Originally conceived in the fall of 2023 and premiered this fall at The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, New York, "CLOSE TO THE EARTH" is a public workshop of musical material developed by Miller and Reid after dozens of hours of interviewing scientists, activists and other stakeholders.

Over the course of 2024, they crafted a piece of mixed media chamber music for cello, voice, piano and electronics that will explore different elements of Adirondack Park ecosystems - be it the ambient noise of birdsong and cicada, to the power effects of food-chain disruption - and how it is threatened by climate change.
