Between 2004 and 2008 Nic undertook formal studies in composition and Music Production at the Australian Institute of Music, graduating in 2009 with BMus (Hons).  During this time he was fortunate to study electroacoustic music with Dr. Daniel Blinkhorn who fostered his interest and development as a composer of primarily acousmatic music.

His works have been broadcast and performed both at home and abroad.  Although his current output is primarily acousmatic, he has also worked successfully as a composer for film and small ensembles.
