Today we release the vinyl edition of the fascinating new solo recording from the Swiss pianist, composer
and conceptualist Nik Bärtsch, best known as leader of the bands Ronin and Mobile. Entendre offers deeper insight into his musical thinking. As the title implies, Entendre is about hearing as a creative process, referencing the patient unfolding of Bärtch’s modular polymetric pieces, with alertness to the dynamics of touch, finding freedom in aesthetic restriction, serving the flow of each piece’s development while also taking the music to new places.
