about

Originally released as a one sided 12" on Whited Sepulchre Records and long since sold out, we are thrilled to offer this 2020 EP as a digital download. In these two songs, claire offers the smart phone as crystal ball. A tool whose unknowable properties allow us to reach across time and space, eavesdrop and peer deep into the intentions of our friends and enemies. Except that this crystal ball gazes back at you.

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 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 than the circadian rhythm destroying blue light from the screen inches from their face.

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. rousay performs with Brandon Lopez, Carol Genetti, Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten, Jacob Wick, Ken Vandermark, Lori Goldston, Michael Foster, Tom Carter, and others. rousay’s work has been performed at locations such as Casa del Popolo, Constellation Chicago, Experimental Sound Studio’s Option Series, Iklectik Art Lab (London), Issue Project Room, and the Tobin Center for Performing Arts (San Antonio).
