Few composers can claim to have worked with artists as diverse as Het Nationale Ballet (Dutch National Ballet) and rock band Motley Crue, but Nicholas embodies a career that defies convention. He grew up with a classical music training, studying violin and piano before branching out into the world of rock and funk. Then, wanting to explore more contemporary techniques he forged a path for himself as an electronic music composer and producer. His work now focusses on integrating contemporary classical ensembles and electronics, using live instrumentation and multi-channel sound installations simultaneously to connect audiences and spaces.
