Bright pads and sleepwalking arps form crystalline structures with a symmetry shaped by patience, not haste. By sifting through layers of air, heat, and deep time, this record’s digital field notes bloom in the mind’s softer places.
For Nico Georis, music is a lot like nature: you may actively confront it, or simply let yourself channel it. Music Belongs To The Universe threads the line between pastoral melody and desert minimalism. It rings out and warbles, crafting sounds as spacious as the landscapes from which it was conjured.
Recorded between 2021 and 2023, Music Belongs To The Universe is another step in Georis’ ongoing search for music as crystalline as the desert skies. That search began in 2020, when he moved to a remote town near Death Valley. There, he restored what became his studio, Granny’s Dancehall, and began communing with the elements—heard on 2023’s Cloud Suites and 2022’s Desert Mirror, which, together with Music Belongs To The Universe, form a triptych of desert meditations.
This album is, first and foremost, an exercise in sensitivity, in uncluttered perception. You hear it in the devoted, expectant warbling of “Geological Observations,” where airy arrangements tiptoe, sit back, and finally hover. It opens the way for a kind of music that feels more channeled than composed. As the keyboards soar unburdened above the looped soundscape of lead single “Who Knows The Path,” its title lingers as both a question and an invocation.
Yet for all its trance-like atmosphere, nothing here is accidental. Drawing on delay techniques Georis refined in his 2022 reinterpretation of Terry Riley’s A Rainbow in Curved Air, the melodies in Music Belongs To The Universe don’t just suffuse its ambient sounds. They emanate from long-hewn chord progressions.
Like a gymnopédie for the desert, these recordings flutter and unfold, sunbleached. Their arrangements—rapt and unobtrusive—attend to the massive world around them. As they cast off drama in favor of attunement, they remind us that sometimes, the most attentive kind of searching feels like letting go.
