about

Mark Nickel, born Christopher Mark Nickel, is a Composer, Music Producer, and Technologist from Benedict, NE. Born in rural Nebraska and always in awe of it’s vast landscapes and grand skies, from an early age Mark Nickel sought to recreate such incredible beauty with sonic landscapes.

Beginning humbly with piano lessons and trombone lessons, Mark gradually began to explore the notes that were not on the page! This continued more fluidly when he began using Digital Audio Workstation software Logic. Since then he has used Ableton Live and MAX. Currently his interest has spread to the open source exploration of coding environment of SuperCollider.

Upon receiving a generous music scholarship, Mark Nickel, is currently studying music composition at the University of Nebraska under Dr. Kurt Knecht. Through this traditional music composition and concurrent music technology education, Mark continues to develop a deeper understanding of the powerful psychoacoustic effects of music. Just as academic challenges are an integral part of the growth of a young musician Mark also believes strongly that what he studies outside of the classroom is equally as important. Recently, Mark studied abroad in Germany at the Hochschule für Musik in Karlsruhe, Baden-Wurttemberg. Here he studied and explored the Musikinformatik (Music Informatics) program. Immersed in courses in SuperCollider, History of Live Electronic Music, Max/MSP, Arduino, and Klangsynthese (sound synthesis) and Transformation, he discovered a deeper passion for the Electronic Sonic Arts.

Whether through piano, trombone, or computer music, Mark tirelessly seeks to understand the harmonic/melodic meaning and scientific reasoning behind how and why music interacts so closely with the soul.
