I started writing music in High School using a piece of software called guitar Pro 4, it was basically a fancy midi editor. Around that same time I started playing keyboards in a few different rock and metal bands, but my main joy in music was writing. The first Nihilore albums were taking these midi files and running them through my hardware synths and recording back into the free version of Cu base I had (it came with one of my synths).
At the time, I was completely self-taught when it came to music production and had little idea what I was actually doing. My mixes and general production practices were terrible. In 2012, I decided to attend the Australian Institute of Music, as I felt like I had taken myself to the extent that my own self-teaching would allow. Over a 3-year period I got my Bachelor of Music and would start to write and produce, what I consider the true start of Nihilore. - Nihilore

Each piece of music I write starts from a single small idea, whether it's a chord sequence, a rhythm, a melody, a sound, and grows from there. I rarely have the idea of a fully formed track when I start, but more discover the track as I write it. I use Cu base and compose almost entirely in midi (still). Likewise, I use an M-audio midi interface and have traded my old hardware synths almost entirely for soft synths, Massive and Absynth being the main ones.
While I write primarily electronic music of various genres; Synth wave and downtempo being the main ones, I take a very post-rock approach to my song structures. I love writing a big crescendo rather than standard verse-chorus structure. - Nihilore
