Claire Rousay is an American experimental musician and sound artist whose work explores the emotive and visceral nature of human experience through sound recordings, performance, and improvised composition. Straddling the intersection of avant-garde, ambient, and narrative soundscapes, Rousay's unique approach incorporates field recordings, spoken word, and textural acoustics that capture the mundane and ephemeral aspects of life. Her compositions often delve into themes of intimacy, communication, and the nuances of personal identity, resonating with listeners through their profoundly personal and introspective qualities.

With a discography marked by both critical acclaim and a prolific creative output, Rousay's recent works like "Sigh In My Ear" and "a very busy social life" demonstrate her deftness in manipulating sonic environments to evoke emotional states. Her remix projects, such as "Sunset Poem (Claire Rousay Remixes)" and "Sculpting The Exodus (Claire Rousay Remix)," showcase her ability to reimagine existing pieces with a fresh and compelling perspective. Each release contributes to the tapestry of her growing reputation as a thoughtful and innovative figure in contemporary experimental music, securing Claire Rousay's status as an artist who pushes the boundaries of how we engage with and understand the sounds that soundtrack our lives.
