Vasily Gerardovich Shumov (Russian: Василий Герардович Шумов; born 23 March 1960) is a Russian-American artist, musician, multimedia and experimental artist, short film director and record producer. He is probably best known for his music band Center, which was formed in Soviet Union (late 1970s - late 1980s) and has been based in Los Angeles since 1990. Shumov created music in genres such as new wave, electronic music, and avantgarde. His art of singing is often sprechgesang, especially on later albums.
