HEARING THINGS  with Nicolette Boaz

Composer / sound designer for documentaries, features, jingles, theatre, corporate productions.

HEARING THINGS is an Australian music production business specializing in creating music for documentary, feature film, jingles for television and radio, corporate video, song and theatre show.

HEARING THINGS producer, Nicolette Boaz, is a Sydney based composer who will create a parallel sound for your image. Her sound designs are often surprising but they are always rich and fit like a glove. Her compositions are unique and tailor made. Her musical journey has taken her from formal training at University to a unique reputation in the music business.

A composer needs to fully empathise with the director's requirements, and this means reading beyond the obvious and moving into the sub-text. This is Nicolette's forte. She grew up in her own world of dreaming, an isolated silent existence, broken only by the warm strains of a piano which she began to learn when she was just four. It has been the love of her life ever since. Now with a wealth of experience working with music from round the world from indigenous Australian sounds, to a love of the cool and funky, to the simple, to classical and jazz, with or without the spoken word, her composition always speaks with the sharpest ear.

Nicolette Boaz - composer, sound designer, accompanist, and performer: seeks aural experience in the same way others seek excitement. Her compositions offer the most fabulous array of opportunities along with 100 piece orchestras, the tight phhht of drums, children's laughter, the crackle of radio static, dry silence, the insistence of light pop, the curious, the comedy of bag-pipes, the vomit inducing screeeeech of polystyrene or, the warmth and beauty of wooden instruments - These are all her inspiration.
