Alex Coldrick-Ford has been working under the name Nyquist since 2001, initially as a producer working with guest singers, and then as a solo singer/songwriter. Nyquist’s music combines synths, guitars and drum loops to create a sound reminiscent of Joy Division remixed by Massive Attack with a dose of My Bloody Valentine. 2011 saw the first ever Nyquist live dates, with Alex singing and playing guitar over programmed backing tracks.
