3 Commissions
Mira Calix
2004, 2008

Warp Records

Both of these CDs bring together three commissioned works by Mira Calix. On the first album, Nunu (RFH mix) was recorded at the Royal Festival Hall; Le Jardin de Barbican was installed at the re-opening of Barbican Art Gallery; Nunu (excerpt) was taken from a recording made at the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle Genève (all great concrete structures built when life was modern and buildings resonated with the sound of the future).

The second album features tracks from Elephant and Castle an opera commissioned by the Aldeburgh Festival, Dead Wedding commissioned by the Manchester International Festival and Opera North, as well as two movements from memoryofamoment created for an installation at Faster Than Sound.
