"The Art Of Sound is the sound of one man..... who strives to put melody back in the forefront of songs without words. Gentle, mellow rhythmic lines that interwine with soulful melodies.. you find yourself humming hours later..."

The Art Of Sound was originally formed back in England in the mid 70's as a group of people who wanted to promote the use of synthesizers in both modern and classical music. Later on the group split up and went their separate ways but one founder member, Nigel Sixsmith, carried on working, under the name "The Art Of Sound", writing and performing music for the Synthesizer for over 30 years..

Currently, Nigel is working almost exclusively with the new Korg Oasys, writing and performing music using this unique and incredible keyboard.

This webpage has been set up for him to share some of the many songs he has written using this new tool.. in the hope that others will find as much enjoyment listening to his music as he has making it..
Why this name?
It was 'given' to me many years ago by some close friends of mine..
Do you play live?
Not since the late 90's when I moved over the pond to the USA.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The Internet allows musicians to express themselves and reach out "beyond their own secret world" to touch the minds and souls of other people throughout the world..
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes.
Band History:
I only look forwards.. never back :)
Your influences?
Many influences but I suppose the main ones are David Sancious, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Chris Issac and The Edge..
Favorite spot?
London.. where else?
Equipment used:
Oasys, Triton, Karma, Kurzweil 2500RS, Akai DPS24, Supernova, Virus KC, Minimoog, JD800, JD990 and many other keyboards/racks here and there.. I don't use Sequencers.. Everything is played live :)
