Cassandra Miller
Cassandra Miller is one of the busiest composers working today, and her approach to creativity is highly individual. Her work is often meditative, mesmeric even, and as she describes in this podcast, her intention is to create a "slow, entrancing world". She often bases her work on musical source – a recording, or a particular score – that has caught her attention and these influences range in style and form: from operatic singing, to Georgian folksongs, to Kurt Cobain. In this podcast, we explore this approach – known as "transcription" – as well as her fascinating career, and her many collaborations with extraordinary performing artists. We’re very grateful to the Bozzini Quartet, Juliet Fraser, Another Timbre label and Faber Music for allowing us permission to use the musical excerpts here.

Creative Spaces & Stargazing
Over the next few weeks we are counting down to the 2023 Aldeburgh Festival with the help of some of its star performers, artists, composers and conductors. In this episode we ask our guests about the importance of their surroundings – the sights and sounds of their creative spaces, the bleak beauty of Aldeburgh, and a thread through this year’s Festival: the enormity of the cosmos. Presented by BBC Radio 3’s Tom McKinney Edited by Matt Jolly Original theme music by Aldeburgh Young Musician, Laila Arafah
