biography
B.G.Nichols is a sound researcher, artist and designer working in the UK. He has been active in the experimental scene for the last 22 years. He has operated under various guises and roles as a staff writer and reviewer for various prominent underground magazines, as a promoter, and as an artist in his own right. With his first successful project, ECM:323 co-founded with Linden Hale, he enjoyed success as a sound installation artist with presentations at major UK galleries, including the Museum of Installation, The Art House Lewisham, South London Gallery, ICA, and the Institute of Contemporary Sculpture. ECM:323 also launched their work at SONAR in Barcelona in 1999 and 2001. In 2004, Nichols temporarily shelved his collaborative sound installation work to devote himself to the production and promotion of his own minimalist sound works under the names Si-COMM, and Level. He has now devoted himself to the dissemination of minimalist electronics and digital composition via his WHITE_LINE radio mix show, broadcast as part of the Garden of Earthly Delights show on radio CRMK. He is a dedicated spokesman for all forms of minimalist composition and sound work, and is currently working on new material, as well as compiling a series of essays on the subject of "minimalism in the new millenium". He is also initiating his "ARCHISONICS" project, which focusses on having his minimalist sound pieces being commissioned for contemporary spaces in collaboration with architectural organisations.
