Twelve X, founded in 2012, is a Toronto based contemporary music duo (Matthew Miller (synths/electronics) and Neil Wiernik (bass/electronics)). Matt Miller is a multi-disciplinary musician, composer and sound designer, exploring found sound, DIY synths, live remixing and controllerism, and Neil Wiernik is an audio contortionist firmly grounded in formal contemporary composition but is also at home in the rich traditions of dub studio culture, post-rock atmospherics and the by chance musings of free music improvisors.
