Closebye: Performing Group in New York

About Closebye

Closebye is a New York City–based group heard in the city’s small-room circuit, including sets at Alphaville. The project moves between free music and improvisation, treating tempo and silence as structural elements rather than transitions. They’ve shared bills with OTRACAMI, whose scene includes collaborators like Carlos Truly and Key Hutch, placing Closebye in a wider network of downtown experimental players. Their performances favor room awareness over spectacle, letting the space shape the set in real time.
