Musical composition
Claudia Jane Scroccaro (1984, Italy) is an Italian composer based in Paris, where she teaches electronic music at Ircam. She seeks to achieve coherence between instrumental and electronic writing, structured through personal computer-assisted composition tools. Her music oscillates between two extreme temporalities, alternating between overflowing, compulsive rhythms and immersive, introspective explorations, interwoven with the expressiveness of the spoken voice.
Her residency project is devoted to the composition of Faro, following the unique directions initiated by the poet Amelia Rosselli (Paris 1930 – Rome 1996), a cycle for soprano, ensemble and electronics, which seeks to represent her literary and intellectual work in a more global way. The project thus focuses on the essential mechanisms already at the heart of her work: the links between speech and music. The project sees an international co-production between soprano Johanna Vargas, the Musikfabrik ensemble, the Fondation Royaumont, the Fondation Pierre Boulez and Ircam, scheduled to premiere as part of its Festival ManiFeste in 2025.
Each year, the French Academy in Rome - Villa Medici organizes an international competition to select fellows who will be welcomed at the Villa Medici in Rome for a 12-month residency in creation, experimentation and research (residency begins in September, ends in August).
