Mathilde Grooss Viddal lager frilynt samtidsmusikk med mye fri improvisasjon og tøylesløse innslag der alle bandets deltagere er med i fremre rekke.

The second FriEnsemblet album, “Come Closer” was recorded live at Belleville 2007 by Jan Erik Kongshaug, and mixed in the wonderful “new” Rainbow Studio. Come Closer was released in 2009 – the title is from Karin Kølzows beautiful painting: «Come Closer: Meet the children of Palestine».

Come Closer remains our most free improvised recording featuring Britt Pernille Frøholm on Hardanger Fiddle and Tellef Kvifte on Laptop.

Fantastically good music that ranges over large spectres, from the free-flowing and intense to the lyrical and soothing.
