She won Best Composer for this score at the 2014 European Film Awards, and tied with Jonny Greenwood for Best Music/Score at the Los Angeles Film Critics Awards. She was also nominated for the 2015 BAFTA Award for Best Film Music.
In 2014, The Purcell School ran ‘Shapes and Satellites’, a project with Mica, young composers and our IMPULSE Outreach team with funding from the PRS Foundation.
