Artist to Artist: Claria Iannota + Cassandra Miller

Our Artist to Artist talk series invites musicians to take part in free, unmoderated discussions, discovering along the way the things that draw them together.
London-based composer Cassandra Miller builds on the history of notated music to create pieces that feel like they’ve been metamorphosed. Her pieces invite you to hear the raw material already out there, on her terms, ‘magnified and transfigured’. Outside of this rigorous approach to composing, Miller takes part in long-standing collaborations with a variety of musicians, including recently working with soprano Juliet Fraser and percussionist Charlemagne Palestine.
In this discussion, she’s joined by Clara Iannotta, whose work reimagines ensemble performance through heavy use of digital music and found sound. Her work embraces flux, with recent pieces including Dead Wasp In a Jam Jar III, an intense, constantly moving piece performed at hcmf// 2018.
