Nicholai Ramdass / Sound Engineer


f o r w a r d >

Greetings friends, colleagues, and random strangers...

Please excuse the lack of content right now. This website will be a showcase of the various creative projects I am working on or have recently completed.

I have made a decent career out of capturing clean, high quality location sound for film, corporate, sporting, and the worst of reality tv. I am also a freelance camera operator with experience in event video/ photography. My background in camera and lighting has shown to be an asset when working in the tighter (pro) two man crews.

I believe my greatest strengths is the ability to get along with others, listening and turning technical difficulties into creative opportunities, and just being an all around pleasant mate. I am able to provide gear and willing to travel. Looking for projects that push the boundaries.

Always looking to collaborate with other artists when I have time, so please email me if you would like to discuss a project.

WHEN I FIRST PUT ON SKATES

Saven...
like when I first put on skates
and realized that I could slide across the emptiness of this consumer culture

across the brains of the insane people
who think that life is learned in the class room
that life is lived watching real tv

when I first put on skates
and felt that adrenaline dance
time stopped
motion blured, athletic, aesthetic

when I first put on skates
and felt that pixie dust drip off my toes
while I floated over the ground if by magic

thats when I knew, that whatever we do
there's a wheel always spinning beneath us

A poem from the summer of 2004.
