Closebye + Otracami
About This Event
Closebye and OTRACAMI share a bill at Alphaville, bringing figures from New York’s small-room improvised-music circuit to the venue. Closebye moves between free music and improvisation, treating tempo and silence as structural elements rather than transitions. OTRACAMI works in open-ended free improvisation and retools karaoke frameworks into flexible scores for live electronics and textural playing; both prioritize room awareness over spectacle.
