S2 Ep3: Mira Calix


Listen Later

This episode was recorded in  October 2021 before the untimely passing of Morley Radio's close friend and highly respected artist Mira Calix. 

Mira Calix was a multi award winning artist and composer signed to Warp Records, where she released her latest LP (absent origin) on November 5th, 2021.
 
Mira was known for producing predominantly electronic music, but over the past two decades incorporated classical music, recently doing a remix of John Cage. Recently incorporated performance and multidisciplinary art, Mira considered sound a sculptural material.

In 2003 she collaborated with the London Sinfonietta, and Nunu premiered at the Royal Festival Hall and has gone on to create music for film, theatre and other performances for the Royal Shakespeare Company, Manchester International Festival, Sydney Festival, The Royal Northern Sinfonia and more.
 
The albums she created are all titled in lower case as a rejection of Capitalism, and in this interview Matt not only discussed her work as an activist and protester, which again like with Russell in the previous episode is a hot topic for our Foundation students who are looking at art as  protest.
