Entendre (Spa) - Nik Bartsch (Vinyl)

Double vinyl LP pressing. A fascinating solo from the Swiss pianist, composer and conceptualist best known as leader of the bands Ronin and Mobile, Entendre offers deeper insight into Nik Bartch's musical thinking. As the album title implies Entendre is about hearing as a creative process, referencing the patient unfolding of Bartch's modular polymetric pieces, with alertness to the dynamics of touch, finding freedom in aesthetic restriction, serving each piece's development while also taking the music to new places.
