A graduate from the jazz course at Birmingham Conservatoire, keys man for Squarepusher and a leading figure in the Loop Collective, Nicholls returns to his acoustic piano roots for a fine album on which each track builds a piano solo with a background electronic sound and extracts from interviews with authors Ursula Le Guin and Anna Haraway. Recorded on a mobile phone, this plus some sound manipulation creates a woozy, atmospheric soundscape that's rather appealing.
