Photographer: Ali Asperheim
Casey Moir is an Australian born vocal-artist, improviser, and composer of experimental music, based in Stockholm, Sweden.
Her artistic practice is centered around the extended capabilities of the voice. She enjoys testing and pushing conventional boundaries, exploring how vowels and consonants can be formed, distorted, and manipulated, and how sounds can be shaped and moulded using the tongue, lips, glottis and hands. She combines these somewhat unconventional aspects with other musical aspects such as form, direction, overall shape, structure and movement. She is also keenly interested in the concept of space and room and how these can be investigated in performance, improvisation and composition. This has her composing larger scale works that use a whole room as the scene and that can have musicians and/or audience being ambulatory, changing directions, trajectories and proximities to things, sounds and others.
Casey graduated from The Australian National University in Canberra with her Bachelor of Music Performance, majoring on voice, in 2005. Since moving to Sweden in 2007 she has also completed a Bachelor of Improvisation (2011), and a Master of Experimental Composition (2021), at the Academy of Music and Drama, in Gothenburg.
