Join Sligo-based Austrian violinist, singer, yodeller and composer πͺππππ
ππ πΊπππππ for an intimate solo setup of ππππππ, ππππππ, πππππ and πππππ. Born out of solitary forest, seaside and mountain dwellings during lockdown, the album marks a return to the origins of Claudiaβs composing practices: a world of sound that she could create and retreat to entirely on her own. Never shy of crossing borders between genres, traditions and conventions, this πππππππππππππ πππ π ππ ππππ-ππππππππ πππππ ππππ ππππππππππππ ππππππππ tells of unfinished love stories, the yearning to be left alone, or diverse βwhat ifβ scenarios of re-crafting our lifestyles.
Claudia has produced two solo CDs: π¨ππππ πΊπππ π (2014) and π¨ππππ π΄πππππππ (2017). She was commissioned to write for the National Concert Hall in collaboration with Sounding the Feminists in 2019 and was awarded a Next Generation Bursary Award from the Irish Arts Council (2019).
