Claire M Singer, originally from Aberdeenshire, Scotland graduated in
2005 with a BMus specialising in 'cello performance and electroacoustic composition. Prolonging her studies she is currently in the final year of her Masters degree in electroacoustic composition.
Claire has written a collection of works, some strictly studio based and others including the interaction of live electronics. In 2005 her work The Final Journey written for the New Noise ensemble (oboe, percussion, live electronics and tape) was selected for the SPNM Promoting New Music concert in London. In 2006 she wrote an Organ and electronics work for Scotland's Sound Festival which is due to be released and toured later this year.
Alongside Claire's compositional work she is also involved in 'cello and electronic improvisational work as well as working with dancers and various contemporary music groups in London, most recently performing with Marina Rosenfeld's Sheer Frost Orchestra at the Tate Modern London and working with the Her noise project on Sonic Youth artist Kim Gordon's Reverse Karaoke at the South London Gallery.

Etre Fluide
Etre Fluide is a journey through many different textural sounds. The piece is based around how these textures interact and evolve around one another almost becoming one single sound. The title describes the movement of the piece as opposed to what it's about, as i prefer not to create a picture in the listeners mind. It is far more intersting to let you come to your own interpretation rather than make you think of one set idea.

The Final Journey
(Live recording with New Noise May 2005). The final Journey depicts the final journey of life, scored for Oboe, Percussion and Tape plus live electronics through MaxMsp. The work is arranged in three sections in which different textures evolve and develop. Between the Oboe, Percussion (cymbal and vibraphone) and Tape, a large intense mass of sound is gradually formed, creating a desperate need for release. The Final Journey is deddicated to Peter Forsyth (1922-2005). I have included a separate recording of the tape part for a better idea of how the textures evolve in a live mix.
