My aim was to create a unique experience ultimately for myself but also for those I\u2019m bringing along on this journey with me. I wanted to lean into a technicolor version of what my music can be, reaching for higher highs and greater twists and turns, and letting it sit with more confidence than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The London-born, Scottish-raised experimental composer channels intricate classical music, hyper pop, and expansive ambient across her catalog. In the years since Fibs, she has released scores for the A24 film Tuesday and Netflix\u2019s The End We Start From.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anna Meredith is kicking off 2027 with new work.
