Marlēné Claudine Radice is an Italian-Australian composer who
specialises in notated electroacoustic composition and
experimental sound art. Taking recorded sounds away from their
original sources, they process and manipulate these into new
musical structures. Raw industrial noises, looped voices and
hypnotic soundscapes are layered to create a nuanced and original
sound. Their 2026 Album, Come Out To Play, has been released by
Eternal Music Projects (VIC). The album has been mastered by
Lawrence English who described it as "beautiful works - morphia
and undulating."
They have been commissioned as composer and sound designer for;
The University of Canberra's Robotics Lab (2025), Chamber Made
(Listening Acts, 2023-5), Off The Ledge Theatre (The Almighty
Sometimes, 2025), Backbone Brisbane (HARPIES, 2024), Rebus
Theatre (Re-emergence, 2024, Utopiate, 2022, The Beauty Thief,
2021), Itazura Co (Carriageworks, 2022), Canberra Youth Theatre
(Little Girls Alone in the Woods, 2021), Belconnen Arts Centre
(MESS, 2020), the National Museum of Australia (Songlines of the
Western Desert, 2017) and Questacon (StellrScope, 2013). Their
work has been performed most notably by ANAM ensembles (Ian
Potter Centre, 2022), and the American Modern Ensemble (NY,
2018). They have presented their research on Iannis Xenakis at
the 2017 Xenakis Symposium in Leeds.
Marlene has worked as both director, composer, and producer for
the site specific works Retrograde (Belconnen Arts Centre, 2021),
