Bärtsch’s career began at a very young age as a drummer and continued with the study of piano, philosophy and linguistics, later turning towards various body disciplines and oriental philosophies. This eclectic research is also expressed through his two musical projects, Ronin and Mobile, with which he has achieved international success. His music, which he defines as ‘Ritual Groove Music’, shows a strong affinity with organised spatial architectures and the principles of repetition and reduction, as well as complex rhythms. It is a distillation of the universal sound of cities and not of a national or stylistic tradition, and is continuously modified through superimpositions, directing the listener’s attention to minimal variations and phrasing.
