Nico Schipper is a Berlin-based artist that records under the name, Nicorola. His music is released by the netlabel, 1Bit Wonder. Nicorola makes a living doing media design and graphics, but he has been doing music since he was 15, beginning with keyboard and guitar and eventually adding an electronic component. He began with simple sound editors and sequencers, later he came to work with software such as Rebirth and Reason. The song, Hijseenpipo appears on Bitstick E.P. (1Bit003), an e.p. that was released April 1, 2005.
From 1Bit Wonder’s description:
“Nicorola’s debut on 1bit wonder is a selection of songs produced over the last three years. And we say “songs” because that’s what they are: Although being exclusively electronic his approach to music is totally independent from the necessities of the dancefloor. That’s the reason why “tracks” wouldn’t fit for his works - they are more like soundtrack pieces to an imaginary movie in your head. Lean back and let the journey begin…”
Nicorola released another e.p. on 1Bit in April of this year called, Capital Bits. He rarely performs live with the exception of the occasional dance performance.
I love Hijseenpipo. I discovered it early in my travels along the Creative Commons musical path. It is a magical song that can really get into your head and become one of those pieces that provide a soundtrack for a day in the life.
