Fra sin Base i San Antonio, Texas, sammenvæver den amerikanske komponist og lydkunstner Claire Rousay soundscapes af kompositoriske tråde, der tilsammen danner en dagbogslignende indgang til hendes liv og erfaringer. Hendes auditive materiale består blandt andet af telefonsvarebeskeder, feltoptagelser, stopure, hvisken og dagligdagssamtaler.
Mød Claire Rousay til en artist talk modereret af timelærer på RMC, Rune Kielsgaard.
Claire Rousay er i København i forbindelse med at hun spiller en koncert på Copenhagen Distillery d. 12 april som en del af en koncertserie præsenteret af 20_14. Billetlink til event her.
ENGLISH
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.
Meet Clare Rousay for a an artist talk moderated by RMC teacher Rune Kielsgaard.
Claire Rousay is in Copenhagen to perform a concert on 12th of April as part of the 20_14 concert series at Copenhagen Distillery. Ticketlink to event here.
