What happened to Mira Calix?

“Mira was not only a tremendously gifted composer and artist, but she was also an endearing, compassionate human who impacted the lives of all who had the privilege of working with her… In a very unique way, she stretched the boundaries of electronic music, classical music, and art.”

Calix was the label’s first female artist to sign. She recorded six albums with Warp, beginning with One on One in 2000 and concluding with Absent Origin in 2021.

“We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of our dear Mira Calix,” Warp Records said in a statement.

“Mira was not only a very accomplished artist and composer, but she was also a lovely, kind human who impacted the lives of everyone who had the honor of working with her,” the statement read.

They then praised her work, stating it “pushed the boundaries of electronic music, classical music, and art in a completely unique way.”

“We are so proud of her enormous creative output; her artwork, films, and music were a genuine representation of what an imaginative, pioneering, and loving spirit she was,” the statement said.

“She will be sorely missed by everyone at the label, both employees and artists.”

Absent Origin was described as “a polyphony of primarily distinct female voices kept together by throbbing baselines.”

The darkness continues. So sad to read about the passing of my old friend Chantal, otherwise known as Mira Calix on @WarpRecords – we met when she was producing music nights back in the early 1990s electronica scene and were friends ever since. Utterly heartbreaking

Mira Calix set, Warp lighthouse party, Oct 2000. Every window of the warehouse shaking from the heaviest bass this wide-eyed kid had ever experienced. FFWD 22 years & she was still shaking fixed structures into motion & breaking boundaries on the daily. Unforgettable artist. RIP.

  1. Weird article. If she died of cancer it was obviously not a ‘victorious battle’. Her life was defeated by cancer!
