Close to You (2021)
Video piece, written in collaboration with Allan Gravgaard Madsen
Close to You was created with social distancing.The creative process, rehearsals and recording were all made entirely through online sessions between the composers in Denmark and the ensemble in Germany.
Close to You explore the softest sounds of the instruments - even the musicians’ own skin - through extreme amplification.
Close to You will focus on movement in the first few minutes.Pay attention to the sounds, as they will appear from a perspective rarely experienced in the live music experience.
