this is the way all musicians should do their work. it´s music, not stupid pop issues

@0916hafs its possible to appreciate avant garde and pop equally.

this guy has nothing to say, save a couple of tired clichés like: "i use sound as a material".

i'm not surprised: everything he does is pure form. nicolai is not an artist, he is a decorator.

[hansineffect]

By attempting to claim who is an artist and who is not you are also presuming to define what art is.

[Lashelis]

He is an Architect of sound. I don't know if you can call one an artist.

[pierbover]

@Lashelis Well I'd say he is an artist, but also an architect of sound. Much like abstract paiting deals with textures and colors... But Nicolai himself has declared he doesn't consider himself a musician.
