CLAUDIA JANE SCROCCARO
She is an Italian composer based in Paris, Fellow 2024–2025 at the French Academy in Rome – Villa Medici.
She teaches electronic music at IRCAM.
Her work explores the interaction between instrumental writing, voice, and digital technologies, within a research practice that connects formal structures, spatialization, and the social dimension of listening, approaching the sonic portrait as a compositional device articulating memory, identity, and representation.
After initial training in piano and orchestral conducting, she studied musicology at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, followed by composition and electronic music at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory. Supported by a DAAD scholarship, she continued her studies at the Stuttgart University of Music and Performing Arts, before joining IRCAM’s Cursus in composition and computer music, where she has been teaching since 2021.
Her music has been presented at major European festivals such as Donaueschinger Musiktage, IRCAM ManiFeste, Festival Éclat, Festival Propagations, Warsaw Autumn, with the support of IRCAM, Fondation Royaumont, France Musique, SWR, and the Fondation Pierre Boulez. It has been performed by Ensemble Musikfabrik, the SWR Vokalensemble, Johanna Vargas, Ensemble 2e2m, Talea Ensemble, Ensemble Linea, and Florentin Ginot.
Among her main mentors are Marco Stroppa, Philippe Leroux, Franck Bedrossian, as well as Mikhail Malt and Luigi Verdi.
Recent projects include On the Edge (SWR Vokalensemble, Donaueschinger Musiktage), Faro (Ensemble Musikfabrik, Fondation Pierre Boulez, Villa Medici, IRCAM), and Espaces Blancs (GMEM Marseille).
Her sound installation Détails et Retailles is currently presented at the Grand Palais as part of the exhibition Matisse, produced by the Centre Pompidou and IRCAM, conceived as a dialogue with the album Jazz.
