   About Nick Trepka
I'm a freelance producer/engineer and songwriter living in London. I was born in Linlithgow, raised in Bradford, lived in Edinburgh for a bit, and have blood from Poland and Yorkshire. I'm quite tall.

The songs on this page are my own compositions. I've been writing for about ten years now, and my work spans retro electronica through dance and experimental pop to one-man-and-a-guitar acoustic songwriting. I'm a seasoned singer and guitarist, having performed regularly as a solo artist, fronting a four-piece band and as a lead guitarist for several bands.

NT and the People Who Use Them
Govinder The Holy Ukulele
Nick Trepka (Acoustic)


My work as a producer / engineer includes modern and 'vintage' rock bands, traditional Iraqi music, swashbuckling modern folk, singer-songwriters and a delightfully politically incorrect country band. At the moment I'm mainly working at Fortress Studios, and at home. Below is a condensed discography of my productions for other artists and links to their websites.

Brother Francisco (Project 'Evil Deluxe', album in progress)
Uke Attack!! Uke Attack!! - Take Cover, 2009
Ground Dust - The Sun Creeps In EP, 2009
Miyagi - Dragonfly EP, 2005
Los Grecos - Demo, 2008
The Moulettes - Demo, 2008
The Babylon Arabic Band - Samra, 2005
Opalsky - Tiny Tales, 2008
Arse 2 Mouth - Your Sweet Scent EP, 2007
Anna Jarosz - Under My Sky, 2007
Lindsay West - Cramond Island, 2006


I've also worked as a guest lecturer in sound recording and installation techniques at Edinburgh College of Art, and as a sound designer and acoustic consultant for the following fine artists.

Katharine Fry - Home Suite (Artist's Website) (Time Out Review)
Leah Lovett - Street Theatre

Hello,

North Atlantic Oscillation's "Hollywood Has Ended", from the forthcoming album Grappling Hooks, is featured in this month's Police Box compilation from TenTracks. It's here:

http://www.tentracks.co.uk/channel/the-police-box/the-police-box-april-09

In case you haven't heard, TenTracks is a new music delivery service where you can buy exclusive 10-track compilations for £1, i.e. a mere 10p per track.

This month NAO are in the illustrious company of the excellent Found, Orkestra Del Sol, Fence Collective luminaries James Yorkston and King Creosote and exactly 5 others. Once again, that's £1 for ALL TEN TRACKS. Not bad, really.

Thanks for the comment. You know I just went out to buy a 1000 pack of plastic drinking cups. I placed them in a row right next to ech other and then lit them on fire. They quite rather nicely and it was a splendid display.
