Nobles was born in Surrey, British Columbia, and grew up in Edmonton and Beaverlodge, Alberta; and Kelowna and Vancouver, British Columbia.[citation needed] He studied at Grant MacEwan University (1988–1991) and Simon Fraser University.[citation needed]
Nobles is a founding artistic director of Vancouver's Redshift Music Society,[2][3] an organization founded in 2001 which commissions and premieres new works by Canadian and international composers, and of Redshift Records, the recording division of Redshift Music, which released its first CD in 2007 and now has approximately 40 releases, focussing on contemporary music.[4]
In addition to winning the 2017 Juno for Classical Composition of the Year,[1] Nobles won the SOCAN Jan V. Matejcek New Classical Music Award in 2017,[5] the 2017 Western Canadian Music Award for Classical Composition of the Year,[6] and the 2017 Barbara Pentland Award of Excellence from the Canadian Music Centre.
Nobles' music is spatial and immersive, with the musicians surrounding the audience.[7] It is often composed to be performed in atypical locations including an underground concrete bunker,[8][9] atriums, rotundas, a swimming pool,[10][11] the Vancouver Public Library building[12][13][14][15][16] and other large open reverberant spaces.
