About Nik Pascal Raicevic

Space Artist and Space Musician

In the early 1970s, artist Nik Pascal Raicevic (1933-1994) recorded and released five electronic music albums that are recognized today as innovative and influential examples of space music. Nik’s music was truly avant-garde—he was one of the first recording artists to utilize both Moog and ARP synthesizers. Working in this new technology, Nik’s first album covered many of the fundamental sounds and features of the synthesizer. In time, he grew artistically, challenging himself with each new release to create more complex and melodic sounds until his final album, Zero Gravity, released in 1975. Nik’s albums were complemented by the incredible futuristic artwork created by Nik himself at his gallery, Art In Space, in Hollywood. His first album, Numbers, was re-released by a major label, Buddah Records, in 1970, simply titled, Head. The final four albums were released by Nik’s own label, Narco Records. The offices were located on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. Art In Space was also located on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood.

Nik went by several names over the years, from Nicola to Nicolas to Nik. He was also known as Nik Pascal, Nik Raicevic, Pascal, Nico and 107-34-8933.
