JAKARTA - In the midst of the booms of the national music industry which has recently been often colored by massive stages, Nadin Amizah chose the contrasting route.

Like the promise, without completely leaving the hustle and bustle, the singer 'Bertaut' deliberately created a more intimate and mini-scale showroom to offer listeners a closer, deeper, and personal musical experience.

This effort was realized through a showcase titled Nadin Amizah & Her Small Space, which was just held on Wednesday, October 22 the day after tomorrow.

This moment, for Nadin, is a return journey to a space he considers a true 'home' a place that feels specially designed, where he grows, and becomes the foundation of his entire musical journey.

Constraints on the scale of events are not without reason. Nadin admits that building such a small space' is a challenge in itself.

"I have often held events that are attended by 100-300 people. Today is for Nadin Amizah & her Small Space. Small spaces are not easy to build, but this is what I mean," said Nadin in his statement, Friday, October 24.

The show opened with a Hormat Kepada Angin' performance accompanied by a single piano. That night, Nadin was seen completely mastering the moments and spaces he created.

He performed a total of 17 songs that summarize various phases and eras of his discography. Not only that, Nadin also neatly organizes the emotional flow he presents, even collaborating with the two musicians he idolizes, Kunto Aji and Panji Sakti.

The decision to hold a small-scale performance is not merely a matter of stage technicality. Nadin explained that the essence of the event lies in the closeness that is established.

"This is what I mean from the small space. The space that provides the opportunity to pay attention to one face by one is closer to them, as well as the exploration of vocals that I rarely get when I'm on a stage where there are more viewers," he said.

Through his little space', Nadin Amizah seems to reiterated that the value of a work does not lie in how big the stage is or how magnificent the arrangement is, but it is the work itself that speaks.
