Mira Calix Cause Of Death

UK-based artist and musical polymath Mira Calix – née Chantal Passamonte — has died, aged 52. Her cause of death is not known.

Born in South Africa, Calix moved to London in 1991, and soon started organizing parties and DJing, while also working at a record shop.

She released her debut album, one on one on Warp Records in 2000, later going on to release a total of six albums on the storied label, including her 2021 LP, absent origin.

“She pushed the boundaries between electronic music, classical music, and art in a truly unique way. She will be terribly missed by everyone at the label, staff and artists alike,” shares Warp.

Alongside her music output, Calix also created her own multi-disciplinary installations, sculpture, video, and performance pieces. Recently, this included a collaboration with United Visual Artists on their luminous audio-visual work, Our Time.

“Mira was not only a hugely talented artist and composer, but she was also a beautiful, caring human who touched the lives of everyone who had the honor of working with her.”
