Maria on Closer:
“It is about a feeling, a dream-like feeling in motion, a feeling thaat we can not describe, a dream I’m sort of walking through. Emotions/dreams/feelings that sometimes you can just imagine, a dreamlike world where we walk through to get to the core of ourselves a bit more, even if things are completely undefined and blurry. While working on the music, there was this strong feeling – at times blurry and at times more defined; of getting, with every single note, closer and closer to the person I want to be: Free, curious and consequently aware, connected and closer to the people I love. There is so much noise in this world, I think being direct, gentle, light, open and connected is the key.”
Closer is a statement record in regards to Maria’s journey of self exploration, combined with a manifestation of her profound connection with music. It’s been rooted in as an indescribable feeling, one that compelled her to create this album. It’s meant to transcend both boundaries and traverse the spectrum of electronic music with light touches of jazz and experimental pop.
