Nicklas Mathews is a self-taight visual artist, VFX magician, and digital explorer. Specialised in audio-reactive real time effects, perfectly suited for concert visuals.

Curious by heart, his digital toolset spans a variety of software with TouchDesigner as the base for his work. He is best known for his self-built Touchdesigner components like the popular Frequency modulation and Signal rot.

His inspiration stems from a lifelong fascination, and appreciation, of analog media, most of his work aims to emulate retro aesthetics as authentic as possible. All the charm of the past with all the benefits of the present.

The name Decaying Sun has been a sublet to visualise his ideas, and the name underlines his main design philosophy: Beauty is born in the conflict, something significant arises when opposites collide.
