Nicholas Fix

Nicholas Fix was born in Konstanz, Germany, in November 1980. At the age of four he was moved to begin education in the European School, Culham, in Oxfordshire. It was in this multi-lingual environment a slow-burning passion for language and communication tentatively began to emerge. Along with musical composition, and a fragmenting family, a corresponding written expressionism developed, with a great deal of emphasis on playing and experimenting. He is known to describe why he writes as “pure compulsion, something I have done since I was impatiently waiting for someone to teach me the alphabet.” With age he has cemented an authorial voice of his own, joining the playful experiments of his youth with an experienced fascination with technique and temperament, and the metric construction of sound and sense. Nicholas is intensely private, never having submitted any of his larger written works before, anywhere, for any purpose. For now he says “Output is important for me, quiet, considered output. Reviewing films is wonderful, because you have to watch them first. It’s a pleasure to be told a story.”
