CLAIRE ROUSAY
LAILA SAKINI
Tuesday 11 April
Grand Junction, Rowington Cl, London W2 5TF
7.30pm | £16 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/g3773706d1eb
CLAIRE ROUSAY’s music zeroes in on personal emotions and the minutiae of everyday life — voicemails, haptics, environmental recordings, stopwatches, whispers and conversations — exploding their significance. Based in San Antonio, Texas, Claire’s acute assemblages of sound are both a diaristic portal into the life of their creator, and an exercise in dressing and undressing the bare audio field using compositional threads that feel loosely entangled, yet fastidiously woven. A prolific run of recordings since 2020, culminating in this year’s ‘everything perfect is already here’ (Shelter Press), has seen Claire come closer than most modern sound-makers to aesthetically nailing the temperament of a world turned inward.
Now, as music leaves the house once more, Claire’s live show – in both solo mode and trio formation with close collaborators Mari ‘More Eaze’ Maurice and Theodore Cale Schafer – brings a singular reflexivity, unflinching honesty and adroit humour to the performance space, with an ever-burgeoning audience accepting the invite into her soundworld.
