He studied the clarinet with his father, Donald Westlake (a prominent Australian musician \u0026amp; principal clarinetist with the Sydney Symphony orchestra 1961-1979) \u0026amp; subsequently left school early to pursue a performance career in music. Nigel toured Australia \u0026amp; the world playing with ballet companies, a circus troupe, chamber music groups, fusion bands \u0026amp; orchestras to the cities of London, New York, Rome, Washington, Tokyo, Beijing, Paris, Amsterdam, Vancouver, Moscow, Hong Kong, Berlin, New Delhi \u0026amp; Singapore to name but a few. His interest in composition dates from the late 1970's when he formed a classical\/jazz-rock\/world-music fusion band to play original music. During this time he started to receive offers to compose for radio \u0026amp; circus. Commissions for TV \u0026amp; film soon followed.","brand":"Steve Weiss Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43826967216182,"sku":"WES016B","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/3055\/1350\/files\/westlake-fabian-theory-m-digital-delay-os.jpg?v=1773490925","url":"https:\/\/www.steveweissmusic.mom\/products\/westlake-fabian-theory-m-digital-delay-os","provider":"Steve Weiss Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
