A short note before Friday

Sometimes it is enough to remember a simple thing: there are artists of the old school who do not chase attention. They work quietly, with care, year after year. Nikakoi and Natalie Beridze belong to this kind of truth. They move at their own pace and meet on one stage because it feels natural.

Nikakoi. Born in Tbilisi. One of the first Georgian electronic musicians whose work was released in Europe, giving his sound an early presence outside the country. Works with minimal electronics, long loops, and small everyday noises. Once said: 

I don’t like to explain music. It is simple enough.

Released small editions, disappeared for years, then returned as if nothing had happened. 

Natalie Beridze. Composer and vocalist. One of the first Georgian electronic artists whose work reached far beyond the country. Recorded in Europe, worked with theatre, taught, and remained a steady, recognisable figure in her field. She said:

I write things you can live through again.

What brings them together is attention to detail, to silence, to the space between sounds.
Love.
Love for music.
Love for children. 

Short facts:
— Nikakoi often builds tracks from everyday noises and old devices.
— Beridze first began making music on Nikakoi’s computer.
— Their live sets are quiet, slow.
— This is not about dancing, but about listening.
