Artist
Nicolai plays with the rules of physicality. Sound is changed and
evolved into time and space and transformed by looping oscillators and tone generators. Through these
processes the essence of pure electricity
is made audible. He works without sequencers, but mathematically edits his work to give his
compositions precise rhythmic
structures. Clicks and glitches are not
used as ornamental additions to the compositions but make
up the essential elements of the work and these sound sources are
applied to the rhythmic groove of Hip-Hop
and R&B. The sounds of electronic information
transmission such as fax tones, modem sounds and telephone
pops and clicks are sampled and organised into loops to which Nicolai
adds longer electronic tones in the background and foreground as the
piece progresses.-Wikipedia
