Scompare all’età di 52 anni Chantal Francesca Passamonte nota artisticamente con il nome di Mira Calix. Nata in Sudafrica, viveva da tempo nel Suffolk con il marito Sean Booth degli Autechre. Sperimentazione elettronica, compositrice, produttrice, DJ, visual artist, la Calix è stata un vulcano inesauribile ad esaltare una multidisciplinarietà rara negli ambienti artistici. La notizia è stata data dalla Warp Records. Le cause dell’improvvisa morte non si conoscono. Il suo ultimo album ‘absent origin’ era uscito nel 2021. “In addition to her musical endeavours, Passamonte worked on filmography projects and art installations. Likewise, she viewed sound as sculptural material, and had audio, visual and multi-channel artwork commissioned by a number of reputable arts organizations, including the Barbican, the Lincoln Center, Latitude Festival, Shakespeare’s Globe and the London Olympics”.

I’m devastated to hear of the passing of wonderful #miracalix She was a brilliant composer who often sent me supportive and thoughtful messages. We shared a lot of views as both musicians and campaigners for the rights of migrants. My thoughts are with her family and friends.
