Nick is a media composer from the UK, living in Latvia. His music is diverse but maintains a strong emphasis on story and character based, thematic writing. He enjoys combining synthesis and sound design with acoustic instruments and draws from his many years of experience as a professional musician.
In his recent work on Harlowes Well – awarded best original score at IndieX Fest LA – he made use of a conventional orchestral sound to evoke the style of classic 90s horror films. In contrast, the film prior to that, The Ant, required a completely synthesized score that combined sound design and music, recording sounds in similar spaces to the film to worldize them and blend the score elements with diagetic sounds. His work on Bingo – awarded Best Comedy at Horsham Film Festival – utilised contemporary horror elements with traditional and hybrid orchestral writing while in Being Within he made use of string quartet, synthesis and rich, noire-esque harmony.
For the film, A View of the World from Fifth Avenue, Nick collaborated with the artist King Charles, co creating 2 songs that featured prominently on the soundtrack.
Nick transitioned into composing following a fulfilling career as a session musician. He toured with SG Lewis, performing notably on the Jimmy Fallon Show, and with King Charles, supporting Mumford and Sons at Wembley Arena and The Rolling Stones at Hyde Park.
