These tracks showcase a brief cross-section of music I have written for games and short films. Some were written purely as demonstration tracks to show how quickly I can work. No track here has taken more than 2-3 days to produce from start to finish. For an even wider variety of music please check out my soundcloud pages and sets! For any musical or sound design needs (from epic orchestra to light piano jazz) please feel free to contact me at benedict p nichols @ gmail . com (without spaces) or send me a message here! 

Thanks, hope you enjoy my music!

Relaxing Piano Music – work, study, meditation – relaxdaily N°045

A WIP track, for a client. Something of an overture :)

WIP Overture (for client)

Benedict Nichols official demo is a dressed mix using sounds from Voice of Wind - Adey blended with other libraries.

Voices Of Wind: Adey is the first volume in our modular female solo vocal series Voices Of Wind. Each volume focuses on a new vocalist with a distinct creative style and comes complete with a full package of vital chromatic and melodic articulations that sound great and are easy and convenient to use in any music or video production project that comes your way. This edition focuses on the ethereal and soulfully nuanced mezzo-soprano voice of singer-songwriter Adey Bell. Her rich, nimble and dusky vocal character effortlessly fuses classical, pop, folk, blues, lounge and jazz vocal styles.

I am happy to announce the release of my 2nd original piano album! I consider the pieces included in this album to be my best compositions, recorded in 2013. The album has some tracks, which are not included in this set.

I hope you will enjoy them as much as I enjoyed playing them. Your support is very much appreciated as it brings me closer to achieving one of my dreams - to have a real acoustic grand piano. Thank you for your continuous appreciation of my music!
