About

“Yet how strange a thing is the beauty of music!

The brief beauty that the player brings into being transforms a given period of time into pure continuance; it is certain never to be repeated; like the existence of dayflies and other such short-lived creatures, beauty is a perfect abstraction and creation of life itself.

Nothing is so similar to life as music.”

Yukio Mishima,
The Temple of the Golden Pavilion

Nicolas Bonadio is a Berlin-based multi-instrumentalist musician, composer and producer.

He has extensive experience as a touring musician, recording and producing various bands and working on TV, contemporary dance and Film.

He studied piano and composition in France from an early age, then started to record himself in his first home studio at 14 years old.

After graduating with diploma, Nicolas pursued to develop his own style more.
His vast panel of influences led him to discover and master multiple musical genres, including – and somewhere in between – art rock, avant garde, retro-futurist and neo classical music.

Nicolas creates unique sounds by experimenting, playing and using instruments, objects, or anything inspiring. He combines his recordings of real instruments with electronic sounds, mixing them in unusual ways to create unmistakable sound worlds, abusing his studio gear, and works in a complete hybrid fashion of analog and digital equipment.

Always searching for new musical inspiration by blending different sonorities, Nicolas is always looking for more collaborations.

He recently worked with different artists like Andrew Claristidge (Record Makers/Paris), Pyrame (ThisBe Recordings/Berlin), H.L.M (Ombra International, Milk Me/Berlin), Koudlam (Pan European Recording/Paris), Great White Shark, Le Chiffre, Couple Sympathique, Zukunft, Incredible Luck, Adrian Bang
