Musician Rachel Claudio on building electronic performances and the transcending power of sound

Welcome to episode #44! Our guest is a European-based, Australian-born artist, composer, singer and producer. She uses electronic instruments and technology to create and perform masterpieces in real time, and has performed all over the world. She recently delivered a moving TEDx talk titled ‘how to translate the feeling into sound’ and is also a freelance lecturer in Creativity at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts.

 

Some of the topics we spoke about include:

The various experiences of the composer versus the listener
The best tools she recommends for those wanting to experiment with electronic instruments
Her cover of Outkast’s 'Hey Ya' thats surpassed well over 2.5 million views
The time she took the plunge at 24 years old to live in Europe and the journey that followed dedicating everything to her art
And the process of simultaneously performing while envisioning the composition ahead of time.

I present to you, the stunning, soulful and exceptionally talented ... Rachel Claudio!
