Anna Meredith

Fairly new to me but only discovered through Wire and BBC Radio 3 is the Scottish composer and avant popster, Anna Meredith.

So here is a selection of her wonderful inclusive music - starting with an audiovisual delightful piece form the BBC Proms.


BBC Proms: Anna Meredith: Five Telegrams - Sender & Receiver (2018)

Her current and second "pop" album from 2019 "FIBS" includes this delightful electronic pop number -


ANNA MEREDITH - Sawbones

And apparently, this was the single form FIBS -

ANNA MEREDITH - Paramour

Wow! Such highly energetic music. I love it! So yes I do have FIBS in my collection.

And finally another live event -

Anna Meredith: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Anna Meredith was a former BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra Composer in Residence. The songs performed here come from her 2016 release called Varmints, which is where two of the three songs performed here can be found. It's been a long while since a contemporary composer has captured my musical imagination. I hope and trust this will open many to a new way of thinking about what music is and what it can do.
