Nico Georis is a keyboard player, producer & songwriter from California. He produces music from his studio at Granny's Dancehall in a ghost town near Death Valley. His music, a unique amalgamation of global influences, presents an imposing total aesthetic that is all his own - at once bracingly psychedelic and achingly nostalgic.

Since childhood, Georis has always straddled (or, rather, negotiated) multiple dimensions, flitted between the rigors of classical training and DIY experimentation—studying under a disciple of Franz Lizst (a mentorship that would enshrine the piano as his primary instrument), then squirreling away to the basement of his childhood home, strewn as it was with his father’s instruments and home-audio equipment, to play and record freely.

Despite his evident virtuosity as a trained pianist, Georis has, across numerous chapters, persisted in his renegade and exploratory approach to music. He has dedicated his talents to songcraft, broadly-defined — channeling unseen (or inaugurating altogether new) worlds that morph seamlessly across genres.

His notable original music releases to date include:

(2018) Plant Music Vol. 1 - “Shirley Shirley Shirley!”
An otherworldly document of his experiments in plant music, using midi technology to connect a variety of flora to analog synthesizers, letting their biodata create music that is strange and breathtaking. "A most magical and enthralling musical piece, a hypnotizing and dreamy indulgence for both the ears and the mind as well. Shirley Shirley Shirley! is one of the most interesting albums I've ever heard..." -sputnikmusic.com

(2022) Desert Mirror
"...a steamboat floating in the clouds from the echoes of thunder..." -Waltz Tokyo, Japan.
"...psychedelic soul piano tunes, celestial music..." -MatthewDavid, Leaving Records
