The work on Close to You began today.
In the project a team consisting of ensemble recherche, co-composer Morten Riis and yours truly will meticulously explore the musical and sonic potential of the physical audio phenomenon Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) in a collection of unique and physically engaging music experiences created directly for and on an online and digital platform.
From today and until Sunday, the first of three artistic research sessions will take place online with ensemble recherche and technical team of Sebastián Zuleta (audio) and Merlin Blumenschein (video) in Freiburg and Morten Riis and I located in Denmark.
I’m looking very much forward to explore sounds and material for the final series of works, which will premiere online later this year.
Thank you to Foreningen 458, Kulturstiftung des bundes, Augustinus Fonden, Danish Composers’ Society / KODA Culture and the Danish Arts Foundation for making this project possible.
