Claudia Molitor

Claudia Molitor is a composer, artist and performer whose work draws on traditions of music and sound art but also extends to video, performance and fine art practices.

Some larger-scale work include “Sonorama”, an episodic work for a train journey, in collaboration with Electra Productions, Turner Contemporary and the British Library (British Composer Award 2016); “Vast White Stillness”, a performance installation and collaboration with director Dan Ayling, for Spitalfields Music and Brighton Festival; “The Singing Bridge”, installed at Somerset House and Waterloo Bridge during the Totally Thames festival in 2016; “Walking with Partch” for the Cologne-based ensemble Musikfabrik at hcmf//; “Auricularis Superior”, a headphone piece presented at the World Music Days in Tallinn in 2019; and the ever-evolving work “Decay” in collaboration with composer and improviser Tullis Rennie, exhibited around Europe and the US. Molitor’s album of songs titled “Have you Ever” has been released on nonclassical.

She is co-founder/director of multi.modal records and a lecturer at City, University of London.
