Mira Calix, real name Chantal Passamonte, is an artist signed to Warp Records who mixes her intimate vocals with jittering beats and experimental electronic textures. Having previously worked as press officer for Warp Records she quit to concentrate on producing her own material. Her first release on Warp was the “Ilanga” 10” co-produced with Autechre. The “Pin Skeeling” single followed in 1998m notably featuring a Boards of Canada remix.
Her debut album “One on One” was released by Warp on March 6, 2000. This was followed by a cd release of her radio sessions for John Peel later that year. The “Prickle ep” was released in 2001 featuring an Andrea Parker remix.
2003 saw the release of Nunu, a limited edition cd and t-shirt designed by Catherine Haines. The cd featured an 13 minute excerpt from a 30-minute piece created especially for the Micro Music-la Batie Festival De Geneve, 2002, later performed at the Royal Festival Hall. The track is based around the sounds of insects.
Passamonte’s 2nd full album, Skimskitta was released on Warp in March 2003, featuring more intricate and dark melodies than her debut.
2004 saw the release of 3 Commissions, a collection of installation and art soundtracks featuring the full version of Nunu.
Eyes Set Against The Sun is Mira Calix’s 3rd full album. Released on 15.01.07 it continues Chantal’s exploration of her own intricate electronic universe, developing and expanding the sound of her first two records.

I'm not a big fan of One on One, but I love Pin Skeeling and Skimskitta. I don't understand how people think that her music is boring or unoriginal, she produces some great ethereal electronica that I don't think sounds much like anyone else and if you think it's boring, you're probably just not into her style, so please no more of the "she's hot but her music is boring" shit. You're really not being funny.

Very enjoyable abstract electronica. All the people who can't get over the fact that *gasp* she's female are embarrassing themselves in this shoutbox and should really just go and do something constructive, like join the 21st century. Dear me.

2adam_wrong I don't know women composing a good electronic music, and Mira Calix confirms my opinion. She writes boring musiс, imho. "Лучше пусть котлеты Шону жарит, у ae лучше получается писать музыку" - it's just a joke with a portion of sexism maybe)

Who cares if she's a woman? I didn't know music was a sex thing, and that suddenly when a female appears on the scene, everybody has to pay attention to her. Yes, she is pretty, but does that change anything to her music? If she was ugly, would her music be less valuable? As far as it goes, i don't really enjoy Mira Calix, her songs are interesting, and i'm not saying it's bad, i just can't listen to regularly.

BORING NO, CRAP NO! Fuck off douchebags. Who knew such a cute girl could produce such electronic music. Its usually reserved for nerdy looking dudes with gross beards.
