I've worked closely since high school with my cousin Steven Rico* writing music for his short films, commercials, and fashion videos. He encouraged me to write a song to his edit of a fashion commercial for Marella ft Miranda Kerr. This is the result! It was accepted into the Milan Film Festival last year! Watch it here:

Lyrics

Magnetic skin on mine feels right
A stolen breath
A flicker in the night

You are lost
Then you are found
Rinse & repeat
A fantasy unspoken 'til the cycle's broke
Or luster's worn down to bone

It's all that you need
It's all that you see

Lyrics

The blades of grass are sharp today
But who’s the ghost child sipping on stale souls & lemonade

Old & cold
These rituals take hold
I need a way out
Rituals (cold rituals)
I need a way out

Takes control of me
Like life is the dancer
And I am the dance

Old & cold
These rituals take hold
I need a way out
Rituals (cold rituals)
I need a way out

Nik Olas - Cold Rituals

Song composed & produced by yours truly for a Zara Campaign ad in 2018. The lyrics came from a free writing session I did write after rewatching Dead Poets Society, such a powerful movie. Enjoy!

Nik Olas - 3s 3s 3s

Me messing around with a name generator and logic pro haha

I'm Missing (Single)

Nik Olas - I'm Missing

Theme song written for my dearest cousin Megan Rico's film project "Alpha", a Glam Rock Werewolf Musical! It was a lot of fun to write it in that 80s glam rock style.

Nik Olas - Alpha (Glam Rock Werewolf Musical)

Written for my dearest cousin Megan Rico's film "Alpha", a glam rock werewolf musical! This track was used for a night time ballad scene right before the protagonist gets attacked by a werewolf, lol.

Nik Olas - Dearest Moonlight (Glam Rock Werewolf Musical)

Minimal jazzy chill hop experimentation with guitar and other sounds.

Nik Olas - Orange Sundae

This song was created for a Music Tech Lab project in college. I sampled a marimba & piano concert and created a soundscape that painted a picture of some lost island at the center of the Bermuda triangle that has accumulated all these old crashed planes and cruise ships. It was a fun experiment & there are some interesting sounds and textures in here.

Nik Olas - Isle At The Center Of The Bermuda Triangle

I experimented with horrifying noises over some dark chords one year around Halloween. I stuffed my phone's mic in my mouth and recorded a bunch of growling and guttural noises, then added distortion and reversed the sound clips.
