Claire Dickson
Claire Dickson is a vocalist, composer, improviser, and producer practicing emergent embodied songwriting. She considers song to be an artistically flexible modality that can encompass poetry, melody, harmony, rhythm, theater, philosophy, and any other idiom catalyzed by voice. Her work utilizes microphones, pedals, synthesizers, field recordings, acoustic instruments, and draws from lineages of improvisation, extended vocal technique, sampling, and deep listening. She creates interdependently with the Berlin and New York experimental music communities as an improviser. She graduated from Harvard in 2019 with a BA in Psychology and Music and has released two albums, Starland (2022) and The Beholder (New Amsterdam Records, 2024).
