Mira Calix is that rare thing: a musician who can do things like craft an album almost entirely from the sounds of clashing pebbles, and make it sound amazing and not at all hippy.

She also won the 2009 British Composer Award for her operatic work, My Sacred Heart. We spoke to her for The Creators Project.
