Claire Rousay

Claire Rousay is a person who performs and records. She currently lives in San Antonio, Texas. Her performances and recordings explore queerness, human relationships, and self perception through the use of physical objects and their potential sounds.

Claire’s two compositions offer an almost painfully accurate mise en scene where sustained tones, plunderphonic samples and field recorded snippets of conversations are met with deeply solipsistic scenes where we are hurtled into the body of an uncreated body as they scroll, type, delete while the flutter of anxiety caused memories and inner-dialogue keep them up in much more meaningful ways that the circadian rhythm destroying blue light from their crystal ball.

BACKSEAT MAFIA

“Tuufuhhoowaah” plays in on a high electronic tone, set at an eye-widening pitch; there’s clicks and electronic chatter, the sort you get when your speakers are on and your phone dit-dit-dits back to base station. Plundered found voices reveal mysterious half-stories. The bips and themes of phone alerts scatter. There’s little primitivist swoops and exhalations, sniffs; there’s a real human in there somewhere.
