Active Child: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert

From a stunning room overlooking the San Gabriel Mountains in Pasadena, California, come the ethereal sounds of Active Child – the name for the music of Patrick Grossi

“I chose this space, as this is where I’ve written nearly every piece of music for my ‘Active Child’ project. My music and this house, this view, are completely intertwined,” says the musician.

The video comes courtesy of NPR Music’s Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing netizens performances from across the US and the world, in a stripped-down, intimate setting.

For his Tiny Desk (home) concert, Grossi layers his choral-styled voice on top of melodic harp and piano. Electronic beats propel selections from his latest album, ‘In Another Life’, as well as one of his earliest and well-known songs, “Hanging On”.
