«On paper, Ronin is a standard quartet of reeds, keyboards, bass, and drums. What they play though is both unique and universal....what you hear is astonishingly funky and hip» – STAR-REVUE.com / George Grella

«One of the most uplifting concerts of the 2024 Big Ear festival was Nik Bärtsch’s Ronin. Bathed in stage smoke, Ronin seemed like high priests of minimalism and the mystic» – ECHOES.ORG / Jeff Towne

«My favorite set from the entire four-day event (Big Ears Festival 2024) – and probably one of my top shows ever – came Thursday evening with Nik Bärtsch’s Ronin» – SPIN MAGAZINE / Ryan Reed

With the zen-funk quartet RONIN founded in 2001, Nik Baertsch proceeds with the work on his RITUAL GROOVE MUSIC. Their music consistently follows the same aesthetic vision under various instrumental guises: creating the maximum effect by minimal means.They incorporate elements of disparate musical worlds, be they funk, new classical music or sounds from Japanese ritual music. Despite the multiplicity of the band’s influences, Ronin’s music always possesses a strong individuality.
