Mira Calix, the electronic producer celebrated for her complex, highly imaginative music and sound art, has died aged 51.

Her label, Warp Records, announced the news, and did not give a cause of death. A statement posted to social media said in part: “Mira was not only a hugely talented artist and composer, she was also a beautiful, caring human who touched the lives of everyone who had the honour of working with her … she pushed the boundaries between electronic music, classical music and art in a truly unique way.”
