Casey Moir is an Australian born vocalist who is now permanently based in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Her artistic focus has her delving deeper into the capabilities of the voice. She enjoys testing and pushing conventional boundaries. She explores how for vowels and consonants are formed and can be distorted, how sounds can be shaped and manipulated, and then combining these somewhat unconventional aspects with the structure of composition.
Casey graduated from The Australian National University in Canberra with her Bachelor of Music Performance, majoring on voice, in 2005. Since moving to Sweden in 2007 she has also completed her Bachelor of Improvisation at the Academy of Music and Drama, in Gothenburg Sweden 2011.
After graduating in 2011 she travelled south to Australia again for a temporary 1 year visit to perform with other musicians and bands, performing often with her solo acoustic improvisation project Naked, as well as with alternative pop duo Mother Jack. The latter of these bands won the Best Up-and-coming-band at the 2012 Melbourne Fresh Competition. In July 2012 she returned again to her home in Sweden.
She is a member of and most often composer and bandleader for many different constellations such as Casey Moir Band, Naked (solo free improvisation), SVELIA (Australian/Swedish quintet), Mother Jack (alternative pop duo), Johan Moir Ensemble and MOCO (piano/voice improvisation duo). She has recently started the Gothenburg Improvisational Choir that will improvise around graphical charts written by her as well as various improvisational ideas modified specifically for the choir. See Groups for more info about each group.
She has performed at various festivals and venues in Australia, Sweden and Europe such as Luleå Blues Festival (SE), Umeå Jazz Festival (SE), Hagenfesten (SE), Fasching Jazz Club (SE), Nefertiti Jazz Club (SE), Glenn Miller Café (SE), Jazz I Malmö (SE), Make It Up Club Melbourne (AUS), Bennetts Lane Jazz Club (AU), NIMA (AU), Philly Joe’s Jazz Bar (EE), Jöhvi Concert Hall (EE), Horns Erben Jazz Club Leipzig (DE) and Alchemia Krakow (PL).
