Nicholas Morrish is a composer-electronic musician based in Berlin, working across recorded, installed, collaborative performance and multimedia contexts.

⇥ His solo electronic practice focuses on the creation of entirely synthetic sound worlds, exploring synthesis as a means of dissolving the thresholds between what is perceived of as an organic or artificial sounding body. In 2025, Nick is an electronic music nominee at Forecast 10 (with mentorship from Ata Ebtekar), and is an invited artist at the Elektronmusikstudion (EMS), Stockholm.

⇥ Alongside this, Nick collaborates widely across ensemble (electroacoustic) performance, instrumental music theatre, multimedia installation, and film. His concert work has been commissioned and performed internationally by leading musicians and institutions, including the London Symphony Orchestra, International Contemporary Ensemble/LA Phil, Ensemble Intercontemporain, and Münchener Kammerorchester. Notable distinctions include the Mendelssohn Scholarship (2018–2020), a Gaudeamus Award nomination (2019), and the Royal Philharmonic Society Composition Prize (2014). 

⇥ Ongoing collaborations—such as with the director/dramaturg Anselm Dalferth—have led to instrumental music theatre commissions from the Beethoven Orchester Bonn, Musikverein Wien, and Deutsche Oper am Rhein. Their work on ‘Die Erde über mir’, with the MKO+Schauburg, led to a nomination in the ‘Production Theater for young audiences’ category at the ‘Faust Prize 2024’, with the piece being described as an ‘outstanding cross-genre musik theater production’. Installations have been presented at major international showcases across Europe and Asia, sporadically in partnership with groups including phase7 performing.arts, Kling Klang Klong, and Das Dur. 

⇥ A Fellow at Harvard University’s Music Department (2018–2019), Nick holds a doctorate from the Royal College of Music (2020) and previously studied at the University of Oxford and Trinity Laban. He has lectured and presented at academic institutions throughout Europe and the US and was a member of the professorial staff at Trinity Laban (2017–2018). 

⇥ Current projects include an album-length solo studio release (2025), alongside new multimedia and performance works developed from his studio in East Berlin.
