Born not far away from the geographic centre of Germany Nika Son headed up north at an early age and started to visit the Hamburg artschool. First active as a painter she finished her studies as a musician. Her change of the means of expression developed not only through but also with the fact that she studied with two outstanding characters of the local experimental music scene: Michaela Melián and Asmus Tietchens. Most important of all was her way from sculptural to sound-sculptural work which led to a love for manipulated field recordings, audio fragments, synthesizer sequences and radiowaves. This might be the reason that her exceptional output gives the impression of being painted by a sensitive, noisy brush and collaged with soft, sensory scissors. As a DJ she also runs two regular nights at the notorious Hamburg Golden Pudel club (Next Time & Noctuidae) and releases her music on her own label Noctui.
