Kourosh Eusebio at Nitida Ridge







For me 3 AM (5 o’clock in the afternoon european time) is the time for listening to Kourosh Eusebio at Nitida Ridge. Nitida Ridge is run by Bree Birke and makes wonderful surroundings for the dreamy, meditative music of Kourosh. I am not the only one having that time as a weekly landmark. There is always a lot of people there, and I recognize and say hello to a lot of regular fans week after week.
Kourosh says on his webpage about music: ”Music is the channeling of a form of Nature. A musician attempts to create a certain abstract space. Within and of that space, there is Nature.” When you listen to this music it is easy to understand what he is talking about.
His instruments are piano and synthesizer, and his compositions are dreamy, poetic, often building up to a powerful crescendo. Always with new improvisations. He plays covers too. This Saturday he played George Harrison’s “Here comes the sun”. It is a beautiful song and in Kourosh’s hands it becomes even more so. He ended the gig playing “Twinkle, twinkle little star”. Wonderful and very original.
Kourosh Eusebio is in a league of his own in Second life music.
