Felixdroid (Nick Wallbank) undertook classical piano lessons at an early age and composers such as Bach, Debussy and Satie quickly became firm favourites. Whilst working his way through piano exams he also developed apenchant for experimentation, the placing of sticky tape to the strings, or drawing pins into the hammers began to open his ears to new timbres and new possibilities.
Some years later whilst attending Art School in he was introduced to a recording studio where his appetite for new musical colours such as Cage, Reich, Stockhausen would feed his creativity and subsequently influence him.
His current work ranges from simple and sometimes haunting piano pieces to complex electronic soundscapes. "The Longing" represents his most personal and inward looking work to date and features mostly acoustic sounding instruments such as piano, cello and vibes. It is mostly contemporary classical in genre and draws on his influences such as Max Richter and Sylvain Chauveau
Felixdroid is excited by the vast sonic landscape that exists and strives to embrace all influences to enhance his work.
