‘Nilch’i’ new album by Swartz et at Peaceful Internet Radio Station

A visit to the desert landscape of southern Utah inspired a body
of work that would become Swartz et’s recent full-length album,
Desert Meditations, and this new EP, Nilch’i. The title (pronounced
nih-lth chih) is the Navajo word for “wind.” It’s an important
presence in the Navajo culture and spirituality that represents the
coming and going of life as well as the nature of the soul itself.
Each piece was improvised with a small synth. But the music of
Nilch’i is lighter and airy compared to the weight and immensity of
the Desert Meditations album.
Nilch’i musically explores the spirit of wind in our lives. The giving
and taking that happens in cycles. The way people and moments
flow in, out and around our experience of living. The basking in the
breeze, the letting it go and the patience of waiting for the next.
