Nicholas G. Brown (GB, 1974) is an artist-composer and writer. His recent works investigate the philosophy and psychology of music using various forms of expression from performance theatre to handmade books.

As a writer, he has published articles on the philosophy of music, particularly theories of music & embodiment, and given talks and lectures on the value of artistic expression in the context of daily life.

Recent works include As I Have Now Memoyre (2008), a performance-installation that examines the relationship between singing and memory; The Soul Finds Rest in Unity (2007), a domestic installation that looks at the role of music-making in the the context of everyday life; Five Actions for a Violinist (2007), a video work that harnesses the mechanics of videography to construct a theory of music in terms of physical action; and An Audience with the Trees (2005), an installation for a woodland environment that reworks eighteenth century aesthetics of imitation.
