Nick works with acoustic ensembles and modular synthesizers, in concert, studio, staged and installation contexts. Central to his work is an exploration of the raw and non-linear sounds of feedback and distortion, the carving out of finely textured sonic detail from found sound and noise, and a speculative exploration of synthetic sounds that border on the real.
Nick has held the Mendelssohn Scholarship (18-20’), was a Gaudeamus Award nominee (18-19’), and a Styria-Artist-in-Residence Scholarship (19’). He has also been awarded prizes and residencies by the London Symphony Orchestra, The Los Angeles Philharmonic Association, The Royal Scottish National Orchestra, The Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize, Sound and Music's New Voices, New Dots and Inspired by Digital.
