Good morning.

Today we’re listening to Nico Georis, an American keyboardist and composer from California. Now based in Death Valley, Georis has played keyboards across a range of genres including dub, jazz, and new age.

We’re starting with his 2022 record A Rainbow in Curved Air, whose titular track is a sprawling psychedelic reimagining of the classic Terry Riley piece. The album’s other three tracks also strum spiritual chords. Shirley Shirley Shirley from 2019 is a series of spare keyboard etudes. We very much enjoyed “Shirley’s Temple.” Georis describes the record as “plant music,” for which he actually connected vegetation to analog synths using MIDI.

Oh man, that original ARICA by Terry Riley is amazing. First heard it over 30 years ago on 'Hearts of Space.' Still incredible.
