podcast 49-Juliana Hodkinson

Composer Conversations with Daniel Vezza

Juliana is a British composer living in Berlin. Her work ranges from chamber music and intimate semi-staged object pieces to large-scale electro-acoustic orchestral works, and often involves visual or theatrical elements. She has also created installations, and electronic performances embracing field recordings, samples, voice, text and foley. This set of interests has led her to develop collaborative practices spanning ad-hoc freelance and established institutional frameworks. Repeated collaborations with groups such as the Danish group Scenatet , the Australian arts collective Aphids, and Kammerensemble Neue Musik from Berlin, have enabled her to evolve a working practice based on the rehearsal processes of chamber music, yet with a flow of inter-disciplinary experimentation linking creative development, composition and performance.

In our conversation we talk about her time studying at Cambridge, the time she spent living in Denmark, and her ambitions when composing Operas.
