Close to You (2020)

Close to You investigates how music can not only reach an audience – but also touch and move them from a distance.

Close to You is an artistic research project and collection of unique and physically engaging music experiences with ensemble recherche and composers Morten Riis and Allan Gravgaard Madsen.

Technical support by Sebastián Zuleta (audio) and Merlin Blumenschein (video).
