This piece kind of destroyed me … I’ve lived inside it for such a long time. Coming soon at the Donaueschinger Musiktage in October. by @claranoise

At the beginning,
when I was asked to write a violin concerto,
I said no.

I said:
“I have nothing to say with violin.”

Carolin Widmann called me anyway.

She said beautiful things.
“Dangerous” things.
Things composers want to hear.

I said:
“I think I will fail.”
She said:
“Then let’s fail together.”

Which honestly became
a surprisingly accurate description
of the whole story …

But somehow,
through cancellations,
silence,
and way too many emotions,
the piece survived.

And now the ensemble version exists.

Konzerthaus Vienna.

You can listen to it online.

For more than 10 years, whenever I work with electronics, I work with Chris Swithinbank. I usually come to him with a very specific problem, and we build new tools around whatever I need for a piece.

One thing I often need is to understand the frequency content of sounds I’ve recorded, so that I can recompose them, transform them, orchestrate them, or use them as a starting point for new material. I used to do this with different softwares, but the process could be incredibly slow. So this year I asked Chris if we could find a way to make it faster, and he built this Max patch for me.

It analyses and resynthesizes my sound files, live-tracks their frequency content, and gives me different ways of filtering, navigating and visualising what is happening inside the sound. In this video I’m showing just a few of its features.

A huge thanks to Chris for always understanding what I need and turning it into something I can actually work with, and a shout-out to Daniele Ghisi and Andrea Agostini, whose Bach library for Max made it possible for us to visualise all of this so clearly. by @claranoise

Summer drop.

Catania, Aix-en-Provence, Montaldeo, Bressanone, Roma, Berlin.

One of the most beautiful, challenging, and exhausting summers of my life. Absurd pieces, impossible deadlines (still not finished), and extreme heat that sent me to the hospital 3 times, twice as a patient, once as a visitor (don’t ask).

I met incredible young composers and musicians, we built a wonderful community, shared so much, and I feel like I learned a lot from them.

I still hate mosquitoes (they love me, though) but overall, this summer was just exhaustingly great 💙 by @claranoise

Getting back into Clara Iannotta’s idiosyncratic sound world towards the final concert of the year coming up in Munich at the Musica Viva series. Till then, a short recap from my studio performance of Clara’s electric guitar solo which is back in rotation for the 2026 concert season. Full performance availble in biolink. #contemporarymusic #sologuitar #freezepedal #sustainerpickup by @claranoise

@festivaldautomne à Paris - Clara Iannotta

Samedi 16 novembre à 20h
Auditorium - @maisondelaradioetdelamusique

À la fin des années 2010, après de longs traitements, Clara Iannotta éprouva un sentiment d’errance, d’abandon, dans de « vastes cieux vides », comme l’écrit le poème Mon cœur vit dans ma poitrine de Dorothy Molloy, dont s’inspire strange bird – no longer navigating by a star. « Je ne savais pas qui j’étais. Qu’était devenue ma musique ? » La perte, des oiseaux volant sans direction, et qui ne peuvent se poser, témoignent de la tentative de dire cette existence.

Le programme :
@clara.iannotta : strange bird – no longer navigating by a star (nouvelle version)
Dmitri Chostakovitch : Concerto pour violoncelle n° 2 »
Franz Schubert : Symphonie n°9 « La Grande »

Les artistes :
Truls Mørk violoncelle
Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France
@markus.poschner direction

Avec le soutien de la @sacem

☘️ Cycle « Nature et Vivant » du Philhar

🎧 Concert diffusé le 27 décembre sur @francemusique, présenté par @clementrochefort
