Nik Bärtsch ist spezialisiert auf den von ihm sogenannten Zen-Funk, der sich "irgendwo zwischen Jazz und moderner Komposition, Progressive Pop, ritueller Musik und Groove Musik im allgemeinen" bewegt. In den Stücken, die er für seine Bands Ronin und Mobile schreibt, zieht der Schweizer Pianist Energie aus der Spannung zwischen minimalistischer, kompositorischer Präzision und der Freiheit versprechenden Improvisation.
Nick Bärtsch s'est spécialisé dans ce qu'il appelle le Funk Zen, situé "quelque part entre le jazz, la composition moderne, la pop progressive, la musique rituelle et le groove". Lorsqu'il écrit pour les groupes Ronin et Mobile, le pianiste suisse puise son énergie dans la tension entre la précision de la composition minimaliste et la promesse de liberté de l'improvisation.
Nick Bärtsch autodefinisce il suo stile “funk Zen”, e di esso dice che sia “in qualche luogo tra il jazz e la composizione contemporanea, con influenze del pop progressive, la musica rituale e la musica groove in generale”. Nei suoi brani per i gruppi Ronin e Mobile, il pianista svizzero si posiziona nella tensione tra la precisione della musica minimalista e la libertà permessa dall’improvvisazione.
