William Close – a big fan of the HBO tv series Game of Thrones – was recently commissioned to rework the Game of Thrones theme song. According to William Close: “It is a perfect piece to perform on Earth Harp…I feel like it captures the epic power of the music and of the show.”

The arrangement by William Close and the Earth Harp Collective is played on the famed Earth Harp. Close also created a second version, performed on his “drum jacket”. The drum jacket – just like the Earth Harp – is one of the many instruments that Close created and regularly performs with.

WILLIAM CLOSE AND THE EARTH HARP

William Close is an installation artist, musician and visionary who has developed over one hundred new musical instruments including the famed Earth Harp. The body of The Earth Harp rests on the stage while the strings travel over the audience, extending up to 1000 ft. in length, and attach to the back of the venue, turning every space into an instrument.

WILLIAM CLOSE

William studied sculpture and sound design at the Art Institute of Chicago and his work explores the connection between architecture and music. Inspired by the Frank Lloyd Wright quote “architecture is frozen music”, Close creates musical installations that use the architecture as part of the instrument. The Earth Harp has been installed in some of the most iconic destinations in the world such as The Coliseum in Rome, The Kennedy Center and Lincoln Center in the US, The Seattle Space Needle, the temples of Vietnam, Grand Theater of Shanghai International Arts Festival, Brazil’s Theatro Municipal in São Paulo, The Dhow Harbour in Qatar, and major US festivals like Coachella, Bumbershoot, Burning Man and Lightning In A Bottle.

THE EARTH HARP COLLECTIVE

William is the Founder and Artistic Director of the Earth Harp Collective, an internationally renowned performance group that combines the creative forces of artists, musicians, dancers and aerialists.
