Chantal Francesca Passamonte[1] (28 October 1969 – 25 March 2022), known professionally as Mira Calix (/ˈmɪrə ˈkeɪlɪks/ MIRR-ə KAY-liks[2]), was a South African-born, British-based audio and visual artist and musician signed to Warp Records.[3][4]
Although her earlier music is almost exclusively electronic, from the 2000s onwards she incorporated writing for classical instrumentation into her musical works and expanded her practice to include multidisciplinary performance, film and multi-channel installation artworks. She often stated that she considered sound a sculptural material.
