Nick Mariette is a PhD student in computing at University of New South Wales, Sydney Australia, researching location-aware spatial audio rendering systems and authoring tools. His research and development is applied in locative sound art works by sculptor and sound artist Nigel Helyer, including “Syren”, presented in March 2006 on Sydney Harbour, and in August 2004, at International Symposium of Electronic Arts, ISEA 2004, on the Baltic Sea.

Nick is also an experimental audio producer, field recordist and microphone builder. His production techniques utilise unusual methods of processing sound, often combining granular synthesis, ambisonics and other sound spatialisation, with algorithms such as flocking and physical modeling thrown in for extra flavour. He recently built an ambisonic microphone to record 3d sound fields, and has also built and uses binaural microphone sets. Nick produces radio works for “Sunday Night At The Movies” on Sydney’s largest community radio station, FBi. Other works include “Yellow Mondays”, a generative multichannel work that implemented “swarming, spatialised granular synthesis”, presented by Caos Sonoscope at LocAlgSon 2003 in the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona. Nick has also presented on a panel about science/art collaborations at ISEA 2004 and on panels, workshops and masterclasses at Electrofringe electronic arts festival in Newcastle, Australia in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
