In 1993, Mike Nock recorded one of his most iconic solo albums, Touch in the Eugene Goosens Hall at the ABC studios in Ultimo, Sydney.
30 years on from his last solo album, Mike has returned to same hall for his newest release, Hearing. Through its 13 tracks, this album showcases Mike's musical artistry as both a pianist and composer, featuring a range of his own compositions, improvisations and some tunes from some other of his favourite musicians including Bryce Rohde and Jonathan Zwartz.
Sat where he's most at home, in front of the piano, Mike chats to Andrew Ford about the moods and colours that he is still able to evoke from the piano keys. In between some spontaneous improvisations throughout the interview, Mike reflects on the making of Hearing, the various emotional threads that tie the tracks together and tributes to friends, family and collaborators old and new.
