Claudia Jane Scroccaro is an Italian composer of instrumental and electroacoustic music based in Paris, where she is teaching Formalisation, Computer Aided Composition and Analysis of Electronic Music at IRCAM.

In the constant search for a theatrical dramatisation of sound, she is deeply interested in electroacoustic music and music of oral tradition. While the sonic material remains the foundation of her work, by focusing on the physical tension between the musician's body and the body of the instrument, the listener is projected into immersive stage-works, where the visual aspects is highly determinant. Her creative approach explores a dramaturgy that oscillates between two extreme temporalities: the one that focuses on a human listening experience, connoted by a narrative approach; the other that explores the microphonic projections of the dynamic properties of sound in multidimensional spaces. This translates into an alternation between overflowing kaleidoscopic movements and immersive introspective explorations, with a compelling research on rhythmic aspects.

Supported by the DAAD Scholarship, she studied composition and electronic music with Marco 
Stroppa at the HMDK Stuttgart, while attending Masterclasses held by Philippe Leroux and Franck Bedrossian. She is laureate of the 2019.20 IRCAM Cursus, of the 2020 Académie Voix Nouvelles in Royaumont, and of the 2020.21 SWR Vokalensemble Akademie. 

Her catalog includes instrumental works, mixed music and electroacoustic pieces. Her music has been performed internationally by ensembles such as Ensemble Musikfabrik, SWR Vokalensemble, Ensemble Linea, Ensemble Ascolta, and soloists such as Johanna Vargas, Florentin Ginot, Jana Luksts, in IRCAM ManiFeste, Festival Neue Musik ECLAT, France Musique, Fondation Royaumont, Der Sommer in Stuttgart, among others.
