Nik Bärtsch - Modul 15 (Switzerland, 2015)

Nik Bärtsch is a Swiss pianist, composer, bandleader, record producer, and author based in Zurich. Repetition and change are central themes in Nik Bärtsch's music and performance practice. His work is an intersection of contemporary music, jazz, and funk influences. The use of repetition, as well as the structures based on intertwining elements in his music, suggests the influence of minimalist music, particularly that of Steve Reich. Bärtsch is influenced by Eastern philosophy and James Brown. He has also shown a keen interest in the works of American composers John Cage and Morton Feldman. Fascinated by Japanese Zen culture, his musical attitude is influenced, among other things, by his interest in the Japanese martial art (Aikido) and Zen.
