Sonic Hz has been played on NTS shows including TeamSESH, with Message From Splinter first played on 15 May 2020.

Based in Moncton, New Brunswick, Sonic Hz is the brainchild of Canadian Italo-Disco/Retro Electro artist Nicholas Karl McNally. The process of McNally merging into his now alter ego began haphazardly, with the spontaneous purchase of legendary digital FM synthesizer, the YAMAHA DX7, in 2015. From a very young age, Nicholas had always possessed a passion for home recording, experimenting with various genres and instruments, as well as working with many different musicians from the local music scene. It is in becoming Sonic Hz, however, that he found his niche of 80s inspired electronic music, taking cues from giants like Jan Hammer, Harold Faltermeyer, Tangerine Dream[/artiost], as well as more modern artists such as Lost Years, Betamaxx, and Mitch Murder. He’s since expanded his synthesizer collection to allow for a broader soundscape of quintessentially “synthwavy” pads, leads, beeps, bops, bells and things you just have to hear to believe.

No matter which project he’s taking part in, Nicholas always brings his self taught, self made approach to the table. With vision, patience, persistence and a little McGuivering here and there, he always finds a way to bring his ideas to life.
