Studio
She's Got Claws is an electronic songwriter who writes, programs, engineers and produces her songs in her studio called *Automata-UK.
From humble beginnings using an Atari STE and Akai S3000XL samplers, SGC is now writing on a MacBook Pro running Logic Pro X and monitoring her songs through her Soundcraft Ghost desk.
She was inspired to begin her journey of working a studio when she began listening to Trent Reznor (NIN) and The Prodigy. These artists like to push the boundaries with their production techniques and throw the rule book away, which is what SGC finds so inspiring.
From 2012 , Micci released her self-titled debut album She's Got Claws which was produced and written on her retro Atari STE and Akai samplers.
A concept EP Synthetic Emotion then followed and released in July 2015 using her MacBook Pro with Logic Pro X. This EP tells the story of a relationship between a scientist and a humanoid, through love and loss the humanoid learns how to pick herself up from an emotional turmoil.
After laying down her vocals, She then heavily affected the vocals using plug ins to make her voice sound as close to how she believes a humanoid would sound when she sings. I Die For You is highly affected, however as each song unfolds, the vocal affects are lessened as the humanoid is becoming more human.
In 2016 Chris Payne (Gary Numan/Visage) asked SGC to write an instrumental album of 16 tracks entitled Euro Electronic 1 , who signed her to his company called The Electronic Music Library. This was a non exclusive deal, so SGC can work for other libraries and labels.
In March 2018 she released her 2nd studio album War Torn, which is an anti-war album and expresses her observations of war from many perspectives. This is available to listen to on Spotify, Apple Music and many download websites such as iTunes, Amazon and Google Play.
25th May 2018 saw the re-release of Synthetic Emotion (Rewired) EP. Remixed and remastered as Micci felt this release needed more punch and edge to the production. There was a limited run of hard copies which included brand new artwork. Available now as a download or streamed online.
Her studio is where she will spend 2019 as she is now focussing on her 3rd album, entitled Doppelgänger and is collaborating with Chris on bass from her previous band. He is also co-producing the songs. The sound for this album will be more bass driven to compliment her fractured beats, synth hooks and strident vocals. Doppelgänger is due for release Autumn 2019.
