Lucy Claire is a remarkable composer, whose music fuses classical, cinematic and world influences. Her bittersweet piano motifs and melancholy string melodies, loaded with atmospheric soundscapes, have been compared to music by composers such as Nils Frahm and Johann Johannsson as well as prog-rock artists like Mogwai. Originally from Sunderland, she is now based in London after moving there to study at The Royal College of Music. She is perhaps best known for her Collaboration EP series which has seen her work with artists such as Alev Lenz and Yuri Kono, where intricate thought-provoking vocal melodies are combined with her wistful spectral, piano and string based sound. 2018 has been a busy year for Lucy which has seen the release of 2 EP’s, String Works and Piano Works from a series on Swedish label 1631 Recordings. Including collaborations with The Iskra String Quartet (Olafur Arnalds, Johann Johannsson and The XX) and Ren Ford (Keaton Henson’s Romantic Works) tracks have been played on BBC Radio 3’s series Unclassified and the Weekend Breakfast show. The third installment from the series in due in the Autumn and will be titled Scape Works.
