Straddling the worlds of sound design, academic historico-musicology, and electronic music has given Claire a unique perspective on sound manipulation and curation.
Claire has been showcasing composition work and DJing to audiences in Europe and North America for over 25 years. By combining influences from socially interesting cities into electronic work, the result is a varied and texturally rich interpretation of the world around us. Recently work has also been influenced by other alternative and leftfield producers to create an eclectic repertoire of both electronic and acoustic arrangements for installations, museums & multi-sensory projects.
Claire is able to weave a unique sonic aesthetic; blending edits, textures and cerebral with ease and fluidity.
Having been drawn to the historio-musicological and cultural importance of the legacies of Detroit and Chicago, her work is heavily influenced by the diversity of pioneering sounds reflected in their political and cultural roots.
Claire's production work is in collaboration with Andrew Byrne, and together, they are Magnetik Source: Defying genres through electronic music.
