A fascinating solo album from the Swiss pianist, composer and conceptualist best known as leader of the bands Ronin and Mobile, 'Entendre' offers deeper insight into Nik Brtch's musical thinking.

As the album title implies 'Entendre' is about hearing as a creative process, referencing the patient unfolding of Brtch'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.

Recorded at Auditorio Stelio Molo RSI, Lugano, in September 2020, and produced by Manfred Eicher.
