make uniquely interesting sounds but also to inspire and empower those who may not have the confidence or access to build their craft as music-makers, and to better equip them to express themselves through sonic media, thereby amplifying underrepresented perspectives.
