Chris NylstochComposer / Movie Director / Author(b) 11 JAN 1979 , Parramatta NSWNil Stock is a retailer / wholesaler term denoting a product that has ‘sold out’.Economics has been an ongoing area of interest for the composer, who spent his early childhood in a (government) Housing Project in downtown Sydney. Nylstoch has many fond memories of this time, including browsing second hand record shops, libraries and squatted burnt-down factories.Nylstoch started playing the guitar at the age of 6 months assisted by his mother, Cindy (poet and visual artist) and took up keyboard improvisation at 3, receiving his first piano at the age of 6. He began making multi-track analogue tape recordings at the age of 8 using experimental techniques such as the use of headphones as a microphone and pioneering‘Spacio-locational Time-Loops’Education, Training, Qualifications, Volunteering & EmploymentMost of the schooling records have been deleted and lost for strategic reasons, but we can safely say that he attended the Woollahra OC program ‘89, the Sydney Conservatorium in ’95 (intervals) Emergency Relief Training & Placement in Melbourne ‘04.Nylstoch first worked as a market-stall holder at 8, newspaper delivery boy when he was 10, concrete paving factory at 14, warehousing at 16, first successfully returned bank loans (with guarantors) at 17 which financed the first his music releases on CD in ’96. He has also worked as a lab-assistant in food tech, made cochlear implants and has been a director of the MHFA (vic)In his spare time Nylstoch likes to work. He also enjoys researches into sustainable industries, cognitive neuroscience, history, comparative culture and ISO 639 macrolanguage.MAJOR WORKS(MUSIC) ‘94-09 Providential Realism Extractor – 10,000+ recorded audio titles(VIDEO) ‘97-09 Rituals of the Captured Moments - 1000 short movies about music(BOOK) ‘99-09 Aesthetics & Cognition – 30,000+ pgs of Raw Data as a micro-summary(SCORE) ‘94-09 156 Works for small ensembles(INSTALLATION) The Arc & The Hives ( 3 cubic metres of support material)For a detailed list of works, ongoing associations & public performances visit www.ventinggallery.com)QUOD INCEPIMUS CONFICIEMUS CURRENT TO 1 JUL 09PUBLIC PERFORMANCESMar 09 Audiopollen Festival 09 w/ XXXX & SSS
