Nicolas Peck is an American composer, keyboardist, sound designer, and audio director.

He has been continuously active since the early 1980’s, and has made a living as a sound designer/composer since the late 1990’s.

Many will know of his “Under the Big Tree” YouTube channel mostly dealing with electronic music but may also have heard his music without knowing it since he has been audio director of Disney Publishing Worldwide since 2012, where he has done hundreds of projects for iOS/Android, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and many Disney partners around the globe. He is currently focused on creating audiobooks and linear audio stories across the many franchises of Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Twentieth Century, National Geographic, and Lucasfilm.

Peck holds a BA in Psychology from UC Berkeley (1987), a BA in Electronic Music from San Francisco State University (1993), and an MFA in Electronic Music and Recording Media from Mills College (1998).

Primary music teachers included Pauline Oliveros, Maggi Payne, Chris Brown, Alvin Curran, and Herbert Bielawa.

His principle areas of study were experimental electronic music/musique concrete, modular analog synthesizers, analog hardware design, and computer music. He plays guitar, electric bass, Hammond organ, Fender Rhodes, and other electromechanical keyboard instruments + the Buchla Easel, the Kyma sound design system, Eurorack and Serge modular synthesizers.


"Modulisme," formerly "Early ElectroMIX," is a platform that aims to support original composing for analog modular systems but not only… A radio program airing music made using modular systems… Each program lasts one hour and is especially dedicated to one composer and features some exclusive music made for us.
