Claudia Jane Scroccaro

Claudia Jane Scroccaro (1984, ltaly) is an Italian composer based in Paris, where she teaches electronic music at lrcam. She seeks to achieve a coherent combination of instrumental and electronic writing structured through personal computer‑assisted composition tools. Her music fluctuates between two extreme temporalities expressed through an alternation between unbridled, 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 comprehensive way. The project therefore focuses on the essential mechanisms that are already at the heart of her work: the links between speech and music. The project envisages an international co‑production between the soprano Johanna Vargas, the Musikfabrik ensemble, the Fondation Royaumont, the Fondation Pierre Boulez, and lrcam, and is expected to be premiered in Ircam’s ManiFeste Festival in 2025.
